237,85 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Orso2 Gray Titanium 3D, Satin the original Orso designed by Danish custom knife maker Jens Ansø is an excellent example of the design principles "where form follows function" quickly becoming the model of the ideal E.D.C. knife for many blade enthusiasts. The new Orso 2 is another great E.D.C. folder. Jens Ansø. The model is an upgraded version of the Orso knife with improved ergonomics with Frame Lock and a blade made of Lohmann LO-QPM 20-4 stainless steel.
LO-QPM 20-4 - modern high-speed tool steel. High wear resistance and high working hardness, about 59-61 HRC. Sourced from Lohmann, the equivalent of M390 or CPM 20CV steel.
Blade - versatile Straight Back type with clearly marked belly finished in elegant Satin method. Despite the thickness of the blade, the high, full flat grind gives excellent cutting properties, combined with extreme durability. A ball bearing system assists in the smooth opening of the blade, which can be opened with a quick flipper flipper. The flipper consists of a small lever (protrusion) that extends beyond the back of the handle when the head is closed. In the open position, it acts as a stinger, protecting the hand from slipping on the blade. The whole thing is locked by a modern frame lock with a steel insert that prevents the face of the lock from rubbing off.
Handle - solid GR.5 titanium (Ti6Al4V) facings with 3D texture for a more secure grip, bolted to a CNC-milled titanium backspacer, which means practical indestructibility of such construction. A right-handed, single-position titanium deep-carry clip allows the knife to be carried discreetly in the tip-up (blade tip up) position. Backspacer with lanyard hole, an elongated hole for a belay or decorative cord.
