Meaning behind Vox/Anso on Pingo?

Post by vaisforlovers »

Who is carrying today based on the team they are pulling for?

With no disrespect meant towards the designers, I think Vox/Anso is Danish for "Go Broncos"!

It's the collaboration with the Danish knifemakers Jesper Voxnaes and Jens Anso.
First collab with Jesper, but the third with Jens. He designed the RockLobster and the Zulu.

Oh how I wish this knife had a lock and was one hand opening. Sigh.

Only the handle on the Pingo is quite comfortable ;) Beautiful blade shape :)

In retrospect, I don't think your pingo is a bearer of good luck. :p

I see you made a proper edge on your's. I love the Pingo, but it sure has a shallow factory edge and needs fixing.
- best wishes, Jazz.

Interesting, is the angle more obtuse than the usual 15 dps? Is it because it is made in the Maniago factory?
