IN MEMORIAM: THE ARN IS THE NEW AROS?

IN MEMORIAM: THE ARN IS THE NEW AROS?

With the latest news that Anso of Denmark will be discontinuing their beloved Aros model, we at Tombstone thought it would be a good idea to look into what would be taking the Aros' place. We present to you the Arn. This medium sized utility knife can scratch every one of your compact EDC needs. One thing that i always focus on in my own EDC set up is carry ability. When you start adding more and more items to your carry, it is easy to start feeling like you are over encumbered. The Arn has a sleek and lightweight design that will leave any pocket or pouch with room to spare. The low-profile flipper tab also ensures you won't get snagged when you need to use this knife quickly.

One of the aspects that make this knife stand out from the rest is its customization capabilities. Collectors love having one knife in a multitude of different colors and scale variations but buying the Arn once is all you need. The Arn has a unique inset scale system that allows you to change out the inlays with relative ease. This unique modular set up gives you a knife that will not only fulfill your EDC needs today but will also change with you as your tastes develop. But for me, maybe I'm just a sucker who appreciated exquisite and premium design that feels incredible in hand. Having been a huge fan of the Aros, I am excited to see how Anso will develop the Arn as time goes on.
