Ancient Spring is another brand of JiYi Chen also the manufacturer of the well-known brand J.E. Made Knives is. Since the J.E.Made brand knives are expensive due to the materials used, JiYi Chen has decided to produce a cheaper brand. Thus, the well-known models Lanny's clip and Zulu are now built with cheaper materials without sacrificing quality. The first Run 2019 is marked with a circle on the blade.

Used here are scales from G10 and as blade steel Sandvik 12C27. Both very good components and a lot cheaper than titanium or CPM-S35Vn.
The blade thickness has been reduced a bit, which also ensures a lower price.
