In 1970 [[Teddy Knudsen]] had taken leave from [[Anne Julie]] tired of making highgrade pipes but being paid as gofer. [[Sven Knudsen]], his elder brother, invited him to join together at Sven's place in Tappernoje on the Island of Fyn, not far from the country village Praestoe. They agreed to work together and started a project they called "Dantonian PipeWorks". | [[Image:Dantonian00.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Catalog Cover page, featuring Model 1 "Grand Classic" full bent]]In 1970 [[Teddy Knudsen]] had taken leave from [[Anne Julie]] tired of making highgrade pipes but being paid as gofer. [[Sven Knudsen]], his elder brother, invited him to join together at Sven's place in Tappernoje on the Island of Fyn, not far from the country village Praestoe.

They selected a compilation of pipes and in early 1971 they published the Dantonian PipeWorks Catalog worldwide. In English only, because the brothers orientated to the export markets in Germany, the United States, and particularly in Japan. The pipes were made to order both for customers and retailers. | |||
The catalog portrayed a carefully balanced selection of models. Some Sven had developed and refined earlier when he was at [[Suhr's Pibemageri]] and later when working for [[W.Ø. Larsen]] and [[Pibe-Dan]]. Shapes like the "Walrus" or the "Swan" had already earned him a considerable reputation, and yet others that were newly sketched now. Teddy also added some of his own designs. | The catalog portrayed a carefully balanced selection of models.
