    VANCHOR LOCK

    The Ankylo is our first knife design featuring the innovative Vanchor lock mechanism. This 2-in-1 system combines a pivot and button, allowing for an effortlessly magical way to close the knife.

    The Vanchor lock integrates a magnetic connector and a robust lock plate, working together to ensure both stability and reinforcement. Additionally, the lock's design guarantees that the pivot/button remains recessed, regardless of the lock's engagement, for seamless operation and a sleek appearance.

     

    HIGH PERFORMANCE

    The Ankylo is powerdered by a 3.18" Bohler Elmax Blade. The Elmax steel is a well-rounded blade material that combines excellent edge retention, high wear resistance, good corrosion resistance, high toughness, and ease of sharpening. 

     

    ERGONOMIC HANDLE

    The Handles are made from 6061 Aerospace Grade Aluminum. They offer a great strength-to-weight ratio, and we did tons of tests to find the most comfortable handle shape for you. To take the ergonomics to the next level, all corners of the handle are double CNC chamfered.

     

    REVERSIBLE CLIP

    A reversible clip allows both right-handed and left-handed users to enjoy the knife. It also comes with a filler tap that can cover the non-clip side. This added feature enhances the aesthetics and acts as a protective barrier against dirt, dust, or other debris.

     

    BACK STORY

     In short, we love knives, and we love making knives for you. we always want to create fun, unique, and functional knives for you. Through our daily discussions and interactions with Vosteedians, we got the idea that you want a knife that is:

    A knife with a NEW lock mechanism

    A knife with tons of FUN factors

    A knife with a COMFORTABLE design

    A knife with a SECURED lock-up

    After almost 27 months of hard-working, head-scratching, coffee, and beers, the Ankylo is finally ready to roam on the knife horizon! It's our most sincere wish that our Patented V-anchor lock Ankylo can bring joy to you, and put a big smile on your face.

    Ankylo joy

    Love my ankylo. Ever since the Kickstart campaign started, I've planned on getting my hands on one. It is of the quality and innovation that I have experienced from other vosteed products. The lock is impressive and it was neat to see this knife come together from a design concept, to prototype, and finally production. It fills the hand nicely, and has that fidget factor that comes with the multiple deployment options. The ankylo has joined my other favorite knives in heavy rotation of EDC pocket time. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solid, well built, and well designed workhorse. Just required a short break in period. Nice and smooth after that.

    What a knife ..!!

    Hi,
    I have just received my knife and it is perfect (almost perfect), very strong, nice adjustment.
    Just a criticism, no hole to fix a rope to avoid it fall down in the wter or from a mountain ...

    Velvet smooth and solid as a Rock!

    Absolutely 10/10! This is beast of a knife but very refined. Build quality and craftsmanship is outstanding! The lock system works perfectly! It’s a bigger knife and on the heavier side but I like that! Fits my hand perfectly! The photos on the site do not do justice for the orange color - it looks so much better IRL!!!
