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.

 

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 pivot with DOUBLE functions, Pivot = Button

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.

A beauty !

Great feeling in the hand. Materials are amazing. Could be a little less longer so that the front flipper will be more easy to use. Could be a little more smooth too but with some oil it will be perfect !

My favorite knife

Hello Vosteed,
I am so glad I bought this Ankylo! It locks open and is so solid you could almost call it a fixed blade! It’s been in my pocket since it arrived.
Elmax is rugged steel and I put it through its paces cutting wood cardboard plastic etc….
It already moved from my Ankylo arrived to my favorite knife! Really great job on the fit and finish. I’ve recommended Vosteed as my favorite knife maker to anyone who wants to get one of your knives because they love my Ankylo.
Quality is paramount for me. I worked quality assurance for a company that made military equipment. I can find things so fast because my eye balls are calibrated!!
