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.

It’s the one!

Vosteed is leading in knife innovation and the Ankylo is no exception. Great fidget and HD work knife, I just love everything about this great knife.

Ankylo - Vanchor lock

This knife is just right for the every day user that likes a tough and reliable tool for any task at hand! Top tear fun factor that does not brake the bank. Great knife!

Great knife, needs more detent

I love the lock mechanism. The knife is great, but it could use more detent.

Can't put it down

A complete joy of a knife is just badass!

Sturdy

Nice craftsmanship with this knife while being, in my opinion, a bit brutish. The tiny flipper offers little advantage on the magnetic detent of the heavy .140 blade. The front flipper is equally difficult to dependably open the blade. The thumb hole or lock button is the easiest method. I like the blade shape and Vanax is a plus presenting a sturdy sharp edge. The knife is fairly heavy with a thicker than "normal" grip, a handful.
