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.

Pocket greatness

I'm in love with this knife even not owning one :)
Especially the stonewash/blue handles combo. Will be even more cool if the button has the same stonewash color as the blade like most new Vanchor Shilin Cutters :)

Tres Joli couteau, bien conçu

Tres Joli couteau, bien conçu, bonne prise en main et matériaux choisis de qualité, mais le flipper est perfectible, il acroche le doigt à l'ouverture,
J'espère qu'il y aura d'autres générations avec ce système d'ouverture et que le souci d'ouverture avec le flipper sera corrigé

Awesome Knife

I am so impressed with Vosteed, this knife is perfect in my opinion. I normally carry a smaller and lighter knife, but the Ankylo may just be the final knife. I really like Elmax steel, so that is a positive, but the shape, how it feels, and the Vanchor lock make this knife stand out from everything else. There is nothing about this knife I dislike. I like it so much, I saw an orange one at WMK and bought a second one. I won't lose the orange at work, and the blue is for at home. If you are on the fence, just buy one, you won't regret it. Love this knife
