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.

Near Perfect EDC

The first thing that caught my eye was how aesthetically pleasing the knife looked. I like the idea of a unique locking system. Vosteed offered 30% off which made it a “yes” for me.
The knife arrived in beautiful packaging. The knife has multiple deployment methods which makes it a fidgety delight. I need a little practice getting used to the different methods. The ergonomics are pleasing with several ways to comfortably hold the knife. The factory edge was sharp and did cut decently. I did have sharpen it to a laser edge, though.
Overall a 5 star rating. Awesome EDC!

Clever Knife

The Vanchor lock, flipper points, and thumb hole make this knife is the perfect fidget blade. Has enough weight and size that my hands won't cramp while still being an EDC. I did a lot of research before buying this knife and I'm happy to say the quality punches above its price.
