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
