Introducing the Ankylo from Vosteed Knives, the first knife to feature the innovative Vanchor lock mechanism. This 2-in-1 system seamlessly combines a pivot and button, making it incredibly easy and satisfying to close the knife.

The Vanchor lock integrates a magnetic connector with a robust lock plate, ensuring stability and reinforcement. No matter the lock’s engagement, the pivot/button remains recessed for smooth operation and a sleek look.

High Performance

The Ankylo boasts a 3.18" 154CM reverse tanto blade paired with aluminum handle scales. Known for its balanced composition, 154CM steel maintains a sharp edge over extended use while requiring minimal maintenance, delivering high performance with low upkeep.

Ergonomic Handle

Crafted from 6061 Aerospace Grade Aluminum, the handles offer an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. After extensive testing, the most comfortable handle shape was achieved. For enhanced ergonomics, all corners of the handle are double CNC chamfered, providing a smooth and comfortable grip.

Reversible Clip

The Ankylo’s reversible clip accommodates both right-handed and left-handed users. It also includes a filler tap to cover the non-clip side, enhancing aesthetics and acting as a barrier against dirt and debris.

Back Story

At Vosteed, there’s a deep love for knives, and the goal is to create fun, unique, and functional tools. From daily discussions with the community, the idea for the Ankylo was born: a knife with a pivot that doubles as a button, a new lock mechanism, tons of fun features, a comfortable design, and a secure lock-up.

After nearly 27 months of hard work, creativity, and countless cups of coffee, the Ankylo is ready to make its mark in the knife world. With the patented Vanchor lock, it’s designed to bring joy and a smile to your face.

    4.5*! Very high quality, fidgety and sturdy knife.

    Posted by Ben on 31st Dec 2024

    I’ll start by saying REC is a great company to order form. I got the knife quicker than expected (right before Christmas) so it shows that even in busy seasons they deliver! 5 stars on the company, 4.5 on Vosteeds knife. The Vosteed Ankylo is my first EDC knife and I think this is one of the best ones out there for the money. Front and back flipper plus a thumb hole all done pretty well is surprisingly not as easy to come by at this price point. That and it’s 154cm so you get something that’s an entry level premium material but still better than most budget steels. Getting good hardcoated aluminum on the handle scales, a very versatile blade shape with a very aesthetically pleasing stone wash. I like this color option because it’s uncoated so it lets the blade steel shine. I like the hardware being mostly T8 with he exception of the pivot but those aren’t expected to need hard cranking very often so even those I’m not worried about stripping out. The lockup is rock solid, the pivot button makes it really easy to operate and doesn’t require much grip change for me. My ONLY issue here is gonna be the pocket clip. I noticed after one or 2 hours being clipped onto my pocket it bent upwards and stopped having as tight of a pinch on fabric. Maybe the clip adjusting to the thickness of the pocket material and could also be normal, I wouldn’t know as I am new to knife EDC and haven’t heard anyone say this happens. I’ll probably call vosteed. Again REC was wonderful to order from! No complaints on the team! Thanks!
