Introducing the Ankylo, 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" Elmax reverse tanto blade paired with aluminum handle scales. Known for its balanced composition, Elmax 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.

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.
