A futuristic workhorse with a mean streak. Built to flip, cut, and flat-out impress.

The Ankylo is Vosteed doing what they do best—pushing boundaries without compromising real-world usability. The Ankylo utilises Vosteed's patented Vanchor lock, a wild but rock-solid hybrid system where the pivot doubles as the button, giving you one of the smoothest, most intuitive closings you’ll ever feel on a folding knife.

It’s clever engineering without the gimmicks: magnets, reinforced lock plate, and a recessed pivot/button that stays out of the way no matter how hard you work the blade. Paired with a 3.18" Bhöler Elmax slicer and a fully chamfered aerospace-grade aluminum handle, the Ankylo strikes that rare balance of high performance, high comfort, and high fun. This one didn’t happen overnight—27 months of tinkering, testing, and arguing over beers—but the result is a knife that feels fresh, tough, and seriously satisfying to carry.

Highlights

• Elmax steel blade – wicked edge retention and toughness, so it stays sharp and shrugs off hard use.
• Tall flat grind – clean, controlled slicing whether you’re breaking down boxes or prepping camp food.
• 3.18" blade length – long enough for real work, compact enough for daily pocket duty.
• 6061 aluminum handle – lightweight, rigid, and double-chamfered so it won’t chew up your hand.
• Vanchor lock mechanism – pivot-as-button magic that gives you smooth, fidget-friendly closing with bombproof lock-up.
