Ankylo Elmax
this is my everday carry, basic cutting cardboard, rope, carpet, drywall ect. holds an edge great and takes a new edge quickly. I have 3 Vosteed Knifes, love them all. very pleased with the quality of this knife. action is great. thumb hole is perfect for reverse flick. front flipper and rear both work well but not as snappy as thumb hole. knife is a little heavy than im used too but it is still hardly noticable in the pocket. highly recommend this or any Vosteed. porcupine is next for me.

My fourth Vosteed!
Huge Vosteed fan and planning on a fifth purchase before Christmas! I really like the button-pivot action for opening and the short backflipper works fine. My only deduction is the thumb hole position seems out of position… to me anyway… and I can’t seem to master that flicking geometry. (I think it would have been more beneficial to use a thumb stud.) Now it’s still a very good knife design and I really like this Vanchor lock system. I’ll open it with the pivot button 95% of the time anyway so, it’s not really a big drawback. But I also am surprised at the inconsistency in closing. Sometimes it drops easily and sometimes not which, I think, is mainly on me to get used to the Vanchor magnetic system's “touch and feel." Practice makes perfect! It is also a heavier knife, and while I like that substantial solid feel, I am just spoiled now/in love with the Vosteed Marten in carbon fiber! Every tool has its time to shine and it’s time will come! So, I do not regret the purchase of this Ankylo. The quality and value is incredible with Vosteed knives, well done Vosteed!
