Acta Non Verba A400 FAQ

The Acta Non Verba A400 Hard Task Flipper pairs a full-sized 4.1-inch Sleipner blade with an ambidextrous crossbar A-Lock. Designed for heavy outdoor utility and hard cutting chores, it delivers extensive cutting reach in a 4.8-ounce build.

What blade steel does the Acta Non Verba A400 use?
The Acta Non Verba A400 uses Sleipner tool steel with a black DLC finish. Sleipner provides high wear resistance and outstanding toughness for heavy cutting chores, while the knife's high flat grind preserves clean slicing performance.
How does the flipper action perform with the A-Lock?
The A400 pairs a manual flipper tab with ANV's A-Lock, which is a crossbar lock mechanism. Because crossbar locks do not use a standard detent ball, flipping the blade reliably requires a firm, deliberate push on the tab to ensure full lock engagement.
Can the A400 be used to strike a ferro rod?
Yes, the A400 features a sharpened choil specifically designed to work as a fire steel scraper. This dedicated scraping edge allows you to generate sparks for outdoor fire starting without dulling or damaging the primary cutting edge.
How does the A400 carry in the pocket?
The A400 carries via a reversible deep-carry wire pocket clip and weighs a reasonable 4.8 ounces despite its 4.1-inch blade. However, the aggressively textured G10 handle scales create significant pocket friction that can cause wear on fabric over time.
Is the A400 suitable for users with smaller hands?
Users with smaller hands may find the A400 somewhat awkward to close one-handed. Because the handle is quite long, the pocket clip sits far back from the lock sliders, giving smaller hands less leverage to anchor against when pulling back the crossbar.
