Ansø Knife Tool Mini - Timascus - Hand Polished
Introducing the Ansø Knife Tool Mini, a collaboration between Audacious Concept and Danish designer Jens Ansø. This compact version of the original Knife Tool delivers the same precision mechanics and flawless ergonomics in a smaller, more pocketable form. Machined from solid Timascus and hand-polished to a brilliant finish, it’s both a high-performance instrument and a statement of craftsmanship - no two pieces are ever the same.
Key Features
Hand-Polished Timascus Finish: The mirror-polished surface reveals Timascus’s mesmerizing layers of blue, purple, and gold hues. Each tool is a unique work of art, showcasing the beauty of forged titanium alloys enhanced by meticulous hand finishing.
Compact Yet Capable: Measuring just 69 mm in length, the Mini retains the full mechanical precision of the standard model while offering superior portability and ease of carry.
Lightweight and Durable: Timascus combines the strength, lightness, and corrosion resistance of titanium with an aesthetic unlike any other material - elegant, functional, and built to last.
Double Bearing System: Developed by Audacious Concept, this precision-engineered system ensures buttery-smooth, consistent bit rotation. It uses EZO bearings from Japan, trusted for their silent operation, ultra-tight tolerances, and exceptional longevity.
Ergonomic Grenade Grip: The signature grenade-patterned surface provides a secure grip and tactile confidence, while the hollow top enables precise fingertip control for detailed work.
Magnetic Bit Holder: A neodymium magnet holds standard 1/4" bits (not included) securely in place, enabling fast, reliable bit changes.
Fully Disassemblable: Designed for complete maintenance - can be easily disassembled with a special tool (sold separately).
Unique Serial Number: Each tool carries its own serial number for authenticity and traceability.
