Ansø Knife Tool - Brass - Satin
Introducing the Ansø Knife Tool, a collaboration between Audacious Concept and Danish designer Jens Ansø. Created for assembling, maintaining, and disassembling folding knives and precision equipment, this tool merges mechanical precision with understated elegance. Machined from solid brass and finished with a smooth satin texture, it delivers a balanced feel, classic aesthetics, and durability that improves with age.
Key Features
Satin Brass Finish: The fine brushed surface provides a refined, soft sheen that hides minor wear and fingerprints while preserving the warm character of solid brass. Over time, it will develop a natural patina - a unique, evolving look that makes each tool truly personal.
Solid Brass Construction: The dense brass body offers a satisfying, stable weight that enhances control during use, giving the tool a confident, professional feel in hand.
Double Bearing System: Developed by Audacious Concept, the dual bearing mechanism ensures smooth, precise bit rotation. The system incorporates EZO bearings from Japan, known for their precision manufacturing, low friction, and exceptional longevity - trusted by professionals in aerospace and fine mechanics.
Ergonomic Grenade Grip: The signature grenade-patterned texture on both head and body ensures secure grip and precise control, while the hollow top allows smooth fingertip rotation for fine work.
Magnetic Bit Holder: A powerful neodymium magnet holds standard 1/4" bits (not included) securely in place, allowing quick and stable bit changes.
Fully Disassemblable: The tool can be fully disassembled for cleaning and maintenance using a special disassembly tool (sold separately).
Unique Serial Number: Each piece carries its own unique serial number for authenticity and traceability.
Materials
