Ansø Knife Tool - Brass - Stonewashed
Introducing the Ansø Knife Tool, a collaboration between Audacious Concept and Danish designer Jens Ansø. Designed for assembling, maintaining, and disassembling folding knives and precision gear, this tool combines solid construction with refined engineering. Machined from solid brass and finished with a rugged stonewashed texture, it offers a distinct, worn-in look that adds personality and hides wear beautifully over time.
Key Features
Stonewashed Brass Finish: The tumbled matte surface gives the tool a rugged, weathered appearance right out of the box. Each piece has its own unique pattern, and as the brass ages, it continues to evolve with a rich patina that enhances its character.
Solid Brass Construction: The dense brass body provides a satisfying heft and excellent stability, giving you precise control during detailed work while adding a sense of substance and reliability.
Double Bearing System: Developed by Audacious Concept, the dual bearing design ensures exceptionally smooth and controlled bit rotation. It utilizes EZO bearings from Japan, valued for their precision, quiet operation, and outstanding durability - a benchmark in high-end mechanical design.
Ergonomic Grenade Grip: The grenade-patterned texture on both head and body provides secure grip and confident handling, while the hollow top allows smooth fingertip control for precise adjustments.
Magnetic Bit Holder: A strong neodymium magnet securely holds standard 1/4" bits (not included), enabling quick, reliable bit changes.
Fully Disassemblable: The tool can be completely taken apart for cleaning and maintenance using a special disassembly tool (sold separately).
Unique Serial Number: Each tool is individually numbered, ensuring authenticity and traceability.
