This compact evolution of the original Ansø Knife Tool delivers the same precision, ergonomics, and build quality in a smaller, more portable form. Machined from solid brass and hand-polished to perfection, it combines refined aesthetics with satisfying heft - a pocket-sized tool that feels as good as it looks.
Key Features
Hand-Polished Brass Finish: The mirror-polished surface highlights the natural warmth and depth of brass. Over time, the metal develops a unique patina, giving each tool an evolving character that reflects its use.

Solid Brass Construction: Provides a balanced weight and premium feel in hand, ensuring stability and precision during use.
Double Bearing System: Developed by Audacious Concept, the dual bearing design guarantees smooth and precise bit rotation. It uses EZO bearings from Japan, known for their tight tolerances, quiet operation, and exceptional durability.
Ergonomic Grenade Grip: The grenade-patterned texture offers secure handling and enhanced control, while the hollow top enables smooth fingertip rotation for delicate tasks.
Magnetic Bit Holder: A strong neodymium magnet firmly holds standard 1/4" bits (not included), allowing fast and secure bit changes.
Fully Disassemblable: Designed for maintenance and cleaning - can be completely disassembled using a special tool (sold separately).
Unique Serial Number: Each tool carries an individual serial number for authenticity and traceability.
