Ansø Knife Tool - Ultem - Natural Amber
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 edition brings together advanced materials and minimalist design. Machined from genuine Ultem (PEI), it offers impressive strength, low weight, and a distinctive translucent amber look that sets it apart from traditional metal tools.
Key Features
Ultem Construction: The semi-transparent amber body reveals subtle internal details, giving the tool a modern, technical aesthetic. Despite its light weight, Ultem provides excellent rigidity, heat resistance, and long-term dimensional stability.
Ultra-Lightweight Design: At just a fraction of the weight of titanium or brass, the Ultem version is effortless to carry while maintaining full functional capability - ideal for those who prioritize minimalism in their EDC setup.
Double Bearing System: Developed by Audacious Concept, the dual bearing design ensures smooth, precise, and controlled bit rotation. The system features EZO bearings from Japan, renowned for their precision manufacturing, silent motion, and reliability in high-performance mechanisms.
Ergonomic Grenade Grip: The grenade-patterned texture on both head and body ensures excellent grip and control, while the hollow top allows smooth fingertip rotation during detailed work.
Magnetic Bit Holder: A strong neodymium magnet holds standard 1/4" bits (not included) securely in place for quick and stable bit changes.
Fully Disassemblable: Designed for complete maintenance - can be fully disassembled using a special disassembly tool (sold separately).
Unique Serial Number: Each tool carries an individual serial number for authenticity and traceability.
