The EDC A100 BB folding knife from the Czech brand ANV (Acta Non Verba) is a tool that perfectly combines the functions that you simply demand from a folding knife. Specifically, it offers good ergonomics, low weight, reliability, a material pleasant to the touch, and a successful design.
The blade of the ANV EDC A100 BB knife is the result of many years of development in the field of materials. At the front, there is ANV swedge grinding, and the surface finish is DLC, which is among the best on the market. Thanks to this, you can rely on long-lasting perfect sharpness and high durability.
The knife has ambidextrous control using the ANV button and is therefore suitable not only for right-handers but also for left-handers. In the center of the opening button is the ANV Lumidot, a phosphorescent dot made of Swiss Super-LumiNova material.
Another specialty of ANV knives, including the ANV EDC A100 BB model, is the durable A-lock with a smooth surface, which combines ambidextrous design with safety. Thanks to this lock, you will always have the certainty that the knife will not accidentally open in your pocket.
The handles of the A100 knives are made of GRN material, which is a highly strong and durable composite polymer. Primarily, it is used to manufacture firearm frames. Despite its above-average durability, the entire handle made of GRN material is surprisingly light (the whole knife weighs an incredible 72 grams!). The handle has a surface treated with knurling, which are the grooves that improve the surface texture and provide a secure grip.
The handle also includes a floating back spacer that enhances the ergonomic properties of the knife, serves as a support for the palm, and is also very light – and again made of composite GRN polymer. At the end of the back spacer, there is a hidden hole for threading paracord.
The knife also comes with a clip for deep carry in the pocket. This clip is short, light, matches the design of the rest of the knife, and can be mounted on both sides. Thanks to the elegant appearance of the clip, the knife attached to the edge of the pocket can even resemble a pen, and thus it does not attract unwanted attention at all. Moreover, it will still be available whenever needed.
