Acta Non Verba A100 AL A-Lock Folding Knife, Elmax Black, Aluminum Blue, ANVA100-037

A truly great EDC folding knife needs to do more than just cut well. It has to be lightweight, durable, reliable, and comfortable for everyday carry – and that’s exactly what the A100 delivers. Its new, elegant aluminum handle scales elevate its character to a whole new level.

The anodized aluminum handle scales give the knife a luxurious look that fits just as well in a suit pocket as it does on a wilderness adventure. A subtly textured surface ensures a secure grip while remaining pocket-friendly. Thanks to the strong yet lightweight aluminum, the knife has excellent balance and maintains an ideal weight for everyday use.

At the core is a blade made from premium Elmax or Sandvik 14C28Nstainless powder steel, cryogenically hardened for maximum edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The blade is finished with a durable DLC coating and features ANV’s signature swedge grind for enhanced penetration and refined aesthetics.

The handle is held together by a floating GRN polymer backspacer in contrasting black, which serves as both a palm support and a paracord lanyard pass-through. It also features the A-lock – our trusted, easy-to-use locking mechanism.

Completing the setup is a deep-carry pocket clip that stays discreet but performs flawlessly. It’s short, lightweight, and reversible for left or right-side carry.
