Acta Non Verba A090 Alock – Black GRN – Sleipner Steel
The Acta Non Verba A090 (ANVA090-001) is a streamlined, tactical-centric EDC folder that prioritizes speed, lightness, and ambidextrous efficiency. As part of ANV's celebrated "A-series" of folding knives, the A090 is designed for professional users who need a full-sized blade without the pocket bulk. The handle is constructed from Glass-Reinforced Nylon (GRN), a high-strength polymer that is significantly lighter than G10 while offering superior impact resistance and thermal stability. The handle features a unique checkered texture for a secure grip and houses the proprietary A-lock—ANV's version of the crossbar lock—which allows for safe, lightning-fast deployment and closing using either hand.
The 3.50-inch blade is crafted from Swedish Sleipner Tool Steel, a high-performance alloy often described as a "super D2." It offers improved toughness and better edge stability over traditional D2, making it an excellent choice for hard-use cutting tasks. The blade is finished in a non-reflective Black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, which provides industry-leading scratch resistance and helps protect the high-carbon steel from corrosion. A hallmark of the ANV line, the A090 features the Lumidot—a Swiss Super-Luminova inlay on the thumb stud that glows in the dark for easy indexing. With its reversible deep-carry wire clip and sub-3-ounce weight, the A090 is an elite choice for low-profile carry in 2026.
Includes: Acta Non Verba A090 Folding Knife, Warranty Information, and ANV Signature Packaging.
