A090

Product detailed description

Big things don’t always seek attention. A090 proves that strength can come in a compact, refined form. In everyday life, there’s no need to dominate—being ready, discreet, and efficient is often more valuable. That’s exactly why the most compact knife in the A series was created.

The A090 was designed with a focus on functionality, durability, and comfortable everyday carry (EDC). Its size offers excellent handling comfort— it takes up minimal space in the pocket while fitting perfectly in hand. With a less aggressive blade shape and subtle profile, the A090 presents a more civilian-friendly appearance than other models, making it an ideal tool for urban environments, office use, or discreet travel carry. Compact in dimensions, but never in capability — A090 is a fully capable tool.

Inspired by the construction of the A200 model, it maintains all essential functional components. One-handed opening is enabled by a red ambidextrous thumb stud with integrated ANV lumidot. The blade runs smoothly on ball bearings, while the reliable A-lock mechanism ensures secure locking. Ergonomically shaped black G10 scales with a precision-milled texture provide a secure grip without being overly aggressive—ideal even for extended use.

The Sandvik stainless steel blade, shaped in the signature ANV Swedge with a drop point profile, is tailored for everyday tasks from opening boxes and preparing food to light outdoor use. At the rear, contrasting red spacers reinforce the handle and allow for paracord attachment.

Weighing just 77 grams, the A090 features a reversible deep pocket carry clip that blends seamlessly into the handle for low-profile, comfortable carry in any pocket.

Attention to detail, minimalist design, and thoughtful construction make the A090 a discreet yet ready performer. A true professional among folding knives — always close at hand, never in the way.
