ANV Knives M311 SPELTER - TOPO, MICARTA OLIVE, KYDEX BLACK ANVM311-005

The M311 SPELTER knife was crafted in collaboration with forward air observation units, close protection teams, and special air operations personnel. Contributions from other military and security experts were also integral to its design. Throughout the development process, we prioritized incorporating their insights and needs. This collaboration allowed us to thoroughly test the quality of the materials, design, and overall construction. The knife underwent extensive testing in extreme environments and diverse climates, from the hot, dry, and humid regions of Asia to the frigid zones beyond the polar circle. The blade is forged from premium Swedish Elmax steel, renowned for its superior quality. This exceptional steel extends through the entire knife to the handle's base, which features a glass-breaking point. The blade boasts a robust DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) coating that reduces reflections, resists corrosion, and enhances the steel's sliding properties. The handle is crafted using 3D machining from Micarta, providing a comfortable and secure grip due to its ergonomic shape and textured grooves. A safety paracord loop is included to prevent the knife from slipping during use. The knife's structure is reinforced with solid threaded sleeves and four M5 screws, all finished with DLC for added durability. The knife is housed in a self-locking Kydex sheath, designed for easy, reliable, and safe transport. The sheath features openings compatible with a blade-tech system, allowing attachment to both molle and pals tactical webbing. A generous flow opening facilitates quick and easy maintenance of the sheath. Additionally, a belt hanger is provided for convenient carrying.
