ANV Knives M311 SPELTER - TOPO, MICARTA OLIVE, KYDEX OLIVE ANVM311-023

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 also played a crucial role in its design. Our development process was heavily influenced by their insights and needs, allowing 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 the renowned Swedish Elmax steel, known for its superior quality. This premium steel extends through the entire knife to the base of the handle, which features a glass-breaking point. The blade is coated with a highly durable DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) finish, which reduces reflections, prevents corrosion, and enhances the steel's sliding properties. The handle is crafted using 3D machining from Micarta, providing a comfortable grip thanks 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 secured with robust threaded sleeves and four M5 screws, all featuring a DLC finish. For secure and convenient carrying, the knife comes with a self-locking Kydex sheath, designed with openings for attachment to a blade-tech system, allowing for compatibility with both molle and pals tactical webbing. A generous flow opening ensures easy and quick maintenance of the sheath. Additionally, we provide a hanger for effortless belt carrying.
