M311 Spelter by the Czech ANV has been developed in cooperation with Forward Air Controllers, Closed Protection teams and Special Air Operations unit as well as other military and security professionals,
The development of the knife was based on the experience and requirements of the above experts. This rare cooperation thoroughly tested the quality of the materials used as well as the product processing and design. The knife has undergone a long-time testing in extreme conditions and versatile climates from the hot, dry or humid regions of Asia to freezing plains behind the Arctic Circle. The blade M311 is made from a first-class steel – Swedish Elmax. It goes through the entire knife's body all the way to the end of the handle, this makes the construction the most reliable possible, full tang construction. The blade features an extremely durable DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) finish, which reduces reflections, eliminates rust and gives the steel other unique properties.
The handle is 3D machined from the Micarta material, thanks to its shape and grooving it fits in the hand just right and gives the knife a safe and secure grip. At the end of the handle the knife features a glass breaker. The knife is also equipped with a safety paracord bracelet to keep the knife secure during cutting techniques. The whole construction of the knife is held together by a combination of threaded sleeves and 4 DLC treated M5 crews. A comfortable, reliable and safe carry of the knife is ensured by the supplied self-locking kydex sheath with in-built ANV Blade-Tech ports enabling MOLLE compatibility. A smart drain port allows for easy and quick maintenance of the sheath. The sheath comes always in the same colour as the handle. Together with the kydex sheath, the supply also includes a belt adapter for comfortable carry.
All knives come from the factory extremely sharp. Be careful when unpacking and using your knife. There is a risk of injury. If you decide to wear the knife on your neck, make sure you use the ANV safety necklace (sold separately). Never use cords, lines, laces or other (even sturdy) materials. You may get injured when caught on an obstacle. The supplied Paracord (only in Kydex sheaths) has a load bearing capacity of 280 kg (550 lb). Keep it in mind when using your knife. Keep knife away from children.
