The M311 Spelter is fantastic, survival, hard-use, belt knife ( with a Tactical flavour) Outstanding handle ergos for the bigger hand and in a great Price Range of thoughtfully chosen Steels. The main reason for this 5 Star rating is for the company, Acta Non Verba... after purchasing the Sleipner version, I wasn't happy with the heavily stone-washed example I had received (soft grind lines and a shallower choil than in previous versions). Not only were they a pleasure to deal with, It arrived just before Christmas, but was delayed by Postal Strikes and I was not notified, the shipment then automatically returned to the Czech Republic!? ANV kindly returned it (again) making sure no Duty was needed, as I found that UK Custom tried to charge over £90 the first failed attempt! After I had sent a note with the knife, about how much I liked the design and the availability of a 'budget' version, as the premium version was just too much for me, ...ANV sent back an Elmax version!! Got it, love it.... and ANV have a Fan for Life!! I cannot Thank ANV enough, they are a credit to the Bladesmithing Industry!!

Spelther looks like a great shaped knife. The handle, even though it’s ergonomic looks too thick and bulky in the palm and butt-end area. The compact version handle looks more nimble! Needs a Tec-Loc.

That's definitely an amazing knife. Like someone said below, I was previously looking for a Spartan Blades Difensa, but I'm now looking after this knife, after seeing it is more ergonomic, has a slightly shorter blade length, and seems to probably be an overall higher quality steel. The Topo and Camo designs both look great. Camo and all-Black both look like I'd wanna give it a beating. Topo looks almost too nice and I'd prob not want to abuse it very much.

The specs on Blade HQ list the blade length at 4.75, which is significantly smaller than the Spartan Blades in the over $400 price category. However, I like the looks and features of knife as you described. I have recently purchased the FOBOS Tier 1C, which is in the same category of combat utility blades for a similar price point. The FOBOS Tier 1C has a .25" thick 6.5" blade made of 3V steel with similar ergonomics and handle features. Elmax is certainly a premium stainless steel I'm just not sure I would take it over a tool steel for a combat utility knife. That said, great review! My curiosity in this knife company is certainly piqued.

Probably a fair price for that big chunk of Elmax, nice sheath and handle scales. And the high workmanship. The problem I have is that I’m not willing to shell out that kind of coin for a tactical knife. I’d pay that much for a nice LT Wright, Jacklore, or even a Bark River, but that would be a knife I’d use in the woods, and not tactical/fighting knife where I could “make it work” for bushcraft. And as for a survival knife? Sure as heck don’t need Elmax or that price tag for a survival knife. SRK or Strongarm would do the job all day.

For people saying that they shouldn't charge 300 or 400$ for a knife, I have to remind them, that it's exactly the same as saying that they shouldn't charge that much for a Ferrari or a Cadillac. So, before saying that again, do yourself a favor and remember, that quality costs more. I said the same when I only owned Mora knives, then I got a handforged and a TRC and I never looked back to Moras again. They now look like junk to me, no matter how good or not they are. You can't drive a Mercedes for a day and then go back to a 200$ car and call it "great" you just can't. Same goes for any kind of tools or gear in our lives...
