The **ANV M500 Anthropoid** is a cool dagger knife, based on the famous Fairbairn Sykes design. This model was instrumental during the Second World War. The name of this knife therefore also refers to an important event in Prague, Czech Republic, in 1941-1942.
The name ‘Anthropoid’ means *ape*. It was also the name of Operation Anthropoid. A very dangerous operation that was aimed at killing member of the SS Reinhard Heydrich in Prague. An operation that was carried out by two Czech paratroopers: Jan Kubiš and Jozef Gabcík. In cooperation with the RAF. This adaption of the famous British Fairbairn Sykes knife, made by this Czech company is therefore very appropriate.
The pointed blade is enhanced with a groove, fuller, in the middle. The knife guard ensures that your hand won’t end up on the blade. At the end of the handle you will find a very sharp tip.
The blade is made from Elmax steel. A high-end type of steel that retains its sharpness well. It is also corrosion resistant. ANV used a very sustainable DLC coating for this edition. It is matt, so the blade hardly reflects.
The handle is made from G10. A strong material that offers enough grip, perfect for handles. ANV added subtle grooves to the surface of the handle for even more grip.
The ANV Knives M500 comes with a sleek kydex sheath. It is enhanced with two MOLLE clips to make sure you can hang it from a MOLLE or PALS compatible bag or vest. You also use these clips when you carry it on your belt.
