The M41 GRIFUS was developed in collaboration with the 41st Mechanized Battalion of the Army of the Czech Republic. This knife was designed for real deployment in the field, where reliability, durability and performance are crucial. From Africa to Afghanistan, this type has proven itself in the toughest conditions – and the M41 GRIFUS was created specifically for such situations. A solid construction, secure grip and a blade that can handle any task – this is a tool you can rely on.
The M41 GRIFUS didn’t come from office theory but from the real experiences of soldiers on missions. The development was carried out directly in cooperation with members of the 41st Mechanized Battalion from Žatec, who knew exactly what they needed in the field. Every shape, curve and material has its justification. The result is a knife that combines military practicality with Czech precision and modern technology.
The heart of the M41 GRIFUS is a Bowie-type blade made from highly durable Elmax steel, hardened for maximum endurance in extreme conditions. The shape of the blade is designed for both strength and precision, whether it's chopping, slicing or working with fine details. The massive spine can handle strikes and prying, while the knife maintains stability and balance. This is not an accessory – it’s a certainty.
Every element of the M41 GRIFUS has its purpose. From the massive spine designed for strikes, to the tip capable of breaking glass and the one-piece steel construction ensuring strength and durability. Nothing here is superfluous – every detail serves performance. This philosophy makes the M41 GRIFUS a knife that won’t fail in any situation.
The micarta handle fits in the hand even in challenging weather. Its shape and surface prevent slipping and ensure a secure grip even on wet or muddy surfaces. It doesn’t cause fatigue during long-term work and maintains comfort and stability. The M41 GRIFUS is operated intuitively, exactly as the soldiers wanted – without unnecessary complications, but with absolute certainty.
The Kydex sheath with a Molle system holds the knife securely in any position. It allows for easy drawing and fast securing during movement in the field. It is designed to withstand moisture, impacts and dust, while remaining lightweight and practical. The package includes a black paracord and accessories, making the M41 GRIFUS a complete tool for any mission.
ANV Knives sets the bar high – all knives are made in the Czech Republic with an emphasis on precision, function, and durability. The M41 GRIFUS continues this tradition and adds real military experience to it. It is a tribute to Czech soldiers and all who want equipment that withstands regardless of circumstances.
