Alright .. I can find this thing only with shipping from the US ...
and in US is Trump and his stupid taxes ... That means "Good bye Mantus"
284$ shipping - no way. I'll look for an European product. Maybe a CQR...

Been there too, and decided not to buy Mantus due to the excessive shipping costs, but to rather buy a Rocna from my local supplier. The local supplier was sold out of Rocnas of my size. Eventually I found some other local supplier that were reselling Mantus anchors for a reasonable price.
The Mantus is pretty unique that it can be screwed apart and stored or shipped in a flat package, but personally I just needed a bow anchor I could trust, so for me Spade, Rocna and Mantus was pretty much the same - it all came down to the question of getting as much anchor as possible for as low price as possible.
By now I believe there are also some European anchor (perhaps in Slovenia?) manufacturers that are producing Rocna-style anchors, but I can't find back to it. The French Spade is also a magnificent anchor (always scores best in all anchor tests done by French boating magazines), but is also quite expensive.
I wouldn't buy a plow-style-anchor (CQR), unless the purpose of the anchor is to plow the seabed :-)
