Description
A double-edged combat dagger with a leaf-shaped blade. Just one glance makes it clear that this is a knife designed for combat, specifically for thrusting.

In Russia, the Cerber has the status of a combat knife and is available only to military personnel, hunters, and officers of law enforcement agencies, as indicated by the serial number located on the blade below the crossguard. Upon purchase, this number is recorded in the owner's military service record book or service ID. The blade also features the manufacturer's hologram and the inscription "Кизляр сделано в России" (Kizlyar made in Russia), and on the other side, "Цербер" (Cerberus) and the manufacturer's logo. The sheath is made of leather with a plastic insert and a silent snap closure.
