KO-2 elastron

This double-edged dagger, manufactured by Kizlyar, features a rubber handle. The blade is made of AUS-8 steel, hardened to 57-58 HRC. The KO-2 has two symmetrical cutting edges, meaning it is double-edged. According to Russian regulations, this feature, along with blade thickness (the KO-2's is 4.9 mm) and the presence of a full guard, is one of the key characteristics that classify a knife as a cold weapon. Consequently, the KO-2 holds the status of a combat knife in Russia and is available only to military personnel, hunters, and officers of law enforcement agencies. This is confirmed by the serial number placed on the blade below the guard. Upon purchase, this number is recorded in the owner's military service record or service ID. The blade also features the manufacturer's hologram and the inscription "Кизляр сделано в России" (Kizlyar made in Russia), while the reverse side shows "KO-2" and the manufacturer's logo. The knife comes with a leather sheath that includes a plastic insert and a silent snap closure.

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the Russian Federation has banned the export of numbered (i.e., combat) knives. Therefore, once our current stock is sold out, these items will become completely unavailable for some time.

The Kizlyar company from Dagestan is one of several Russian knife manufacturers widely known outside of Russia. Kizlyar prides itself on combining the ancient traditions of Caucasian craftsmen specializing in cold weapons with modern production technologies.
