Kisten (gilded pattern welded damascus)

A Zlatoust-made knife, forged from so-called pattern welded damascus steel. Zlatoust damascus steel is distinguished by its high quality and exceptional aesthetics. The "Kishen" is styled as a combat knife, with a guard typical of Russian combat knives. The handle is made of plastic and finished with a guard on one side and a duralumin head on the other. The head has a hole for attaching a lanyard or wrist strap. A beautiful blade with a wave-shaped blade line, a fuller on the ricasso, a symmetrical grind and a spear point. On one side of the blade is a gold-plated design using galvanic method. On the other side, under the handle, there is a gold-plated inscription: "Росоружие Златоуст" and the manufacturer's logo. Sheath made of Kydex allowing the knife to be carried in any position, including handle down.

Zlatooust is one of several Russian knife manufacturers widely known outside of Russia. It boasts a several-hundred-year-old tradition in the production of edged weapons.
