Nerpa AUS6

A civilian variant of a military combat knife in a new modification, characteristic of the entire SARO model line of knives. Since the beginning of the war with Ukraine, many Russian manufacturers have been offering their products with upgrades that may be of interest to customers mobilized for military service. SARO, which is one of the suppliers of the Ministry of Defense, did this with all knives that have been available in Russia without permits for years. Most of them have been equipped with new ABS sheaths with a MOLLE-compatible suspension system. Holes on the edges of the sheath allow you to sew them to backpacks, tactical vests, carrying systems, even when placed with the handle down. Where possible, the knives are equipped with military-style guards. In the case of Nerpa, this could not be done - a knife with such a blade thickness (4.3 mm) would immediately become a cold weapon within the meaning of Russian regulations and would require a permit. The practical elastron handles have been left unchanged, except that now instead of oval metal heads there are tang ends protruding from the handles in the form of glass breakers. The Nerpa has a leaf-shaped blade, common among Russian military knives, which ensures stabbing strength and improved cutting aggression thanks to the increased curvature of the cutting edge. The knife is released in two variants: made of AUS6 stainless steel and H12MF steel, which is the Russian analogue of D2.
