Russ-3

A hunting knife produced by the Zlatoust company, made of 95x18 steel. The blade features an arcuately curved spine, which first slopes towards the cutting edge and then rises towards the tip, positioning it slightly above the handle line. The cutting edge is wave-shaped with a distinctly marked belly. It has a partial hollow grind. The entire length of the spine (except for a 2-centimeter unsharpened section for a finger rest below the handle) is ground to a false edge. The handle is made of leather rings strung on a metal tang, finished on both ends with pieces of textolite – forming the guard and pommel. The pommel has a hole for attaching a lanyard or wrist loop. Below the handle, there is a laser-engraved inscription: "Росоружие Златоуст" and the manufacturer's logo. The steel grade marking is visible just below the handle: 95x18. The sheath is made of smooth, black leather with the manufacturer's logo and the inscription Златоуст embossed on it.

The Zlatoust company is one of several Russian knife manufacturers widely known outside of Russia. It prides itself on a centuries-old tradition in the production of bladed weapons. The gilding, in which the Ural-based Zlatoust is the undisputed leader among Russian companies, looks exceptionally good on dark damascus steel blades.
