Shtrafbat K340
Description
Replicas of legendary historical fighting knives occupy a special place on the Russian market of knives available without licenses. Models like the NKWD finka, NRs (scouts' knives) in various modifications, or aircraft scissors with two blades are still remembered by everyone who completed military basic training in the 90s, which is still a significant part of the male population. Manufacturers deliberately turn to these forms of blades and handles, which evoke nostalgic associations with the era of the Soviet Empire, which also explains the appearance of communist symbols on the handles, which were not even placed there "before communism".
The problem with such clones lies in the fact that in order to avoid classifying the knife as a bladed weapon, which would require a license in the territory of the Russian Federation, manufacturers must either "thin out" the blades or deprive them of a guard. In Strayfcat, they chose the first option and the blade has less than 2 mm thickness. Leather scabbard with a quiet fastening. Skinned handle.
