Russian folders

Post by knife7knut »

Aside from a few Mikov knives,I haven't seen any knives from Russia posted so I thought I'd toss these into the ring.Have no idea what they say(I flunked Russian).Most are cheaply made but the little ivory handled one I believe dates to pre Revolution days(1918).Anyway here they are and feel free to post any that you might own.

Don't know if this one is Russian or not but I'm guessing it's at least Eastern Europe. Horn handles, just under 4" closed and appears to be hand forged. Very hefty and solid knife with great snap and solid half-stops, steel bolsters and liners.

The bolster on the green-handle looks like a shell puller, or maybe a bottle cap opener ::shrug::
