Picked this up as part of a job lot, looks its like celebrating the vostok space rockets, stamped BOCTOK so presumably for home consumption. Any comrades out there?

Can you even measure a Russian knife with an American ruler

Isn't there supposed to be some kind of conversion or something like that

On the "other" forum(Blade Forums)there is someone with the name ,"makandr"(I think) that posts a lot of Russian knives.Do a search and maybe you can hook up with him via e-mail or PM. I have several Russian knives(one late 19th century)and have always wondered what they said on them.

Down with imperialist running dog lacky's?

I joined the "other" forum, don't know if its just me or dumb luck but every thread I look at on theirs has got folks (mainly dealers) bitching about each other. Not been a member on here for long but I can't praise the site or the members high enough, everybody real friendly and helpful
