Finka NKVD | Rosarms

The review by Zafiris Kounalis is a total lie and disinformation. Probably a paid Ukrainian agent. He has no idea what he's talking about. Finka NKVD is NOT a kitchen knife, not an "outdoor" knife or a utility knife. It sure can be used for those purposes but that's not what it was designed for. What is it for? It's for self defense, undercover agents (NKVD) and assassins. That's why it's slender, thin but very strong. Some are made out of Russian Bulat steel as well as powder steels. It's made for penetrating clothes, leather jackets and bullet proof vests with ease due to it's sharp point and thin blade. Notice that it has a cross guard that prevents the hand from slipping once there is blood on the handle. Nobody is going advertise it as a weapon but that is what it's for - made to kill.

While it is aesthetically pleasing to look at and hold, not all details are disclosed about this knife.
In order to circumvent being labelled as a weapon, the blade thickness of the knife is only 2,5 mm.That's about as thick an ordinary kitchen knife.
That means it is NOT 'a very practical knife for all outdoor activities' as advertised, since you cannot do heavy work, like baton wood for a campfire, or carve wood tinder shavings for example.
Cutting thick rope (like manilla) must also be troublesome with such a thin blade. And certainly don't try to pry even the smallest things, because it will most likely break.
I will not mention how poorly it must perform as a tactical knife.
Maybe food preparation must be its strong side, if you are 100% committed to buy

Elegant and very sharp knife of good quality. I love everything about it.

This is a very nicely made knife. It came relatively sharp and was eager to become very sharp. It's far too nice to use for anything, but it's a pleasure to hold.

Recently I ordered the NKVD knife. It arrived fast and the quality exceeded my expectations. A great product I would certainly order from this company again.
