Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: 65X13
This dirk is made of high-alloy, corrosion-resistant 65X13 steel, which has made a name for itself in the Russian knife industry due to its excellent combination of strength and resistance to aggressive environments. 65X13 provides decent corrosion resistance even when used in marine climates where the effects of moisture and salt are maximum. However, the hardness level of this blade (25 HRC) is uncharacteristically low for working knives.: this means that the blade is closer in its performance characteristics to a souvenir or ceremonial weapon than to a tool for active cutting — the edge quickly freezes, the cutting edge is developed in just a few minutes of physical work.
Blade Shape: Dirk
The dirk has a pronounced rectilinear, narrow and pointed shape with a developed butt. This design has historically been used primarily as a status symbol rather than as a practical tool. The sharp tip allows you to perform pinpricks, and the long and slender blade gives the dirk a special elegance and grandeur. The dirk is not structurally suitable for heavy, power tasks or long-term cutting.
Handle material
Information about the handle material is not specified. This limits the assessment of ergonomics and moisture resistance of the handle, but the standard for ceremonial cutlasses are often materials using brass or plastic elements, as in the design of the scabbard. Usually, such handles fit well in the hand when worn on parade, but they are not designed for a long grip in a wet or slippery environment.
Corrosion resistance
65X13 is one of the most popular steels for knives used in humid environments and is known for its excellent corrosion resistance.
Wear resistance and durability
With a hardness of HRC 25, the dirk is not afraid of accidental impacts on hard objects and has a high viscosity (that is, it is easy to damage, but also not brittle), but it quickly loses its sharpness.
Easy maintenance
Blades with low hardness are very easy to sharpen, but such sharpening is required much more often than with harder alloys. Care is reduced to maintaining cleanliness and drying after use, however, when used outside of ceremonial purposes, the knife quickly loses its functional properties.
Dimensions
The blade length is 221 mm, thickness 3.5 mm, width 20 mm — these are classic parameters for a ceremonial dirk: the proportions are slender, the handle (95 mm) is designed for an average male palm, which is convenient for a single demonstration grip.
Scope of the dirk
- Ceremonial, status, souvenir weapons for collectors, military, sailors, and marine enthusiasts.
- An accessory for uniforms, ceremonial paraphernalia.
- Emphasizes the status of the owner due to the historical connection with naval officers and admirals.
- For tourist, hunting, household and household tasks.
- For long—term power work, cutting, and opening packages, the blade quickly blunts and may deform.
- For cutting hard materials, the geometry of the blade and the hardness of the steel do not allow this.
Unique features and advantages
- The embodiment of historical heritage: the shape and appearance of the dirk bear the features of the legendary weapons of Russian naval officers, symbolizing valor, honor and belonging to the elite of the fleet.
- Absolute corrosion resistance due to 65X13 steel.
- Transportation safety — durable plastic sheath with brass elements is provided.
- Ease of sharpening: even if it is necessary to restore sharpness, it will not take more than a minute, but it is important to remember that sharpening will have to be performed frequently with any minimal use.
- Handmade work ensures the individuality of each piece, emphasizing aesthetics and status.
Care recommendations
- Keep the knife clean, avoid prolonged contact with harsh chemicals.
- After contact with moisture, wipe the dirk dry enough to maintain its perfect condition.
- Use a soft cloth to preserve the gloss and details of the handle.
- It is recommended to periodically inspect the scabbard and brass elements for mechanical damage.
Final recommendation
This dirk is an ideal purchase for collectors, military personnel, sailors and anyone who appreciates the historical heritage of the Russian Navy, aesthetics and ceremonial status. It is perfect for wearing on uniforms, ceremonies and storage in a collection, but it is not intended for active work or household use. If a unique look, historical authenticity and status are important to you, as well as ease of care, this dirk will become a real gem of your collection.
