Technical analysis and main characteristics
Blade steel — 65x13: This steel grade has proven itself well due to its combination of strength, elasticity and corrosion resistance. 65x13 is stainless steel, resistant to moisture and atmospheric factors, which means that the blade is not susceptible to rapid rust even during prolonged storage or wearing. However, the quenching level (hardness 25 HRC) of this product is quite low. This means that the blade is easy to sharpen, but it is inferior in wear resistance and sharpness to most working knives with higher hardness.
Blade and handle material and length: The length of the blade is 221 mm with a thickness of 3.5 mm and a width of 20 mm. This shape and size correspond to classic cutlasses, making the product elegant and visually presentable. The handle length of 95 mm is optimal for most palms, providing a secure grip in ceremonial, non—extreme conditions.
Handle: The material of the handle is not specified, but the usual design of ceremonial cutlasses implies the use of materials that are resistant to moisture and pleasant to the touch. The color of the handle is not specified.
The scabbard: Plastic and brass. Plastic is a lightweight and practical material, perfect for long—term storage without the risk of damage to the blade, brass elements give the product a statuesque appearance and anti-corrosion protection.
The shape of the blade is a dirk: The classic dirk has a straight, tapering blade with a symmetrical geometry. This uniform was originally created as an element of a ceremonial uniform and a symbol of an officer's status, rather than as a tool for everyday household or field tasks. The blade is perfectly balanced for ceremonial situations and ceremonial use.
Optimal applications
- It is a status, collectible and ceremonial product designed to be worn as a uniform element and for special events.
- It is suitable as a gift, a symbol of belonging to the elite of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a valuable souvenir or a collector's exhibit.
- Symbolic, decorative function is the highest priority.
Hand hold and ergonomics
The dirk fits well in the palm of your hand due to the classic shape of the handle and its balanced length. In ceremonial, dry conditions, it is easy and reliable to operate, but it is worth remembering: the handle is not designed for extremely active, utilitarian use.
Resistance to moisture, corrosion and wear resistance
- 65x13 steel is highly resistant to moisture and corrosion — the blade will retain its presentable appearance even during long-term storage without special treatment.
- The hardness of 25 HRC means that the knife is less resistant to wear and quickly loses its sharpness when used intensively as a cutting tool.
- The scabbard provides additional protection from external factors, and the brass elements are not susceptible to rust.
Ease of maintenance and maintenance
Due to its low hardness, the blade can be easily and effortlessly sharpened with conventional sharpening tools. It is not demanding in care: it is enough to wipe it after use and store it in a dry place, avoiding prolonged contact with acidic substances or abrasives. The handle does not need special attention if it is made of traditional materials for such products .
Limitations and inappropriate uses
-
It is not intended for field work, hunting, tourism, cooking, due to the design and strength of the blade.
- It is not suitable for tasks requiring long-term maintenance of high cutting edge sharpness, as well as for heavy work (cutting hard materials, planing, cutting game).
- Due to its shape and hardness, the blade is inferior to specialized working knives in terms of wear resistance and reliability during intensive use.
Conclusion and recommendations
The dagger of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the choice of those who value status, traditions and historical heritage, as well as the aesthetics of handmade and collectible value of the product. It is ideal for ceremonial wear, ceremonial purposes and to add to the collection of weapon accessories. This knife is not intended for practical, utilitarian use or active tourism. Standard care measures are sufficient – regular wiping and storage in dry conditions. A wonderful gift for an officer, a collector or a connoisseur of the symbols of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
