Detailed analysis of the characteristics and features of the knife
Blade steel: 65X13
This dirk is made of 65X13 stainless steel, a well—known domestic alloy that is valued for its excellent corrosion resistance and balanced strength. Due to its high chromium content, the steel easily tolerates wet operating conditions, does not require complex maintenance and is resistant to rust. This choice of steel makes the knife especially practical for regular carrying and storage, and also guarantees excellent appearance preservation even with minimal maintenance.
Blade hardness: 25 HRC
This hardness level indicates that the dirk has a fairly soft blade that is easy to sharpen, but is not designed for heavy, heavy-duty work such as chopping hard materials or planing wood. Mild steel is typical for executive and ceremonial knives designed to be worn as a status symbol.
Blade shape: dirk
The blade of the cutlass type has a double-edged, symmetrical shape and is sharpened on both sides. This geometry has historically been used for stabbing and cutting, providing excellent penetration. The length of the blade is 221 mm and the thickness is 3.5 mm. It creates an elegant but rather impressive silhouette, corresponding to the ceremonial traditions of the airborne troops. This uniform is ideal for ceremonial use, formations, awards, and collecting.
Handle material
Data on the material of the handle is not provided, however, standard models of general dirks are usually equipped with a handle made of plastic, wood, or a combination of modern materials and metal for durability and presentable appearance. The ergonomics of the handle is designed for a secure grip in a calm environment; in conditions of moisture and extreme use, grip may decrease, since aesthetics and compliance with traditions are the priority here, rather than tactical reliability.
Scabbard: plastic, brass
Durable plastic sheath with brass elements emphasize the status of the product, provide a good level of protection of the blade from external influences and a stylish appearance. Brass ornaments on the scabbard make the dirk expressive and collectible.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
- Optimal application: The dirk is recommended for ceremonial wear, ceremonial events, as a souvenir and in weapon collections. Its historical value and statuesque appearance make it an ideal choice for officers, airborne veterans, government employees, collectors, as well as for gifts.
- Advantages:
- High corrosion resistance of 65X13 steel — it is not afraid of humidity and retains its shine without frequent processing.
- Easy sharpening and maintenance due to the softness of the blade.
- Expressive status design, historical silhouette with original symbols.
- Collectible and souvenir value, highlighted by high-quality materials and handmade work.
- Restrictions:
-
It is not intended for household, hunting and tactical tasks, it does not withstand power loads and contact work with solid materials.
- Mild steel blunts quickly under high load and requires regular straightening after even minor use on hard surfaces.
- There is no data on the specific anti—slip properties of the handle - when used in wet conditions or with wet hands, the grip reliability will be lower than that of functional knives.
Care and maintenance
- Thanks to the stainless steel 65X13, the dirk does not require special corrosion protection measures. It is enough to wipe it with a dry cloth after contact with moisture and store it in its sheath.
- In case of scuffs on the brass parts, light polishing is recommended.
- Avoid contact with hard materials so as not to deform or dull the cutting edge.
- Blade edging is possible with the help of conventional sharpening accessories with minimal effort.
A brief recommendation
This product was created for those who appreciate military traditions, status and aesthetics: for Airborne Forces officers, collectors, as a memorable gift at the state level. The dirk is not suitable for practical use in everyday life, tourism or hunting, but it carries a historical continuity of service, a personal badge of distinction and excellent quality of execution.
