Technical specifications and design features
The RVSN officer's dirk is a knife with a unique combination of aesthetics and history, made of high—quality 65x13 steel, traditionally used in Russian knives due to the optimal balance of strength and corrosion resistance. The blade has a length of 205 mm, a width of 15 mm and a thickness of 3.5 mm, which ensures the precision and controllability of movements inherent in classic cutlasses. The hardness of 25 HRC makes the knife moderately soft by modern standards, which affects the long-term safety of the cutting edge, but ensures ease of straightening and sharpening.
The handle (material not specified) is harmoniously combined in length (102 mm) with the overall geometry of the knife and allows you to grasp the dirk confidently with one hand. The classic shape of the dirk — a straight, narrow blade, accentuated by carefully crafted plastic and brass scabbards — makes the product expressive and authentic.
Advantages and features of steel, handle and blade shape
65x13 steel is known for its good corrosion resistance due to its relatively high chromium content, which makes the blade resistant to moisture and rust even during prolonged storage in the sheath or outdoor use. This steel has the average wear resistance typical of stainless alloys, while maintaining the availability of maintenance and the necessary ductility.
The shape of the blade is a dirk historically created for performing injections and ceremonial tasks, and not for heavy household or kitchen work. The narrow and long blade allows you to control the weapon with high precision when piercing or striking symbolic blows. This uniform is ideal for collecting, ceremonial purposes and as an element of military or historical equipment.
The processing of the scabbard with brass elements emphasizes the status and belonging to the officer corps, and the durable plastic protects the blade from damage during carrying. The knife's design is traditionally designed for use with gloves, which improves grip in various weather conditions.
Scope of application: where the dirk is ideal and where its capabilities are limited
-
Ideal for:
- Collectors of weapons, military paraphernalia and connoisseurs of officer traditions
- Use as a ceremonial or ceremonial edged weapon
- A gift, a symbol of status and membership in elite military formations
- Display and storage in a collection as a historical or thematic object
-
Restrictions:
- It is not intended for heavy household, tourist or hunting work
- The shape of the blade is uncomfortable and ineffective for cutting food, planing, and cutting hard materials
- Hardness of 25 HRC implies frequent edging when trying to actively cut — the knife quickly loses its sharpness
Care recommendations
This model does not require complex maintenance: 65x13 steel does a good job with moisture, but after contact with aggressive media, it is recommended to rinse and wipe the blade dry. Sharpening is easy even in everyday conditions, due to its low hardness, which is especially convenient for collectors and owners who prefer to maintain the perfect condition of the blade. If the handle is made of metal or plastic, it does not require special care, but prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and chemically aggressive substances should be avoided.
Conclusion and recommendations
The Strategic Missile Forces officer's dirk is a striking representative of a ceremonial and collectible weapon with a historical character and recognizable style, creating an atmosphere of tradition and military honor. It should be chosen primarily by collectors, military personnel, history lovers and those who are looking for a status gift. This model is not suitable for domestic, field or kitchen applications due to its structural features and the hardness of the steel. Appreciate handmade work and attention to detail — this dirk will emphasize your individuality and respect for your military heritage.
