Nice replica of the Russian explorer knife NR (nozh razvédchika) model 1940, regulatory combat knife of the Soviet special troops (and several countries of the Warsaw Pact between 1940 and 1960. Based on traditional Finnish knives, in the first half of the 20th century the knives of several cities began to modify the tool of the humble Finnish farmer and lumberjack, the puukko, lengthening the blade and lowering the tip. They also added a large wavy guard. The Red Army's interest in combat knives arose during the so-called Winter War against Finland in 1939–1940. This war revealed that the infantry lacked a good combat knife. Although this knife was regulatory for commandos, military scouts and special units, throughout the war it became commonly used for all weapons. Shipping exclusively by ground transport.
