    Default Soviet fighting-knife of WWII "NR 40"

    Hi !

    Here I wanna show you a soviet-russian fighting-knife of WWII, known as „NR 40“ (nozh razvedchika).

    translated: scout, or: reconnaisance-knife

    This type of fighting-knife was introduced in 1940, so they named it "NR40".

    This knife was manufactured by "ZIK" (Zlatoustovskij Instrumentalnij Kombinat).

    The Soviet´s used this fighting-knife in Recon and Para-unit´s.

    If there´s anybody here could show pictures of this knife "in action", I´d really appreciate that !


    Thx,

    R.

    Thanks for showing it, very nice.

    I had not heard of the post war Polish version before. That is a very handsome knife.

    Cheers, Ade.

    Yes, in 1991 I saw this knife the first time for myself, as polish comrades gave me some knive´s while my duty at the Golan Hight´s in Syria.

    This knife was manufactured quite a while.

    These knives are pretty rare. The subject of the thread is a nice example, but for general information, the belt hanger has been replaced on the scabbard.

    Hi, Wes !

    Thx for answering !

    You know, that there´re also leather belt hangers, not only webbing one´s ?

    In the www. I saw some pic´s with the same hanger like the hanger, mounted on my knife.

    But, who cares ...

    I like this knife !

    There´re also green painted knive´s !


    Cheer´s,

    R.

    The fact that your hanger is not web was not the cause of my reply. The hanger on your knife does not appear to be of an original type, but a replacement.

    Typically these are in a black, very thin, low grade leather. Typically attached to the belt hanger is a second leather strap across the handle with a metal retaining stud to close it. (much like the one on a "cavalry" version of a K98k bayonet frog.

    Correct, there are green knives. Web belt hangers are new to me. I have never seen one like that.
