The choice of the Finnish NKVD
It is important to understand the design solutions and technical characteristics
The NKVD finka, as it was, remains one of the most popular knives, and not only in our country. Today, collectors, designers, tourists, fishermen, hunters and simply connoisseurs of quality instruments are interested in this replica. The NKVD finca is a great gift for birthdays and all men's holidays. But how to choose this knife in order to purchase a truly worthy product?
Blade base
If you choose handmade NKVD Finnish women, you should know that the most important thing is steel. The metals used to produce these legendary knives differ in the following parameters:
- manufacturing method - the preferred methods are hand and machine forging, with their help they produce blades of improved quality;
- hardening - the harder the steel, the stronger it is, which means it will be less dull during active use. A good knife will have a hardness of at least 55 units;
- degree of corrosion resistance.
If a blade is purchased for a knife connoisseur who can provide proper care, you can choose traditional steel, namely carbon U10M, U8. If a Finn is used by a tourist or hunter, it is, of course, better to choose semi-stainless or completely stainless steel. Such materials contain additives, for example, manganese, chromium, vanadium.
Lever
Handmade knives this is a wide choice, but for the handles of the fins, as a rule, the following materials are used:
- hornbeam;
- beech;
- birch;
- exotic wood - zebrawood or wenge;
- elephant tusks;
- moose horn.
Each of the materials has its own characteristics and its own appearance.
