V. Krasnikov gravity otf and other stuff

Post by last_vegas »

Hello, my fellow switchblade enthusiasts. Due to the fragmentation of the Internet and the blocking of websites and VPN services, I haven't been here for a long time. And 2025 wasn't very knife year, but I still have a few new knives I want to share with you. Enjoy!
Fist one is gravity otf by Viktor Krasnikov, very robust an simple knife with almost none blade play. Got it at the spring knife show. Viktor usually walks around the show with a wooden board and offers everyone to test the knife

Two are from India, I believe. I think the biggest one is from Rampur, but not sure about the other one. The guy who sold it told that he bought 20+ years ago in Ryzan, about 200km from Moscow and believed it was locally made, but I have doubts

And the last one for today I know nothing about, the spring is broken, a long time ago, and I'm thinking to buy it or not. Any thoughts about the origin? India as well? Didn't find any info

Last Vegas, your last knife posted looks like a cousin to one I have. I tried to find out more but details are evasive. Some people had images of knives identical to mine but with a stamp that looks a lot like the one on yours. Indian or possibly Iranian seems to be the consensus. While the knife I have was certainly used, it's a tough little bugger!

All interesting knives, that unfortunately, I know nothing about. Cool seeing some different knives.

QGofLake, thank you! Interesting knife you have, thanks for sharing it. Mine is less tough, I'll buy it and post other photos later. It's a pity we don't have our local master Bill to repair it properly:(

Here are 3 knives you all already know about - bullfighters, but with a twist. The one from the left is knockoff from Afghanistan/Pakistan, I believe. The guy I bought it from told that his father served in Afghanistan during the USSR/Afghan war and got it there

Love those bullfighter knives, particularly the one picked up in Afghanistan. Awesome story behind it and can picture someone in the Mujahedeen carrying it.
