Even those who did not serve in the army should be perfectly familiar with the army belt from the times of the Soviet Union. You can see these not only in museums and films, but even in service with many modern armies of the former republics of the USSR. This is because a huge number of such belts were produced at one time. Moreover, in Russia, they began to abandon Soviet belts only in 2014, replacing them with new modern ones.

However, today we will talk about another notion of the Soviet military. So, many soldiers of a large and immense Fatherland sharpened one of the corners of a metal plate. This was done for a reason, but solely for utilitarian reasons. The sharpened side turned into a small utility knife that could be used while sewing, as well as to open canned food when going out into the field. Indeed, everything ingenious is simple! Moreover, you can sharpen the badge, if you wish, even on stone or asphalt.
