Someone will say: there are no perfect knives. However, at the same time, everyone will agree that there is nothing worse than staying in a situation where you don’t have any cutting tool at all, and you need it. However, today we will focus on just such a tool, which is actually completely devoid of any drawbacks. In any case, in contact with nature trips for the purpose of fishing, hunting or gathering.
Meet the real "echo of war" in a modern version - the HP-18 knife. From the point of view of GOST, this tool is not a melee weapon, but belongs to the category of tourist knives. Living Soviet legend, leading its pedigree about the very army "Scout Knives" of the early 1940s. Today anyone can get one, and for this it is not even necessary to look for a familiar warrant officer at a military base in one of the Warsaw Pact republics. As a joke, of course, never do that.
Today, HP-18 knives are produced in Russia in the city of Kizlyar, the Republic of Dagestan. The total tool length is 279 mm. The blade length is 141 mm. AUS-8 steel with a hardness index of 57-59 on the Rockwell scale is used as a material for the blade. Stone Washed is used to treat the coating. The knife cover is made of plastic. Butt thickness is 4.8 mm. The knife has a convenient stop and an ergonomic handle.
The main feature of the HP-18 is, of course, the thickness of the butt. Many will say that the butt of the knife is too thick, in fact, like a checker. However, it should be understood that HP-18, unlike most tourist knives, almost never breaks. This means that they can perform even the most "extreme", if not even barbaric (in relation to the knife) actions. Achieved high reliability, including fracture, not without the help of high-quality steel. At the same time, the knife is by no means turned into some kind of blunt crowbar: the angle of the factory sharpening of the blade is minimal.
