What kind of knives can I buy, sell and wear without any possible punishment for this? The question that should arise before the desire to purchase a knife or other cutting, stabbing, chopping item. Let's look at the issue in terms of laws
Knives and law
Knives that do not have an edge or are located more than 5 mm above the butt line are not legally recognized as knives. At the same time, a blade is an important factor, or rather its parameters, which should not exceed 9 cm in length, 6 mm in thickness. The blade of the latter is not sharpened or is completely absent.
Subtleties
When buying, pay attention to the handle. It has one nuance that translates a knife from the category of knives, which brings you under the article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, to the category of a harmless knife. Remember: if there are even the slightest flaws in the handle, or, for example, its dimensions are too small, and vice versa too large, then such a knife falls out of the category of cold steel due to the fact that it is not convenient to hold it in hand during a battle, therefore, it is more difficult to inflict wounds on an adversary.
Many do not understand what the criterion "knife does not have a tip" means. Like this? Remember the options where it is replaced with something that looks like a screwdriver or chisel. This is what we are talking about. As an example, I can cite the Pirat HK5696 knife, the tip of which is specially made in the form of a screwdriver, or Katran-1. In theory, they could be attributed to “knives for survival”, but only by this one of the above-mentioned signs, they become just household goods.
I personally know collectors who collect knives. And, perhaps, to the surprise of many, I will say that some of the well-known brands are not cold steel, although they are considered such. For example, a blade in the style of "Tanto". The Vityaz-Cayman and Sapsan are not cold either.
