Russian HO-8 fixed blade knife made by the Kalashnikov Concern (Izhmash) in Russia. This knife is part of the “Household Knife” series produced in Zlatoust, a region well known for high-quality Russian blades.
The knife features a single-edge stainless steel blade, stamped HO-8, with the classic Izhmash/Kalashnikov factory mark. The handle appears to be birch wood wrapped with leather strips and brass accents, giving it a traditional Russian hunting knife look and comfortable grip.
Includes the original leather sheath embossed with the “Arms of Russia” / Zlatoust marking as well as the acceptance certificate and paperwork shown in the photos.
These knives are classified in Russia as “household knives,” meaning they were legally sold as civilian knives rather than military weapons, but they are still well-made and collectible.
