Cossack Sword Shashka brand new.

The blade is not sharpened.

Cold steel in the Caucasus has always been considered an obligatory attribute of a real man.

The Caucasian shashka has some similarities with both a combat knife and a saber, but still

fundamentally different from each type. Unlike the saber, the curvature of the blade of the checker is less

pronounced, but still present, but the cross on the handle is completely absent. Caucasian Cossacks and

the soldiers of the Russian regular army appreciated the edged weapons of the mountaineers. They saw

him in battle and understood that this chopping steel is quite easy to use, but very

effective. To handle the checker correctly, you only had to learn a couple of

receptions. And then, in the hands of a warrior, it turned into a powerful cutting weapon. The purpose of the checker is

offense, not defense. Most often, one strong, verified blow with this

sharp weapons and the enemy is hit "on the spot." The shashkas blade retained high flexibility,

which made it possible to withstand strong blows. Such a checker could cut well even in

dull condition. And in the field, where it was not possible to sharpen her on

special equipment, this was an undeniable advantage. Large row

design advantages of such a checker makes it truly one of the most

effective blades in history.

Attention:in the Manual of the Red Army Artillery Directorate for the operation of drafts of the1927 model, it is emphasized that cutting is not allowed on solid objects(stones, metal ammunition and horse harness).

In the barracks arrangement, the oiled pieces are stored with elongated blades 100-150 mm.During long-term storage, the checkers are densely lubricated.When returning from the exercise, the checkers are wiped dry.

When checking the curvature of the eye,slight bends that do not affect the movement of the blade in the sheath and cannot be edited can be left.
