Interesting Russian survival knife

Gotta say it's one of the better designs out there, and actually looks like useful quality stuff.

That looks to be a very nice setup!

That compartment on the outside would be good for tinder and water purification tablets. >.>

I think, though, that the weakest aspect of that knife, though, other than any bulk and the limited attachment of knife blade to grip, is in the limited size of the secondary knife, saw, and awl attachment points.  Is it just me, or do they look quite a bit smaller than preferred? :/

Nonetheless, though, it looks like a nice, well thought out piece of kit that - while still needing supplementation, is better than many I've seen.

Not bad, for a knife of THAT kind.
But a survival knife, from my point of view, is not a narrow-tang knife with hollow handle and fishhooks and cord and safety pins and matches and a useless saw on the spine... a survival knife is a thick, razor sharp, corrosion resistant, relentless and yet elegant slab of steel. And the sheath is its leather/kydex not-bulky and not-too-complex temple.

PS By the way: a bayonet??? I'd die for one of those things! They look sooooo nasty...
