Original Soviet rubber training knife used in USSR military and special units during the 1970s–1980s.

This model was issued for hand-to-hand combat training in VDV airborne troops, special forces (Spetsnaz), KGB and MVD training centers, as well as in DOSAAF and military schools.

The knife replicates the size and balance of a real combat blade but is made of dense rubber for safe practice. It was used during: 

• close-quarters combat drills 

• disarming techniques 

• group tactical training 

• controlled sparring with protective gear 

• instructor demonstrations

This is an authentic training item from the late Soviet era — not a modern reproduction. The piece shows period-accurate rubber molding with a ribbed handle and a reinforced guard, typical for USSR combat-training equipment.

Perfect for collectors of Soviet military gear, VDV memorabilia, Spetsnaz training equipment, or Cold War-era combat instruction items.
