Original Soviet folding knife “Металіст” (Metalist) produced by the Kharkiv factory in the 1960s — an authentic example of early USSR everyday utility knives. This vintage Soviet pocket knife reflects the simple and functional industrial design typical of mid-century Soviet manufacturing.

The knife features a classic slipjoint construction with stainless steel blade and traditional handle scales. Metalist factory knives from Kharkiv are increasingly collectible, especially earlier 1960s examples. A solid piece for collectors of Soviet tools, industrial memorabilia, or vintage EDC items.
