ww2dbaseThe Soviet NR-40 scout knives were introduced in 1940. Each 152 millimeters long, they were most produced at the ZiK factory in Zlatoust, Russia in Central Asia. A special batch of NR-40 knives, in all black, were made in 1943 for the officers and men of the Soviet Ural Volunteer Tank Division, which would soon take on the nickname "Black Knife Division". Although NR-40 fighting knives had long since been removed from military service in Russia, the ZiK factory continued to manufacture these knives in approximate dimensions until this day.
