One of my biggest mistakes involved a Knife. It was a KGB Knife. I bought it off a Russian Street vendor in Ecuador. That is the real name for this Knife. It was a little bigger then a Kbar. The blade was spring loaded into the handle. It required applying all of my wight to load it. When you pressed a button on the handle it shot a good 15 feet accurately. It would penetrate a solid wooden door no problem. No safeties on it at all. Very heavy.
I sold the dam thing not realizing it was actually an issued Russian Knife. I later found out right before I purchased this Knife. The Russian Embassy closed down in Ecuador. A lot of the Russian residents decided to stay in Ecuador. Many of them living on the streets around Quito. I paid about ten bucks for it in 1993. Sold it for $100 thinking I would pick up another one in Ecuador.
Seems I actually did get lucky encountering this Russian selling a knife. Never could find another one. I saw one very similar with the same name in a Magazine. But it looked like a cheap copy. This one was forged from molten steel, Muscle and hammer.
Wasn't sure if it was legal or not. So we loaded it to get thru customs. To appear like a regular Knife. What we did was take it apart and remove the spring. It probably would of went thru my suitcase if it went off during flight. It was that powerful. Or imagine a customs Agent launching The KGB Assassins Knife inside Miami Airport
" Please let me go Officer, it's the truth, the guy who sold it to me, didn't mention anything about launch type capabilities"
