Hi Allan,
I can't help with the translation but it does look like cyrillic to me. I believe the knife is an Uzbec pichok. Sincerely, RobT |

True enough: Pichok.
Inscriptions: "nerzh" abbreviation of "nerzhaveyushchaya", ie stainless 9 p 50 k: price; 9 rubles 50 kopecks Chust: just Chust, a town. Also there are 2 monogrammed letters, likely name of the factory. Made after 1991, after Uzbekistan's becoming independent. After that, their new currency is called "sum" |
