Russian nkvd fink swinguard

Post by LOTFK »

One of my most popular YouTube channel knives. Russian NKVD FINK swinguard. Got this guy and a few others right out of Russia just before the conflict began. No longer with me and everybody wants one lol here's a link to the video on YouTube. Even my screenshots are too large to upload

They are still on sale domestically, with the price ranging from 100 to 170 USD. But Chinese finka clones took over the market

Hi, I can only check avito/meshok/yula and other Russian local variations of craigslist, they don't sell abroad unless you negotiate with the seller.
You are right, most of them are non automatic, but the price is low, so people don't buy local production. Here is what I've found today. I made screenshots with prices, divide them by 90 to get price in USD.

Automatics (I'll buy the last one to compare with original, which I bought last year (posted it here)

All the photos shown EXCEPT the last one are not the Fink swim swinguard switchblade model shown in my video. FYI to everyone. First group of 3 images are knockoff AKC ROMA style swingers in fact
