LoL Ya now that I have had time to play around with the blade, I love it! The action has become so smooth after I cleaned it out and added ballistol. It closes with one hand no problem now, such an awesome blade. Will make a video about the action real soon :)

I believe this is not made at home or in any prison.
But it looks old. It appears to be from an era when "Stiletto" knifes were commonly used for fast deployment. The Stiletto knife usually has a blade shape like this and is primarily used for stabbing like a dagger. They had their fair share in world war II and were made by many military suppliers and countries. Usually Stilettos would not have exposed springs like this knife has and they have a slim profile. It looks like it was made for the Military.
Trough it's construction it would withstand more use as a regular stiletto.
The star could stand for the "Red star" and the "R" maybe stands for Russia... :)

Just some thoughts... take care :) !
