Signs of edged weapons, we understand in detail the legislation of the Russian Federation

Signs of a bladed weapon are a blade larger than 9 cm, a handle from 7 cm, a spine thickness of 2.5-6 mm, steel hardness from 42 HRC, a type of handle with protection from injury, a sharpened blade, a point up to 70 degrees.

Hunting, military, and sports products may fall under this category. And not only knives, but also daggers, stilettos, dirks, axes. Then the owner will need permission to carry, as will those for whom such a weapon is part of the national costume or a reward for service.

A little history - knives in the USSR

The attitude towards knives in the Soviet Union was extremely negative. The products sold were meager in their characteristics and belonged to edged weapons. The purchase of such blades was permitted only with a hunting license.

The knife market itself was quite meager and primitive. Legislative norms played an important role. Illegal acquisition and possession of bladed weapons was punishable by the criminal code. The use of a product, even if it was not a chemical weapon, for the purpose of self-defense, led to condemnation.

Of course, the criminal world ignored these laws. The legality of wearing the product was of little concern to the criminal who was about to commit a robbery or murder. Often, household knives acted and continue to act as tools for murder.

An awl or a screwdriver can become the same tool for committing a crime. Potential victims did not benefit from the strict ban on edged weapons. The lack of quality products on sale has led to an increase in the number of handicraft knives.

You could also get a prison term for production. Among such products there were some noteworthy specimens. But of course they cannot compare with today's factory products.

What knives are not considered bladed weapons by law?

Follow the letter of the law!
Russian legislation clearly describes the characteristics of edged weapons. If according to one of the signs the blade is not a chemical weapon, then there will be no problems with the law. But as soon as you use the blade as a means of self-defense, the situation can change dramatically.

This article will not discuss the topic of self-defense.

Let's talk better about carrying the product with you and how to do it correctly.

In the 90s, carrying products with them completely changed people's consciousness. Any blade, even with a small blade, evoked associations with banditry.

In the old days, every criminal element carried a knife with him. This greatly distorts reality. The presence of a blade still causes negative emotions among others. A person who has a knife with him should not be perceived negatively; he is not necessarily a murderer.

Signs of edged weapons and parameters

Considering all the physical parameters of a knife together, we can draw a conclusion about its relationship to edged weapons. The length of the blade, the thickness of the spine, the quality of the steel, and the features of the handle play a role here. These parameters are specified in GOST.

And also in federal law. The requirements apply to all products, even handicrafts. There are 5 main signs of edged weapons:

• blade length more than 9 cm;
• the thickness of the butt ranges from 2.5 to 6 mm;
• steel hardness from 25 HRC;
• one notch for a finger or guard should not exceed 5 mm;
• sharpened blade.

To recognize a knife as a household item, at least one of the above conditions must be met. But in some cases, edged weapons can only be identified after an examination. And during its implementation, the moment of sharpening the blade is considered very controversial.

After all, it can be recognized as such if it only cuts paper. The most important point is the characteristics of the blade. A knife does not fit the definition of a bladed weapon if:

• piercing is problematic when the tip is raised above the butt line by more than 5 mm;
• There is a rounded tip, which is intended for performing household work. It is impossible for them to stab; such a blade is not recognized as a bladed weapon;
• a hook is located at a distance of 1/3 of the length of the blade from the tip. This design is found in fishing products;
• anatomical handle with cutouts for fingers, their depth should be no more than 4 mm;
• the butt has a deflection of 5 mm, and its length is up to 180 mm. Or the first indicator is 10 mm, and the second is from 180 mm. It is difficult to deliver a piercing blow with such a knife;
• a sawn blade removes it from the group of edged weapons;
• a plastic, aluminum or wooden knife is not a chemical weapon;
• the line of the blade and butt form an angle of more than 70 degrees. It is also quite difficult to stab;
• Butterfly knives are very difficult to define, but the only thing that can be said for sure is that the diameter of the barrel-shaped handle at the top should be no more than 8 mm;
• it is impossible to strike with a knife if the handle is bent upward by more than 15 mm;
• the limiter at the blade or the recess for the fingers should not exceed 5mm;
• a blade that does not hold well in the handle and does not hold during movements automatically excludes the product from the chemical weapons category;
• bending of the butt blade towards the inside in the form of a rocker arm. When drawing a straight line from the tip to the top point of the handle, it must be more than 15 mm;
• it is allowed to use a special sharpening of the butt, in the form of a serrator or saw;
• The handle size is less than 70 mm, and there is no recess up to 4 mm deep, as well as a stopper. Such a product poses more danger to a person who wants to strike.

Knife parts.

All listed permits or restrictions are considered basic in accordance with GOSTs. According to which, the product is removed from the chemical weapons category. Listed below are three GOSTs that define the main characteristics:

• P51644-2000 “Cutting and skinning knives”;
• P51501-99 “Tourist and special sports knives”;
• R51215-98 “Melee weapons. Terms and Definitions".

Rules for storing firearms

According to regulatory federal law No. 150, it is unacceptable to keep service firearms and civilian weapons in the public domain. It is necessary to purchase a special metal storage unit. May be kept together with ammunition. The second rule is that it must be kept in accordance with the place of registration indicated in the license.

Common myths:

• fastening the storage to the floor, wall;
• separate storage of ammunition;
• the need to collect, charge;

• alarm required;
• window grilles need to be installed;
• An electronic lock must be installed.

The list is easy to continue. Similar myths gave rise to legislative changes of the last century. Storage relocation is now allowed. The action should be coordinated in advance with the district or local branch of the Russian Guard or the National Guard.

What knives are prohibited in Russia

Whether a topic is allowed or prohibited is a very fine line, which is calculated in millimeters. There are products that even an ordinary person can tell is a murder weapon. And there are knives where it is very difficult to determine whether it belongs to chemical weapons. In Russia there is a list of products prohibited for free sale:

1. A weapon of criminal elements from the 90s, a butterfly knife. For a long time, experts could not come to a consensus on which category to classify this product into. It was decided to ban knives and blades whose blades extend due to gravity or accelerated movement. And due to this they are fixed. But the restriction only applies to knives with a blade larger than 90 mm.
2. Dagger-type knives are considered edged weapons in the Russian Federation. But there are small nuances. The law does not prohibit products with a cutting edge on one side and if the false blade is sharpened by 1/3 on the other. But further sharpening is prohibited, even with a serrator. Such knives are permitted for hunting and commercial use.
3. Interesting knives related to edged weapons are stilettos. In appearance they are piercing products. And they do not have a cutting edge. To stay within the law, you can sharpen one side of the blade, but its length should not exceed 150 mm. Special restraints are made on knives to remain legal.
4. The legislation of the Russian Federation does not like various mechanics. Flip and front-facing products with a blade length of more than 90 mm immediately fall into the cold category. It’s difficult to say why exactly this is so, most likely it is due to the same principles as with butterflies.

Expert opinion

Konstantin

Since childhood, I have been interested in knives and everything connected with them. I bring the accumulated knowledge to the masses. I make knives myself. I take criticism positively, but I also like to argue.

Legislation differs in different countries. The import and export of products must be regulated. If you are trying to smuggle knives into a country, then study the legislation of that state. And in Russia, try to purchase products from official representatives with a set of documents.

Products made in Russia are all accompanied by certificates and rules of use. In real life, it is better to have documents with you, this will simplify the inspection procedure by law enforcement officers. If you are making knives yourself, be careful, otherwise you can sew on making knives.

Combined weapons.

How to wear and store correctly

Russian legislation does not regulate the carrying of a knife. But there are places where it is better not to take a knife with you. Nobody legally prohibits you from taking a knife with you to crowded places, concerts or sporting events.

But there are certain norms in such places. You must use common sense or you may not be allowed through by security. Leave the product at home or in the car. And if you manage to attend such an event, don’t flash your knife again.

There is no need to attract unnecessary attention to yourself. And it looks too provocative, which may attract the attention of law enforcement officers. If you hide a knife in your sleeve or behind your back when an unpleasant situation arises, you may be accused of being secretive.

Do you have permission to carry and store bladed weapons?

Not really

It’s easier not to hide the product and hang it on your belt, covering it with a piece of clothing. Traveling by air can have its own difficulties. You will need to present documents for the product and place it in your luggage.

There should not be even small objects of a piercing or cutting nature in the aircraft cabin. If there are no documents, the product may be confiscated and placed in temporary storage. And only when you return and present all the necessary documents, the knife will be returned to you.

But unfortunately, everyone knows how such services work for us. The knife may get lost, don’t take unnecessary risks, carry the documents with you. There will be no problems with sea transport. It is not recommended to display the product in any situation; behave more modestly and everything will be fine.

Differences between household knives and edged weapons

According to the principle of purpose, knives are divided into household knives and edged weapons. The latter are structurally designed to defeat a person using muscular force. Household weapons are not structurally designed to hit a target.

But in the hands of a criminal element, such a product can become a murder weapon. But in this case we are talking about the design of the product itself. It was not originally intended for such purposes. In accordance with GOST, knives are not considered cold steel under the following parameters:

1. Blade less than 90 mm long.
2. Rounded tip tip. With such a knife it is impossible to stab.
3. Products with a handle less than 7 cm.
4. With a tip that is 5 mm above the butt.
5. Products with a blade 5 mm lower than the butt when its length is 18 cm, and also 10 mm lower when its length is more than 18 cm.
6. The presence of a hook on the butt.
7. Items whose blade is not sharpened.
8. The thickness should not exceed 2.5 mm.
9. Steel is not hard enough.

To avoid problems with the law, you need to know the parameters of your blade. Please note that sometimes legislation changes. The above parameters clearly indicate the differences between a simple knife and a bladed weapon.

Cold knife knives.

How to buy correctly

A bladed weapon is any product related to the hunting, sports or military sphere. At the same time, their action is in no way related to energy carriers and explosives, however, when used, these products can cause a serious injury to a person or cause death.

Article 1 of Federal Law 150 gives a slightly different definition. Thus, the law establishes that edged weapons are a product used to hit a target in close contact with it using muscular force (physical impact).

This type of weapon includes a variety of knives, daggers, sabers and brass knuckles, stilettos and much more. At the same time, the law does not include various household and household appliances, in particular kitchen, garden and pocket knives, in the category of edged weapons.

In accordance with Russian legal principles, edged weapons have the following characteristic features:

• you need special limiters (without them it is difficult to plunge the knife into the target deeply enough and safely for the person wielding it);
• the blade length is over 9 centimeters, it is from this size that the knife can begin to be considered a real weapon; ⇐
• blade thickness – from 0.24 cm;
• the angle of contact of the blade with the butt is less than 70 degrees;
• bending deviation – 0.9 cm;
• characteristics of the minimum hardness of the metal (steel) – 25 Rockwell;
• the depth of penetration of the blade when hitting a target is more than 2 cm. The most striking example here is the checker.

The following categories of citizens have the right to carry bladed weapons by law:

• law enforcement officers on duty;
• citizens whose activities are related to hunting;
• athletes for whom owning a weapon is a professional duty;
• retired military personnel who use edged weapons that have trophy status;
• citizens attending thematic cultural events dedicated to weapons (selling antiques);
• users accompanying various cargo during transportation and transportation as a self-defense item.

A permit for bladed weapons will be required in a situation where it does not fall under the category of “civilian use.” If a particular knife has parameters indicating that it belongs to a real weapon, the owner will need to obtain special permission.

FZ-150 establishes a number of functional prohibitions regarding weapons.

The following types of weapons that could be used for civilian and official purposes and are classified as high-risk products are strictly prohibited for circulation:

• stun guns with increased power;
• brass knuckles;
• firearms that imitate the shape of other objects;
• armor-piercing cartridges.

Regarding bladed weapons, the list of prohibited items is much smaller. Thus, knives with automatic opening, as well as objects with a blade length of more than 90 mm, are completely prohibited for free circulation.

Also prohibited are weapons of a throwing nature (surikens, boomerangs), and objects with shock-crushing action.

According to the current provisions of the Russian legislative framework, brass knuckles are classified as a special category of edged weapons that have a shock-crushing effect.

Such items are prohibited for sale and carrying on the territory of the Russian Federation, and violators will face criminal liability! Especially severe punishment threatens those for whom the use of brass knuckles is in the order of things.

The law allows you to carry a bladed weapon whose blade length does not exceed 9 cm. If situations arise where it is necessary to verify the involvement of the weapon owner in a crime, a special examination will be carried out.

Federal legislation establishes certain temporary restrictions on the free carrying of weapons. So, if an item has household or economic use, you can wear it from any age.

True, you cannot take it with you to public places, airports, public areas with a large number of people, parades and other cultural events. Although, in the event of problematic issues involving minors, responsibility rests with the parents (guardians).

To obtain permission to store and carry weapons, you will need to contact the police department at the citizen’s place of residence. You will need to write a corresponding application and attach a copy of your passport data and 2 passport-type photographs. The applicant must meet only one requirement - to be an adult.

After checking the application, the Department of Internal Affairs makes a decision to issue a license and carries out a procedure such as registration.

For citizens wishing to purchase a hunting knife (a weapon prohibited for the general public), there is a mandatory requirement to register a dangerous item and obtain the appropriate permit from the state.

Using a hunting knife without a permit is a violation and is punishable according to the applicable state requirements.

Only companies that have certificates for activities of this nature can engage in the production of products belonging to the category of edged weapons in Russia.

If illegal manufacturing is detected, the law establishes criminal liability for violators.

Regarding violations related to the storage, carrying and production of bladed weapons, the law provides for both administrative and criminal sanctions.

Administrative punishment will be determined, and permissible liability will appear in the form of:

• a fine of 500-5000 rubles (depending on what signs of the offense are identified);
• removal of a dangerous item;
• The administrative code allows for a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the receipt of weapons, as well as their possible involvement in criminal acts.

The punishment under the Criminal Code is much stricter:

• compulsory work for 480 hours;
• correctional labor for 2 years;
• restriction of freedom for 2 years;
• imprisonment for 2 years;
• a fine in the amount of 50-80 thousand rubles or in the form of income for 6 months.

It must be established that illegal purchase of a prohibited product is also punishable.

Amendments to federal legislation on bladed weapons are carried out regularly. The legislator is constantly tightening the requirements for owners of dangerous items.

Among the latest changes affecting Federal Law-150 are:

1. Citizens caught poaching will lose their licenses for permitted weapons and will be expelled from the hunting community.
2. Users who have more than 2 protocols for non-payment of fines for traffic violations within a year will lose their license and face the confiscation of a dangerous item.
3. The possibility of revoking permission for citizens in debt is being discussed. What kind of debt exactly is not yet indicated.

Important

And the local police officer is obliged to check the conditions of its storage. And if not... Do you hope that when imposing an administrative penalty, they will take into account complaints: “Oh, well, I didn’t know that this was chemical weapons”? Then, perhaps, you can store the machine gun.

Do you really think that I have to rush like a moose to a watering hole with every piece of hardware without an expert certificate? Until SOMETHING is recognized as XO, it is not XO. Just from your point of view, if I buy a toy gun and a local police officer suddenly comes to see me, they have to arrest me for illegal possession of firearms because the CM decided that it was a weapon, not a toy.

Vsevolod 01/22/2008 14:52 Not at all.

Attention

But not the entire amount will be returned to you: part of the money will be taken by the appraiser, and part by the trading organization. Let me emphasize: we are only talking about a situation where you were just walking with your blade and haven’t done anything yet.

Info

The authors of weapons innovations propose to further strengthen responsibility. For repeated violation of the ban on carrying bladed weapons - a fine of up to 50 thousand.

rubles or arrest for 15 days. If the police stop him for the third time within a year, he’ll end up in jail. Namely: imprisonment for up to two years and a fine of 200 thousand.

rubles On the grounds that cases of the use of piercing and cutting objects in street conflicts have become more frequent. The most resonant case is the tragedy in Solntsevo near Moscow.

What restrictions do people have regarding edged weapons? The law states that citizens of any professional activity cannot, at their discretion, use edged weapons in the following cases:

• send by mail
• wear at processions, rallies, demonstrations
• carry to use in self-defense
• athletes store and use copies only in the area of ​​the sports facility

The law prohibits:

• acquire and store weapons items that do not comply with legal requirements
• have boomerangs, brass knuckles, and also use them, since the punishment for use is much more severe than simple storage

Possession of sabers and blades is not punishable by criminal laws, but it is important to remember that using them with criminal intent will result in severe punishment.

A person who voluntarily surrendered the items specified in this article is exempt from criminal liability under this article. (as amended by Federal Law No. 306-FZ of December 30, 2012) Article 223.1.

Illegal manufacture of explosives, illegal manufacture, alteration or repair of explosive devices (introduced by Federal Law of November 24, 2014 N 370-FZ) 1. Illegal manufacture of explosives, as well as illegal manufacture, alteration or repair of explosive devices - is punishable by imprisonment for a term of from three to six years with a fine in the amount of one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand rubles or in the amount of wages or other income of the convicted person for a period of one to two years.2.
