Russian - Ataman

nozh2002 · Feb 10, 2006

I got next and I think final shipment another 3 RosArms knives (honestly it cost just a bit more then Microtech Amphibian - hard to resista).

This is Ataman - similar to Taiga, also bug but more aggressive I say. This is just outdoor picture I made today, I'll do more with proper light set.

It is big havy cutter.

What amaize me in this one - very simple lines, just single curve with tip up little bit, but how beautifull it is!

Thanks, Vassili.

Another nice one, but I would personally prefer a straight rather than a trailing tip.

Nice new additions to the thread! The flowers in the first pic are a nice touch. The last one is my favorite out of all the others. Great lighting and angle! Something very russian about it and not just because of the vodka.

Year... Vodka, Tchaikovski, Balet... I need only Kalashnikov and caviar to complete the picture...

Thanks, Vassili.

Well, in general it is commy who call each other this way and so normal russians awoid to use this world which means "comrade". This is not the world you use for your friends etc.

Keep in mind that russian and communists are different. Majority of russian was in opposition all the time kept in fear by KGB and disinformed by propaganda and that were russians who liberate Russia finally from communists not anybody else. Nobody in the world lost so many lives and resourses because of communism then Russian.

I'll really appretiate if you will not call me this way, because it sounds like you calling me communist, which is an insult for me.

Thanks, Vassili.

I offer my sincerest apologies then.

But don't you think this would have been better discussed thru PM and called my attention beforehand? Believe it or not I do have Russian friends (I can't recall the their city of residende though because it was difficult to pronounce. They were Ilya, Nadia and Zhawn) whom I call by this term out of fondness and they seem OK with it. I did not have any intention of insulting you.

Thank you for the knife pics all the same.

I am not allowed to use PM for some reason, please excuse me.

Sure, of course I understand that you do not have any wrong intention, this word just bother me a bit and nobody never call me this way back in Russia... It is quite ironical to be called this way here.

Thanks, Vassili.
