Russian traditional folders?

They certainly could be used as a smoking-aid yes

This does look like a Sportsman's type pattern though for pic-nics and the outdoors, corkscrew, foil/wire cutter and straight edge plus maybe a fork for spearing pickled Cucumbers out of the jar etc. Although those forks do tend to be long.

Nice item, looks like a CCCP commemorative knife celebrating the Revolution of 1917 with the Cruiser 'Aurora' of Petersburg ? Celluloid handles? But smoking near them.....

I thought it looked like the Battleship Potemkin? Too many years ago in Washington DC, I watched the Soviet film on the revolt on the Battleship Potemkin. John

I think that Battleship took part in the 1905 mutiny in the Black Sea and was the basis for Sergei Eisenstein's silent film and Bolshvik masterpiece? The Cruiser Aurora (Avrova) was in St Petersburg and fired shots in the attack on The Winter Palace in the October Revolution 1917.

I could be mistaken though. Whatever, a very interesting knife from all points of view.

All right. This is the cruiser Aurora, which, with a shot from the bow gun, launched the assault on the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, where the bourgeois Provisional Government was sitting. The knife was released on the anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution, which happened in 1917. Therefore, the knife dates back to 1977 or 1987. Earlier in the 60s, the style was different, and in 1997 and later, the anniversary of the revolution was no longer celebrated. As for the curved blade, it was used everywhere in the USSR to open cans. Personally, being a pioneer (this is something like a scout), I always opened canned food with such an object in campaigns and did not see any other use of this blade. The Aurora cruiser itself is one of the most stable visual images in Russia. The cruiser still stands in St. Petersburg as a museum.
In addition, almost always the blades of folding knives in the USSR were made of carbon steel and almost always coated with chrome. Therefore, I always try not to remove the rust completely, so that it is not visible, otherwise you can tear off the thunder coating. I clean it slightly, preserve it and leave it like that.

Скоро Новый год. Снег и мороз по всей России, а на юго-западе России, в Ростове-на-Дону, тёплый дождь. Титан не боится воды. Если современные производители модных ножей считают, что они первыми стали использовать титан в складных ножах, то они ошибаются. В СССР титана было в избытке, он стоил столько же, сколько алюминий, и только сложность его обработки не позволяла широко использовать его где-либо. Тем не менее, рукоятка этого ножа сделана из титана. И стоит столько же, сколько любой другой.
