Honoring a Legacy of Warrior Spirit

The Scythians were among the most powerful and effective armies in the ancient world. They were known for their martial spirit, skill, and combat tactics. The Scythians were also among the first to use methods and techniques of psychological warfare. The Scythian army went down in history as one of the most powerful and effective of its time.

"Scythian weaponry was rightfully considered one of the most advanced for its time. The Scythians created a set of weapons that did not undergo any serious changes or additions until the invention of firearms..."

— Ukrainian researcher Yevhen Chernenko

When we designed this knife, we were inspired by a Scythian akinakes found in the Kharkiv region in the 1970s. We visited the museum and made sketches to make our AKINAK Premium as close to the ancient original as possible.

Even after centuries underground, that ancient weapon felt incredibly powerful. It was a real blade for real warriors. This inspired us to create a knife that carries that same energy and strength. We believe we have succeeded.

It's a true weapon for true warriors, embodying the spirit of unwavering courage and the fighting traditions of Scythian forefathers. The AKINAK is a knife that has seen over 2500 years of combat, and today it is proudly held by the brave defenders of Ukraine.

Blade Proven Over Millennia

The blade of the Scythian akinak proved its effectiveness in the 7th–4th centuries BC. The Akinak by Blade Brothers Knives features:

• Double-edged N690 stainless steel blade hardened to 60 HRC for exceptional corrosion resistance and edge retention.
• Tactical full tang construction, where the blade and handle are one solid piece, ensuring maximum strength and stability.
• Dagger-shaped blade with a diamond-shaped cross-section for excellent stabbing capabilities.
• Sharp tip for precise strikes to the opponent.
• Comfortable handle for a secure grip.
• Sheath made from leather with a belt loop for secure attachment and convenient carrying.

Preserving the Essence of the Akinak

This model meticulously preserves the triangular geometry of the original akinak, granting the knife exceptional thrusting properties. It features the same ruthless blade bevels that characterized the powerful cutting and chopping abilities of the ancient Scythian Akinak. The rounded guard is also closely replicated from the Scythian weapon, as it perfectly suits this type of blade. Even the griffins on the pommel are faithfully reproduced.

More Ancient Scythian akinak:

• Fixed blade full tang knife
  The full tang fixed blade knife is made of premium-quality N690 stainless steel with a thickness of 5 mm and a hardness of 61-62 HRC. This ensures the strength, durability and power of the knife. 
• Double-edged blade with a dagger profile
  Due to the strict dagger profile and the diamond cross section of the blade, the knife has a huge penetrating force when striking and stabbing, making it an effective self-defense knife. The sharpened tip allows the knife to be used for precise strikes on the opponent. The knife pierces any dense materials, including modern equipment (except for armor plates).
• Straight wide bevels
  Straight wide bevels of the blade increase the contact area with the material into which the knife enters, while the sharp cutting edge sharply reduces the resistance of this material. Such bevels guarantee excellent cutting properties, reduce the effort required to move the knife along the material, and provide a powerful chopping effect.
