Title:
Vintage Russian Dagger-Style Ballpoint Pen – Resin Handle & Metal Blade – 16cm
Description:
A vintage Russian novelty dagger-style ballpoint pen featuring a cast-resin handle with striped pastel colouring and a metal “blade” section that houses the pen tip. These decorative pen-knives were produced across Russia and the former USSR during the 1970s–1990s as souvenirs and unique writing instruments, recognised for their playful design and colourful craftsmanship.
The blade-shaped upper section is aluminium alloy with a faux cutting edge, while the handle is made of layered cast resin with scalloped detailing. The ballpoint tip extends through the end of the blade, identifying it clearly as a functional pen rather than a knife.
