Item Description: Translate description
"This is an original WWII-era Soviet Air Force pilot's survival hatchet, a compact yet rugged multipurpose tool carried aboard Red Army aircraft for emergency landings, navigation, and survival scenarios. Forged from carbon steel with a broad axe face and pick-style back spike, the hatchet shows clear wartime age and service wear. The wooden grip is ribbed for handling and secured by steel rivets, with signs of field reconditioning. Issued primarily to bomber crews and front-line fighter pilots operating in the vast, unforgiving terrain of the Eastern Front, these survival tools were stored in aircraft emergency kits alongside maps, flares, and basic rations.

Pilots who crashed behind enemy lines or in remote tundra or forest zones depended on these tools for firewood collection, shelter building, or defense. Unlike American or British pilot gear, which was often standardized, Soviet aircrew equipment was diverse, often hand-assembled in depot-level survival kits. These compact hatchets are rare to find outside of Eastern Europe and represent a fascinating aspect of Soviet aviation history-equal parts practical tool and emblem of Red Army resilience.
