concept of bladed weapons in our time rather vague.Mortally wounded can be applied to a subject, do not fall under the definition.In each case, when the need arises examination carried knives, in which experts recognize or not recognize the object as such.
However, despite the absence of a definition, there are very specific symptoms, which can be distinguished from the normal course of the knife object capable in skilled hands pose a danger to others.
unconditionally brass knuckles, flails and other products crushing or throwing action recognized machetes, you do not even need examination.
In "Weapons Act" adopted by the Russian Federation, provides a definition, according to which, for the harm this type of guns used muscular force in a direct contact, but does not provide for such a crossbow.Consequently, the effect of certain types of bladed weapons can be remote.
However, such exotic items like onions, boomerang or crossbow, rarely become the subject of legal proceedings or evidence.Most controversial of all are the knives, especially infant.
When the examination is made of cold weapons, experts are guided by standards adopted during the Soviet years, the truth is now extended the scope somewhat, and the hardness of the metal is not considered.If the blade thickness is between 260 microns and larger, and the length - 900 mm, such knife generally considered dangerous.
take into account other design features, such as the shape of the cutting part.Forensic examination of cold steel blades distinguish different geometric shapes, indicating a striking factor is fundamental.However, there are also objects of combined action.It has the value and shape of the handle, and the presence of the stop and its dimensions.For example, the cold piercing weapons has tip and sharp edge is typical for heavy chopping, such as cutlass.
Another important factor - the strength of the connection of the handle with a blade or a latch holding the movable part of the cutting folding knife.
In controversial cases, the examination is carried out cold steel on the basis of the following objective parameters: the projection of the blade heel (size limit - 3.3 mm), its form (direct), the depth of which has podpaltsevaya recess (5 mm).These dimensions cause the knife to slip out of the ability of the hands at impact.
angle stop with respect to the line of the handle examination of bladed weapons are not considered.The main factor - preventing slipping hand hitter on the blade.So, conical or spindle-shaped handle may solve this problem is if the difference between thick and thin part of more than eight millimeters.If you have any controversial points shall be additional dynamic test.
ax melee weapon is usually not recognized, although it is much easier to kill than the sharpest bayonet fighting.The same applies to certified kitchen items, and most of the folding knife.
