Not long ago I saw, on a live feed, one of the Russian cosmonauts use a large dagger, during an EVA to install the new cameras facing earth. I guess it's not all that different from using a diving knife, but it was weird to see that double-edged weapon used in space.

Would you provide more details to trace-back this footage?

  It was on 2013-12-27, or at least that was the date in Western Europe. The knife had what looked like a leather sheath. I remember seeing it through the wall of his perspex toolbox after he tidied it up. Good luck :)

      Bravo. I'm surprised you found that in all those hours of video! I wonder if it's custom made or a regular diving knife. Those Orlan space suit gloves are quite bulky.
