From the witness story
of the Process engineer of the plant F.Z.Sabrikova:
The appearance of axes upled the visit of the General Secretary
of the Central Committee
of the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union L.I. Brezhnev to Siberia and the Far East of the USSR
in March-April 1978.
During a trip to one of the stations, he arranged a meeting with the builders of BAM-a,
and one of the builders slipped him an axe with a forked blade.
Accordingly, with a complaint - how you can work with such a tool.
The reaction was immediate, all the axes were put on their ears.
The axe was entrenched in Moscow, the first persons and the chief specialists
of the manufacturers went to see it. At the time, I was working as a process engineer on Izhstal plant.
I only saw a picture of a stratified blade, the picture was talentless, no stigma, no shape of an axe.
And the man who went to Moscow said that it seems not ours. He was a distributor and quite far from the axes.
Commissions, inspections, various plans for measures to control and improve quality were immediately sprinkled.
We have long hatched the idea of testing new brands of steel and now this moment has come.
So at that time we did axes not on GOST1379-73 but on TU developed at our plant.
Where some liberties were allowed, such as in the timber industry supplied not painted axes,
but in terms of size, hardness, etc. requirements were not lower, and in some cases higher.
Our company had unique capabilities in terms of casting and rolling any brand of steel,
we settled on steel 8ХФ.
Picked up forging and heat treatment modes, the tool does not need to change,
only the stigma.
The question arose, how to distinguish the axe? From the letter У did not want to leave,
and on the TU we produced axes universal, economic and meat grinders (the only ones in the Union)
now appear some combined with welded blades, etc. nonsense.
After much debate decided to call the universal increased d
urability
-
УПС
.
And to be different painted in blue, then began to paint in baths blue.
In retail trade these axes did not go,
only in the timber industry, and the price was like U2.
There was Socialism and to agree
the price for trade was a dying business.
Only a few years later they went to the trading network.
In the 90s there was no opportunity
to buy paint of another color, and we switched to GOST18578-89,
which was introduced from 01.07.90g.
Where 8ХФ steel is included as the main brand of steel
on the axe and enough was the mark 8ХФ.
It is that steel which it was used for manufacturing a bayonet-knife
of Kalashnikov assault rifle.
So now, remembering some beautifully painted tales of 'special BAM axes' - you can put a point in this matter.
Such special axes really were, but they appeared as we can see a little later - in the 1980s of the last century.
And the main merit in the appearance of such an axe belongs to Izhstalevsky blacksmithing production.
