Hi Allan,
I can't help with the translation but it does look like cyrillic to me. I believe the knife is an Uzbec pichok.
Sincerely,
RobT

True enough: Pichok.
Inscriptions: "nerzh" abbreviation of "nerzhaveyushchaya", ie stainless
9 p 50 k: price; 9 rubles 50 kopecks
Chust: just Chust, a town.
Also there are 2 monogrammed letters, likely name of the factory.
Made after 1991, after Uzbekistan's becoming independent. After that, their new currency is called "sum"

I got it yesterday.

Not that it is worth much.

Greetings, Helge
