Help me identify this knife

I'm pretty sure this is a soviet souvenir from the 70's 80's probably, but i can't understand anything else about it.

DPRK Handball Pennant

​

My newest acquisition is this small fully embroidered pennant from the DPRK's Handball team. This one was probably given a other team during a Handball match.

Me Wearing a Kim Badge

​

Here's a pic of me in a suit made in the Polish People's Republic where I wear a Kim Il Sung badge with Mangyongdae on the lapel like in the early 1980s late 1970s

Best places to find unusual and interesting souvenirs in the PMR?

I’ll be visiting the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic around Republic Day in September and would love some recommendations for souvenir shopping.

I’m particularly interested in things beyond the usual magnets and keyrings—PMR memorabilia, composite coins, badges and pins, old postcards, books, Soviet-era items, Suvorov souvenirs, small busts or plaques, local crafts and anything especially unusual or distinctive.

Are there any good antique shops, markets, museum shops or particular sellers in Tiraspol or Bender that you would recommend? Do special souvenir stalls normally appear during the Republic Day celebrations?

Shop names, locations and opening times would be greatly appreciated. I’d also be interested to know whether these places normally accept cards or require local cash.

Thank you!
