I apologize for the long break.
Today I will tell about Kizlyar knives.
NOT Kizlyar Supreme. These are two different manufacturers.
About Kizlyar Supreme supri I wrote above.

Knives firm Kizlyar most common in the territory of Russia in the free market. That is, you can come to any hunting or fishing store, and with a probability of 90% there will be sold Kizlyar knives there.
Knives occupy the lowest price segment, but they have a very good value for the price - quality. Most often in a set there are very quite good leather sheath.
Kizlyar also produces cold weapons with a long blade (by analogy with Cold Steel), and knives, which under Russian law are cold weapons, and special permission is required to carry them.
Of the minuses - simple steel AUS-8 or similar, as well as FAT CUT GRIND (as in axes) and very different heat treatment of steel. Sometimes marriage occurs, but I did not come across.
The knives of this company were actually used and continue to be used by Russian special forces - they are bought with their own money.
For example, the Scorpion model was popular during the Chechen campaign, as far as I know.
The model KO-1 and KO-2 is very popular. This is a double-edged dagger, one of the best in its class.
In general, a lot of combat knives are made. Often, these knives are presented in special units with a gift engraving.
In addition, a lot of models of tourist, fishing, household knives are made.
The most popular models are Finnish, Taran and Owl (clone Fallkniven F1). The material of the handle - elastron, resembles a craton, but more rigid. There are also options with wooden handles.
In the end I will show my knife of this company, which is very dear to me. Burgut model.
Folding knives of this company are not recommended for purchase, as a very high rejection rate, often the mechanics need to be finished manually with a file. Their price often does not match the quality, the design can be considered obsolete against the background of many Chinese folding knives.
At the same time, if you can choose from several copies, you can take a good folding with not bad quality knife that can be used, and not just stored in a collection.
If you want to supplement your collection with a knife from Russia, which is massively produced and does not cost much - definitely worth taking Kizlyar fixed knife. "Cheap and angry" as we say. They are quite strong, and, most likely, will suit inexperienced users, or for rough work. They do not mind breaking.
