Hello.
I am from Australia.
I have seen Kizlyar knives before and I am very impressed with what they are, so I bought some from the Australian distributor.
Word of warning: stay away from the Australian distributor, the knives, however, are generally good.
I was shipped the wrong knives. I was also shipped damaged knives. The knives were not in their original packaging. I was given false warranty cards.
When one of my knives was exchanged (wrong item delivered), at my front door, by Zobair Bary, claiming to be boss of Australian distribution, it was in the plastic still. He unwrapped it, defaced it, gave me the wrong sheath, and did not give me a warranty card. He sanded the leather handle of the knife, and defaced the incorrect sheath that he provided with the knife. He also placed the knife at my stomach for some bizarre reason. I just looked at him like the fool he is. After that, he jumped over my balcony and ran to his car.
On another note, when I was upstairs, getting the knife for exchange, returning downstairs I caught him in my house. He ran out the door quick as a flash.
My house keys went missing and have since turned up in the most obvious of places. I am missing property from my residence.
He refused to re-exchange the damaged goods for new ones, wrapped in plastic, sealed as is from the factory. He also told me to piss off over the phone and hung up on me when I again asked for faulty goods to be exchanged.
These knives can be found much cheaper elsewhere in Australia than going to the distributor. You also will get correct warranty cards, the right products and goods that are not defaced.
The knives are excellent from the factory. They are truly works of art. I have been banned from knifeforums.com for airing my grievances in the Kizlyar forum. I have a friend who has been banned also. Posts were altered, moderators publicly admitted deleting posts for fun, posts were removed and reinserted in different threads, things like that. When trying to discuss a knife from a practical standpoint, moderation, deletion and ridicule occurred, by a user claiming to work for the Kizlyar factory in the design process from the 'Australian design team' (a claim since retracted).
Here is a photo of the man Zobair Bary, who came to my front door.
