Couldn't find a manufacturers forum for Kizlyar so please feel free to move if I have this is the wrong spot.
Wondering if anyone has any experience with Kizlyar Supreme. Found the Sensei in D2 and really like the look of the knife but reviews online are very hard to find. Anyone have one or another Kizlyar produced knife that could provide some details? Performance, comfort, ergos, quality etc...you know all the good stuff.
Thanks for your help!

Russian manufacturers and in particular Kyzliar caught my attention while ago due to very high scores within their feedback....
Recently I decide to "pull the trigger" on two models Kyzliar Legioner, which is multipurpose utility combat knife with drop point blade, black leather washers handle, finished with robust steel pommel that can be used for hammering etc.its also equipped with double guard for safety,,,, sheath is made out of solid thick leather.This knife is made to be used in harsh conditions for wide range of tasks, chopping, cutting, precise slicing, stabbing too due to secondary false edge, (but not suitable for batoning as it's biting quickly into batoning wood. Second one is military dagger KO1 which is shorter version of Ko2 - longer dagger, with very similar handle (leather washers) significant robust pommel, difference is only with double hand guard... (easy to Google pictures) not necessary to describe it...Kyzliar KO1 is serial numbered, mine comes with Kydex sheath, which I am not very fond of, but they made also leather variations of sheaths on lot of knives, same as with varying handle materials (depend on seller offers) this dagger can be used on very limited number of tasks due to its nature, blade is strong enough but very lightweight and thin - in order to serve it's purpose of easy penetration (have that only for collection purpose obviously.
Overall: sharpness on Kyzliars is sufficient and very sharp out of box both knives are easily shaving hair on forearm,fit tightly into sheaths, no rattling noises even from Kydex. Steel is Russian corrosion resistant 65*13,,, what I have noticed, blades are very easy to clean, there is nearly no residue particles hindering look even after chopping, cutting wood.Price tags are within 100 range and it must be also considered these are not your ordinary mass production knives, they are handmade, no two are the same and knives of this quality I must say are bargain price for what you get.
I was very impressed and only can recommend these. Most of models are designed for military and law enforcement,(their biggest customer are Russian Spetznaz units,including Russian president Vladimir V.Putin, who openly favours this brand and he carrying Kyzliar knives himself ) but Kyzliar do make some civilian hunting and beautiful engraved knives.
