Why I'm still loving my Kizlyar Supreme SENPAI a year plus on.

 AUS8 is a great knife steel, make no mistake about it. AUS8 has done it's "Tour of Duty" and has nothing to hide.

 Made in Russia: A Brand name Built like a tank but functions like a knife should. The two "stains on the upper part of image are were I was going to lightly "patina" it-just for fun!

The Kizlyar Supreme Senpai looks like a proper knife, feels like a knife, cuts very very well and is beautiful to look at. Some have told me, "hey this really looks more like a weapon than something to be used in the outdoors". Maybe so but it's practicality for an outdoor knife is totally fine. Modelled around a Japanese Tanto, the Senpai (older colleague), I have found is fine in the outdoors for camping and food prep. If you like the Japanese-like design of this knife, like I do then I can tell you it will work fine for: gutting fish; cutting up meat off the bone, preparing vegetables; slicing through large fruits and vegetables such as: pineapples, mangoes, cassava, Yams and the like and even for those dead set keen on smashing the spine with a wooden baton; it will not yield.

Finally, the grip of the Kizlyar Supreme, made from Kraton over moulded onto ABS (Hey ABS is almost indestructible), is very ergonomic and good with wet hands.
