Follow up: Kizlyar Supreme STURM Review


Why I (continue to) like this knife so much

Kizlyar Supreme have got a good thing going with this handle design. Shock absorbing, comfortable plus ergonomic, did I say comfortable? A dependable full tang knife with no milled out sections in the tang. It's a perfect thickness for many tasks, not too thick not too thin. You can use a baton with it if you have to. Work on the coast or any other body of water. Stick your palm of your hand into the butt end without sticking the butt end into your hand.
It's a sabre grind bordering on almost a full flat grind and this I like as the top section of the spine stops the knife from twisting within a block of wood when splitting it.
The STURM has a great point, perfect for gutting fish and starting on game.
The STURM is stainless steel AUS8. AUS8 has loads of great qualities when it comes to outdoor knife steels. For a start it's originally designed by Japanese. It takes an edge and holds an edge.

The Kizlyar Supreme Sturm has no hot spots in it's design of the handle, this makes it a comfortable grip without wearing gloves.

The scabbard is secure and safe. No chance of it rotting in the humid jungle or pouring rain/mist soaked mountains!
