Kizlyar Supreme D2 Delta Review

In this video I review the Kizlyar Supreme Delta fixed-blade combat/tactical knife. This is an excellent general purpose blade for the serious user and collector. The blade is made of D2 tool steel and measures (with ricasso) 5 7/8". The handle, meanwhile, is 5 1/4", and the scales are composed of Kraton with an ABS base. Without the sheath the knife weighs a stout 11.5 ounces and is handle-heavy, meaning this is a swift blade with plenty of defensive potential.

The Delta model differs from the Alpha and Trident models, for example, in that the Delta has a harpoon tip rather than a simple drop point. This protruding false edge inflicts heavier damage on soft targets while reinforcing the tip and the spine. Though I was extremely aggressive with the Delta, there was no tip damage; the point was neither broken or blunted.

The D2 tool steel allowed the blade to withstand corrosion and resist edge wear. Although I put away the Delta dirty and wet on numerous occasions over the past 8 months, there has not been the faintest amount of rust anywhere on either the tang or blade. Furthermore, after cutting cardboard, paper, leather, paracord, and copper cable, the edge was noticeably dulled, but it remained "utility sharp." It simply took a few minutes of stropping to bring out the razor sharp edge once more. But there was no sharpening needed, just honing.

Last, but certainly not least, the Delta's sheath is of the highest quality. When you purchase the satin version of the knife you receive a manly-looking sheath that sports woodland digital camouflage similar to MARPAT worn by the US Marines. It can be attached to MOLLE webbing tip-up or tip-down, or it can be placed on a belt via quick-detach snap straps or a more secure belt loop system. The icing on the cake is that the sheath can be disassembled easily and rinsed both inside and outside should the need arise.

Therefore, I highly recommend this knife to anyone looking for a high-quality tactical knife under $200 US. I have little doubt that this knife could make the trip with you to Hell and back.

Wish there were more reviews like this! Super thorough, and a legit hard use test.

Excellent review. Got a couple of Kizlyar Supreme Knives in D2. I can confirm everything he said in this review. Their knives are truly outstanding in terms of price and value.

[zooyou]

Great review. I've been a fan of Kizlyar Supreme for a while. So happy to see more people giving them a try.

[wilhelmernst]

Another excellent well presented and thorough review. Your clear and concise speech is much appreciated because of my less than perfect hearing!

[Eric-kyfo]

Your channel is awesome dude! I gave this knife to a friend who's going over seas. I appreciate you taking the time to review.

[chokeout]

I just ordered one due to your reviews. Well done.

[DutchBushcraftKnives]

looks like a sturdy user. It does still have the secondary factory bevel however. I personally wouldn't be satisfied with the cutting capabilities of a secondary bevel like this one. Angle seems kinda large as well. If you gotta go for sturdyness like in this video however it's perfect. I wonder how it would hold in a shaving sharp secondary convex.

I really enjoyed this review. I love the guard shape on this knife! Great vid!

[wayneorellana]

I have several Kizlyar knives and I have always found them to be high performance, low maintenance good value for money. I have also found that they make great gifts.

[WeekendGunners]

Nice blade with a well rounded review. Good job!

[VashPlissken]

Badass setup you did with that knife :) Great review and thanks for the shout out :D

[spiketheadventurefurry]

I love the review brother. I like the blade. I'm glade you put this threw so much before posting the video. Very informal.

[achedalake]

I really enjoy your videos. You remind me of the those rare special school teachers that I really liked in K-6. But, you like badass things. Carry on.

[Grummash]

It's a handsome knife... and this was a great review :-)

[titan_kirk]

Another really nice feature of this knife is that it looks like a standard hunting knife if you change out the grips to Wood which is easy enough to do. Nobody is the wiser that it's an actual combat knife because it doesn't look scary or evil looking like some of the mtech fixed blades I've seen

[csachevauxsansabri]

Hi there long time no see. Fantastic blade. Just letting you know that my son is still using that knife that you send me for the contest wining. And every time I take my notebook in hand I think of you. Continue do the good work and reviews. One of you biggest fans.

I own a Kizlayar folder and fixed blade. Bother have only been sharpened once after beating them up. Most knife owners do not know of Kizlayar from Dagestan, Russia.

[Greenmachine]

Very thorough review. Is it a hollow grind?

[batteredhilt]

Thanks for the video I am ordering one for a self-defense blade

[BogdanHet]

Hi, could you tell me what kind of grind this knife used? Personally I prefer a scandi grind because it is easier to re-sharpen (comparing to convex). I am considering getting one of this. Thanks
