I have a soft spot for hollow handle knives, and am always on the lookout for a properly made one that can be used without worrying it will come apart; this is what drew me to the Survivalist X hollow handle knife. To partner this we have the Sturm, a smaller general purpose blade, and for this review in a high hardness steel, PGK from German steel makers Lohmann.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as I came across knife makers <a href=\"http:\/\/kizlyarsupreme.ru\/?language=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Kizlyar Supreme<\/a> I was impressed with the range of great designs and was very keen to try out some of their knives. Kizlyar Supreme launched as a company in 2011 thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication of its founders, with the intention to provide great designs using high grade materials yet remain affordable.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kizlyar-Supreme-group-02-angle-P1370070.jpg\" alt=\"\"

here are:<\/h4>\n<p>I&#8217;d go so far as to call the Sturm&#8217;s sheath a &#8216;technical mounting platform&#8217; due to its mass of design features and practicality. As you will see in the photos, the sheath is indexed so the blade will only fit into it one way. Though not initially appearing ambidextrous, if the four bolts holding the sheath to the mount are removed, you can flip the sheath over to make it left-handed. While doing this you can also swap from vertical to horizontal carry by turning the mount 90 degrees.<br \/>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-8880 .fg-image { width: 150px;

The lower the Series 2 degradation (S2) figure is, the more resistant the edge is to being rolled. The recovery strop process shows if the edge was permanently damaged or chipped, or can be fully recovered.<br \/>\nHere you can see the PGK outperforming the D2 steel by a good margin. This is not saying the D2 is bad, in fact the D2 is good, just that the PGK performs better in this test.<\/p>\n<p>Being a new steel to me, I checked the composition which is listed as:<br \/>\nName &#8211; Lohmann PGK<br \/>\nBase &#8211; Fe<br \/>\nC &#8211; 1.2<br \/>\nCr &#8211; 8.5<br \/>\nMo &#8211; 1.5<br \/>\nV &#8211; 2<br \/>\nW &#8211; 1.5<br \/>\nSi &#8211; 1<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kizlyar-Supreme-SET-60-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"428\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kizlyar-Supreme-SET-60-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kizlyar-Supreme-SET-60-scaled-600x100.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kizlyar-Supreme-SET-60-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kizlyar-Supreme-SET-60-1024x171.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kizlyar-Supreme-SET-60-768x128.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kizlyar-Supreme-SET-60-1536x257.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kizlyar-Supreme-SET-60-2048x343.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<h3>What is it like to use?<\/h3>\n<p>Picking up the Sturm was like finding an old pair of shoes that fit perfectly. No adjusting or finding my way with this knife, instead just getting on with whatever task. The size of the Sturm is ideal for most of the general cutting tasks you might want a fixed blade for.<\/p>\n<p>The lips of the sheath had arrived with some rough edges from the moulding and these were becoming annoying. Once trimmed off, the feel was transformed as when unsheathing the knife you push onto the lips with your thumb. The retention is a bit strong to just pull the Sturm out without the thumb lever, but is possible when you really have to.<\/p>\n<p>Hollow handles &#8211; are they a love or hate thing? If the knife is not well made and the blade comes off, then clearly hate, but if the handle and blade are well fixed and don&#8217;t come loose, what then? The Survivalist X has had a hard time from me, heavy chopping and into hard woods; I wanted to see if I could get the blade to shift in the handle &#8211; so far not a hint of movement.<\/p>\n<p>So, the Survivalist X&#8217;s blade\/handle construction is solid and doesn&#8217;t look like a weak point at all, then we have the fact it is a round handle. True, a round handle is not the best as it lacks indexing for the grip. You do have to keep an eye on the blade orientation, and in heavy chopping it can spin and twist a little. Nothing unexpected there. The knurling gives good grip without being too abrasive. It is actually not a bad thing that you have to pay attention to the knife and your grip, and I&#8217;ve not found this to be a problem.<\/p>\n<p>The Survivalist X is a heavy hitter, and is heavy to carry, so take it when you want a big camp knife, or don&#8217;t want to carry a hatchet as well as a knife.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-8958 .fg-image { width: 150px;

the bone cracker wedge on the Survivalist X&#8217;s spine; it is like nothing I&#8217;ve seen before. A big knife like this is also good for batoning larger logs, but this wedge damages the baton more than a straight spine. How often do you need to crack bones instead of cutting at the joints? Not sure about that.<\/p>\n<p>I must also mention that the factory edges on both knifes were superb, with good angles, and in hard steels &#8211; though not essential, it is very nice to have super sharp blades out of the box.<\/p>\n<p>The Sturm has several different steel choices and the PGK steel has been a really interesting one. I thought I had an issue when cutting packing straps as the edge seemed to dull straight away when cutting some of these, yet as you have seen before, it&#8217;s structural edge testing results very very good. I decided to change the edge angle, and it was very slow to sharpen on a belt, showing how hard and wear resistant the PGK steel is. After this reprofile I haven&#8217;t had anything similar happen, so it appears to have been an anomaly.<\/p>\n<p>I also can&#8217;t quite work it out as a steel, as when I examine the edge for defects, I see reflections that would normally indicate  edge damage, yet the Sturm remains sharp and cuts well, defying the normal observations. The bottom line here is that despite what I think I see, the Sturm keeps cutting.<\/p>\n<h3>Review Summary<\/h3>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this summary table are from the point of view of the reviewer\u2019s personal use.
