A clean bearing-supported flip
The blade moves on bearings, giving the flipper a crisp, fluid opening arc that feels controlled rather than abrupt.

Hussar
A full 98 mm blade in an agile 106 g folder-fast in the hand, easy in the pocket.
Hussar balances useful reach with remarkably low weight. Its bearing-supported flipper gives the blade a lively, controlled opening action, while the slim glass-reinforced polyamide handle, liner lock and reversible deep-carry clip make the complete knife easy to carry every day.

Reach without the burden
Substantial blade.
Surprisingly little weight.
Hussar gives owners the working reach of a 98 mm blade without making the knife feel heavy or clumsy. Every main element supports quick handling, comfortable carry and the satisfying mechanical character people expect from a modern flipper.
Only 106 g in the pocket
Lightweight construction keeps the 229 mm open knife remarkably easy to carry, so useful blade length does not become an everyday burden.
Slim, secure and weather-ready
The glass-reinforced polyamide handle combines structural stiffness with texture and shape that help the hand read the knife quickly.
Deep carry on either side
The reversible clip supports right- or left-side pocket carry, while the lanyard hole gives another simple way to locate or secure the knife.
Hussar from every angle
Lean lines.
Lively action.
The dedicated rotating studio view keeps the focus on the complete knife: the slim handle, deep-carry clip, useful point and balanced 98 mm blade.
106 g of everyday confidence
Light in the pocket. Serious when opened.
Hussar looks slender from the spine, yet opens into a properly sized working folder. The rotating view shows how the clip, liners, pivot and handle contours come together without unnecessary mass.
The proportions behind the agility
Useful reach.
Very little excess.
The factory drawing makes Hussar's balance clear: a 98 mm blade and 131 mm handle create a properly sized 229 mm working folder, while the lightweight construction keeps it remarkably easy to carry.

The moment the hand understands it
A long, useful knife that carries like a smaller one.
Specifications tell only part of the story. Pick Hussar up and the low weight becomes immediate; open it and the full-size blade changes the impression again. The handle is long enough for confident control, yet slim enough to remain unobtrusive in a pocket.
The practical result is a folder that feels quick during small daily jobs but never leaves the user wishing for more blade when a larger cut appears.
Hussar's character: generous blade reach, restrained pocket weight and a bearing action that makes the transition between the two genuinely enjoyable.

A special steel chapter
Hussar M398:
the familiar form, a different edge character.
Selected Hussar editions have explored Bohler M398 powder steel. The model's dimensions and light, fast character remain recognisable, while the high-alloy steel gives enthusiasts a distinctly different approach to wear resistance and long edge life.
Steel availability changes by production run and market. If this edition interests you, ask your local Kizlyar Supreme representative-customer demand helps special versions reach more countries.

Clear answers
Hussar FAQ
What makes Hussar unusual for its size?
Hussar combines a 98 mm blade and 229 mm open length with a weight of approximately 106 g. That gives it useful reach without the pocket burden many similarly sized folders create.
How does Hussar open?
Hussar is a manual flipper with a bearing-supported pivot. Pressure on the flipper tab starts the blade into a smooth, controlled opening arc.
Can the pocket clip be moved?
Yes. The deep-carry clip is reversible for left- or right-side pocket carry.
Is the M398 version the standard production model?
No. VG-10 Cryo is the established production specification shown here; M398 has appeared as a selected special edition. Availability depends on production run and market.
