336 mm of controlled presence
Turning this much knife into a coherent folder demanded careful work with proportions, pivot position, internal packaging and handle geometry. The result feels intentionally large, not accidentally oversized.

Stinger
Closed, Stinger is already an imposing 192 mm folder. Flip it open and it reaches a remarkable 336 mm—an enthusiast-scale knife whose smooth bearing action makes the transformation as satisfying as the silhouette.
Creating a folder of this size without letting it feel crude or unwieldy was a serious design and manufacturing challenge. Kizlyar Supreme balanced the 144 mm single-edged blade, pivot geometry and sculpted glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide handle so Stinger feels authoritative rather than cumbersome—and delivers the unmistakable sense of command that makes people reach over and ask to flip it.

Impressive closed.
A showstopper open
At 192 mm closed, Stinger already looks unlike an ordinary folder. The moment its 144 mm blade swings out on bearings, the knife reaches 336 mm overall—and the reaction is immediate.
A flip people want to repeat
Stinger’s bearing-supported pivot gives the long blade a smooth, confident arc. The scale makes the movement dramatic; the tuned action makes opening it genuinely satisfying.
Glass-fibre reinforcement, purposeful form
Stinger’s handle is moulded from glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide—a structural material selected for strength without unnecessary weight. The reinforcing fibres improve stiffness and dimensional stability, while tightly controlled moulding conditions reproduce the crisp, deep texture that gives this large folder such a confident grip.
Stinger from every angle
336 mm of presence.
Impossible to ignore.
Watch the substantial 144 mm blade and deeply sculpted handle come together as one dramatic silhouette. Stinger’s scale commands attention; its controlled proportions, fine details and bearing-supported action reward the closer look.
Engineering profile
336 mm of presence, resolved line by line
Stinger's presence begins with size, but the real challenge is control. The production drawing shows how a 144 mm blade and 192 mm handle meet at the bearing pivot to create a 336 mm open knife without losing the slim profile and deliberate balance that define the model.

A show debut that drew a crowd
At Moscow Blade 2026, Stinger became one of our three leading models by show sales. At 192 mm closed it already drew attention; once opened to its full 336 mm, it became a genuine showstopper. Visitors repeatedly reached for it, flipped the long blade on its bearings and discovered that the design feels composed rather than cumbersome.
Its performance was not only visual. Stinger took second place for cutting performance in the competition class for folding knives with blades longer than 120 mm.
Award recognition: 2nd Place in the Folding Knife class for blades over 120 mm at the 52nd Blade: Traditions and Modernity exhibition, Moscow, 2026. View the award record.

Stinger FAQ
What kind of folding knife is Stinger?
Stinger is an enthusiast-scale manual folder: 192 mm closed, a remarkable 336 mm open, with a 144 mm single-edged blade and smooth bearing action. It is built for people who want a knife with unmistakable presence and a genuinely memorable opening experience.
Is the Stinger blade sharpened on both edges?
No. Although the 144 mm blade has a dagger-inspired silhouette, the production Stinger is single-edged.
Which steel and hardness does Stinger use?
Stinger uses cryogenically treated VG-10 stainless steel hardened to 61 HRC, with a StoneWash blade finish.
How does Stinger open?
Stinger opens manually on a bearing-supported pivot. The system gives its substantial 144 mm blade a smooth, confident arc—the kind of satisfying action people naturally want to experience more than once.
What is the Stinger handle made from?
The handle is moulded from glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide. The reinforcing fibres improve stiffness and dimensional stability compared with unfilled polyamide, while controlled processing helps maintain crisp three-dimensional detail and a secure tactile grip without unnecessary weight.
Are Stinger knives individually numbered?
The first 500 production Stinger knives are individually numbered to mark the model’s launch. Later production status can vary by market and production run.
