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.

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.
Two-sided protection for your fingers
The pronounced double guard creates a clear barrier between hand and edge. It helps resist forward hand movement during a firm grip or an abrupt stop—especially useful when hands are cold, wet, dirty or gloved.
A full-size handle that stays in hand
The 192 mm glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide handle gives large and gloved hands generous room. Deep moulded ribs increase contact and tactile feedback, reducing the tendency to slide or rotate while keeping the knife strong without unnecessary weight.
Clipped, anchored and ready
The pocket clip keeps this substantial folder anchored at the pocket edge instead of loose at the bottom. That makes Stinger easier to locate, draw and return while giving its 192 mm closed profile a stable carry position.
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.

Clear answers
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 192 mm handle is moulded from glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide. Reinforcing fibres improve stiffness and dimensional stability, while deep ribs provide tactile feedback and extra contact for a confident grip—even with large or gloved hands.
What is the benefit of Stinger’s double guard?
The pronounced guard shoulders form a clear barrier between the hand and cutting edge. They help limit forward hand movement during a firm grip or abrupt stop, adding reassurance when hands are wet, dirty, cold or gloved.
How does the pocket clip help?
The clip holds Stinger at the pocket edge instead of allowing such a large folder to move loose at the bottom. It provides a stable carry position and makes the knife easier to locate and retrieve.
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.
Did Stinger receive a competition result?
Yes. At Moscow Blade 2026, Stinger placed second for cutting performance in the competition class for folding knives with blades longer than 120 mm.
What comes with Stinger?
The standard package includes the knife, an international warranty card and Kizlyar Supreme packaging. Dealer bundles can vary, so confirm local details before purchase.
