Kizlyar Supreme Trident in D2 Early Impressions

A robustly built knife that leans more to the combat part of combat utility.
Pros:
- Good sheath. Modular, reversible, and offers several carry options. Holds the knife firmly and quietly.
- Excellent ergonomics
- Agile balance
- Smooth cutting and thrusting
- High standard of fit and finish, quality machining
Cons:
- Kratom handle appears to have low wear resistance
- The edge that it came with was unreasonably steep, imo.
- Hilt design limits grip options.
So, who is this knife for? It would make a great choice for someone looking to complete a bug-out bag, or for someone who wanted a deployment knife. It would make a decent survival/camp/bushcraft knife despite not seeming to have been designed for these tasks. However, it is important to keep the relatively low corrosion resistance of D2 in mind.
