Ok say this isn't a survival/EDC/outdoor knife as such, but I still have used it as one.
Like all military grade Kyzliars, the blade is made of 65X13 steel and its hand made and serial numbered. This knife is a dagger, other edge is straight and other serrated. The edge is straight lengthwise so it is very easy to keep sharp with a flat sharpner.
Handle is rubber-like material with some minor pattern to improve the grip. At the end of the handle is a pointy piece of steel with a hole for lanyard. That pointy part is also very handy glass breaker.
KO comes with a leather sheath which has quite nice picture encarved on it.
If you are looking for a Kizlyar knife as a all-around-knife, I'd go for Phonenix-2 over this.
