Meet the NSK series of Kizlyar flic knives!
The abbreviation “NSK” stands for “Kizlyar Clasp-Knife”.
The Russian historical name of a jackknife is close to the notion of “penknife”, due to the use of small folding pocket knives to repair goose pens when writing.
The Kizlyar NSK-4 is a medium-size folding knife designed for everyday usage in urban environments.

On the background of the legion of Chinese knives of any kind, the release of NSK-4 in one-piece plastic body proves to be a very good solution.
Due to the fluoroplastic washers mounted on the blade’s axis of rotation, the knife has no cross backlash characteristic for the like constructions. The washers prevent the blade from touching the housing and make the slip of the blade better.
The NSK-4 comes with handles of various colors.
What the NSK-4 is needed for?

The length of the blade allows cutting fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, meat and fish. You will not regret if take the knife on a picnic or outing, where set of knives always “die” from the hands of good friends. A lot of knives were lost during such walks, and, unlike the NSK-4, it would be a great pity to lose a more expensive knife.
