Knives Izula-II Fixed Blade Knife, Micarta Handle, Molded Sheath, Clip Plate (Desert Tan)

Great smaller knife, that lives up to the hype. I probably own + 50 personal working knives, mostly fixed blades. All of them get USED, as I'm wearing/using a fixed blade +18 hrs a day, every day. No "pretty-boy" display knives. Most of my knives tend to be bigger than the Izula 2, but thought I'd give it a try, after reading/watching a bunch of reviews here/YouTube. I gotta admit, I was pleasantly surprised. The handle has a nice feel to it, the blade has nice coating, and it came razor sharp. Sheath is actually pretty good for a 'stock' sheath, and has a nice small profile. I was concerned about the belt clip, as most 'stock' belt clips might work okay for the casual knife person, but usually don't hold your knife in place (very well). But for this Izula 2, I have been able to use the belt clip attachment that came with the knife, as the spring tension of the clip is really strong. I was impressed. I like the sheath that came with it, as it has nice retention to it, with no rattle. But for folks who buy the Tan or OD Green colored blade, the sheath tends to leave a dark black mark on both sides of your blade, whenever it's inserted/extracted from the sheath. I found 2 little nubs on the inside top part of the sheath, that holds the blade in. But they tend to rub on the blade, leaving a small black smudge mark. Easy to clean off, but will probably continue to leave those marks, and eventually wear away the protective coating. For many of my fixed blade knives, I buy a custom sheath, as some 'stock' sheaths are sub-par. While waiting for this knife, I started looking for a custom sheath. Found a great double-layered, two-tone kydex sheath, made for the price that most folks charge for a single layer kydex sheath. DeepCreekCustoms did a great job on it, and very inexpensive (about 1/3 the cost of the knife). Nice part is, I now have two really good sheaths that I can use, and each has their purpose. My 'stock' sheath works nicely if wearing my knife on pants, etc., and my custom one works great if attached to my pack or work gear. I've only owned this knife for a week or two, so I won't go into assessing how functional it is. Most of the other reviews here have covered most of that pretty well, already. I will say that I am very satisfied with my purchase, and for a smaller, utility knife, it will handle almost anything I throw at it. Try one .... you'll be glad you did.

I am deployed O/S. I don't know where to begin. This knife is the bomb & a bag of chips. It was a far departure from what I would carry with a blade length of little over 2 1/2" & overall 6 3/4" length. I carry IWB over strong side right side kidney. You can can easily forget its there, really that comfortable. It's like 4oz. It is so handy. Who knew? What a revelation that it would do so much for it's size. I couldn't be happier with it. I got the carbon steel version as this is easier for me to sharpen. I have coated the blade with all manner of oil & grease. Olive oil, Coconut oil, Bacon grease & motor oil. Easy to sharpen & scary sharp. Esee knives punch way above their weight. What a pleasant surprise when a purchase exceeds our expectations & at such a reasonable price.

This is an excellent knife. It is a great size for everyday carry. It fits well in the sheath. Knife holds an edge good and is easy to sharpen. Esee knives are great quality and value!

I was a little skeptical when I bought this knife because of the low price but man was I surprised at how great this little knife was. Great cutting power for such a small package. The blade is 1095 carbon steel (which will rust if the blade is not covered with some kind of water repellent), heat treated to hold a superb edge, and is razor sharp out of the box and a few passes on a strop or sharpening stone after heavy use keeps it sharp enough to shave with. The handle is micarta, which is a hardened canvas, and feels really comfortable in my hand with or without gloves. Besides batoning through large pieces of wood and chopping branches, this knife can do it all. The knife comes with a plastic sheath and hardware for hanging around your neck. I happen to hate having anything heavy dangle around my neck so I ditched the factory sheath for a Kydex one (for durability) made by Grizzly Outdoors and paired it with a Blade Tech TekLok to wear it from my belt. I usually pair this with a hatchet or a larger knife like the Esee 6 when expecting to process lots of wood for shelter building or for a fire, and I may or may not carry the larger tool on my person, but this baby never leaves my belt. Whether its slicing meat, quickly sharpening a stick into a tent stake or making a spit, or cutting cord, or skinning an animal, the tool I need is no further than reaching down to my hip. The spine is not 90 degrees out of the box so I cut it down to such using a file, which enables me to use the back of the knife to strike sparks off a ferro rod. A simple modification that makes this a good survival knife and the only thing I would change about it if I were the designer.

Un fantastico Edc a lama fissa di dimensioni ridotte. Comodo da impugnare con la sua manicatura in Micarta e una lama in acciaio carbonioso molto affilato che mantiene ottimamente il filo e che è super facile da affilare. Lo consiglio a tutti.

L Esee Izula II è certamente uno dei migliori RUK Real Utility Knife mai prodotti , l'acciaio 1095 ad alto tenore di carbonio lo rende praticamente indistruttibile, essendo un acciao flessibile e di facile riaffilatura, la bellissima copertura desert coated ne limita la manutenzione necessaria,risolvibile comunque con del grasso di vaselina tecnica o Balistol Universal oil sempre reperibile qui su Amazon. Arriva affilato come un rasoio e con un bellissimo fodero da montare, totalmente castomizzabile sia per il porto verticale che in quello orizzontale, rendendolo così comodo in vita e di facile occultamento oppure anche per porto a stivale. Ne sono entusiasta...5 stelle e se potessi metterei anche la sesta! Tempo di consegna ineccepibile come sempre... Consigliato al 100%!

I was impressed with the edge when I bought the knife. It was very sharp out of the box. I am using this knife as my secondary blade, around my neck. This knife has been a great companion. Easy to sharpen and maintain. Worth every penny. I also bought 2 more to give away as Christmas presents.

Genau so wie erwartet, schalen sind mir persönlich zu dick runter damit und paracord drauf gemacht ist viel angenehmer :)

This knife should last for years. Esee knives are my favorite brand. The izula is small but it is built like a tank. It is as thick as my esee 4 which i use to remove wound up plant material on a harvester and other hard tasks. The sheath is perfect.
