ESEEIzula Fixed Blade Knife w/Molded Polymer Sheath and Clip Plate

Very nice knife for EDC I’m very happy with it. Blade is thick and sharp what else could you ask for? The handle fits your hand perfectly. Only complaint I have is with the sheath that it comes with. The sheath is a insanely tight fit it’s very difficult to get the knife out of the sheath I will be buying a better one from a different manufacturer but the thought is there and the quality is good it’s just insanely tight. Highly recommend to use blue loctite in the screws. I also bought the micarta handle for the knife and it’s super comfortable and grippy. Only complaint I have with the handle is it doesn’t come with an Allen wrench or bit to mount it. Thankfully I had an extra bit to get it nice and tight. Overall an amazing value I’d buy it again. Probably will once this one gets enough use but I don’t see this knife every having to be replaced it’s solid

With a set of TKC scales and a kydex sheath I got on Etsy, this knife is wicked. That basically doubles the price but I wanted this knife to be the best it could be. There are perfectly good, less expensive scales made by Esee available here on Amazon, and the factory sheath works fine but is not nearly as nice as the knife. I see Chinese knives for $25-30 that come with kydex sheaths and I wish companies like Esee and Cold Steel would follow suit. I prefer stainless for small edc type blades like this, and if the Izula 2 was available in s35v I would have gotten it for the extra 1/2” of real estate on the handle, but this knife is still strong and ergonomically excellent, and with the new scales and sheath, beautiful to look at.

Been looking at sub three inch blades recently and decided to try this one out. I have a few other ESEE knives which I like so this was a no brainer.Arrived in one day in the usual large ESEE box with all the usual paperwork and some stickers.As is the knife is quite thin and easily slides in and out of pocket with little or no printing at all. The included sheath is ok and has multiple mounting points. It is fairly snug fitting but still rattles a bit and I have found some shavings on the blade. I have ordered a custom sheath which I’m waiting for and some handle scales for a bit more girth and a better grip. I’ve already installed the handles and they feel just right with almost a full four fingers on the handle.Out of the box the blade is careful sharp and easily sliced hair off my arm with little to no effort.I edc pocket knives daily and this one is small enough to easily fit in front pocket alongside my keys and a small Olight.I expect this one to be a daily carry in either my pocket or on my belt for a long time to come.PS My White River backpacker pro and GiantMouse gmf1 will have to share pocket time with this one.

In my honest opinion, ESEE probably makes the best knives of any knife manufacturer in the world today. I am absolutely amazed at the quality of their products, and quality is a hard thing to come by these days in America or anywhere else for that matter.Interestingly, ESEE touts their 1095 carbon steel knives as the pinnacle of their survival knife catalog, and there is no doubt that my ESEE 5 and 6 have lived up to that billing. However, with that being said, ESEE's stainless steel knives in S35VN steel deserve a lot more credit than even ESEE itself gives them. I now have an ESEE 3, 4 and the Izula in S35VN, and once again, I am amazed at the quality of ESEE knives. They do an outstanding job on their stainless steel blades. I just wish they would offer more knives in stainless steel. I would buy their entire line in S35VN steel, and I wish they would make more folder knives, so if ESEE is reading this, you guys have a big fan right here, and I think you're not giving your stainless steel knives enough credit. I have found them to be extremely sharp right out of the box (probably the sharpest factory edges I've ever seen), even grind, perfect edge, and just extremely well made and more than capable of standing on its own merit in terms of survival knife applications.In fact, while the 1095 steel knives may have some advantages, I've found that the stainless steel ESEE knives offer more versatility, less maintenance and excel at more tasks around the campfire than even ESEE's 1095 line. Of course, I live on the coast in a very moist environment, so your mileage may vary. Still, even with that said, there is no denying the quality, utility and functionality of ESEE stainless steel knives in survival, camping and hunting applications.
