Had a Little Extra Cash and a Little Time, So I Got a Little Knife...

[Moped]

Drove over to SMKW this morning and bought an Esee Izula. I've been wanting one for several years and I got a gift card from work and decided to pull the trigger! Got the Olive Izula with the "survival" kit (comes with a magnesium fire starter, couple of different size key rings, a secure hook, some paracord, a belt clip, a whistle, cord lock and a Esee Survival Tips Card). I also picked up a set of gray canvas mircarta scales. This is a nice robust little knife in 1095!!!

I'll have one some day, probably configured just like yours.

Good choice.  That's my go to fixed blade for day to day use.

Congrats...great little knives. I pocket carry one all the time.

I got it for everyday carry.  I also looded at a couple of others, like the Becker Necker, CRKT Minimalist and SPEW and the Broker+ Rambler, but I've always wanted a Izula, so I went with that.  The Necker would have been my second choice.  I also like the looks and feel of the SPEW.  That would make a dandy little defensive blade.  You'd have no problem at all sticking into an attacker.  That is one sharp point.  But I wasn't that impressed with the steel 5CR15MoV.  But it's a wicked looking blade!

Nice knife, Esee has impressed me with their products. I've got one of these also but without all the bells and whistles, came with the sheath and I wrapped the handle with paracord. I've had an Esee-4 for years and it is sweet!

These little knives are great users and a little bit of stropping will make them razor sharp... They are just as handy as a folding pocket knife and a lot more sturdy...

 

Enjoy...

Good choice. I was at SMKW last Thursday and all the ESSEs were on sale. Probably reducing inventory in anticipation of Blade Show releases.

I pocket carry it, with the original sheath. It fits just fine in the right front pocket of my khakis or switchbacks! It's lighter than my RAT1 folder, which I gave to my daughter's fiance.  Played with it enough that I can pull it out of the sheath while it's still in my pocket.  Of course, it takes me two hands to re-sheath it. :)
