Excellent edc knife

This little knife has a small form factor making it excellent for an every day carry. I love the finish, quality, and weight. The handle coming the way is does allows so many different customization options so you can make it truly the way you want it to be. It comes with a nice guide on how to wrap the handle with paracord if that is the way you want to do it or you can got to other websites and get custom scales to fully fill out the handle. 10/10 great knife.

just what i was looking for

I had been looking at these for a while and finally decided to pull the trigger. I'm so glad I did. Stout and tough blade that came razor sharp out of the bag. The thermoplastic sheath is the best I've seen. Better than any kydex sheath that I've ever had. A perfect fit. It also came with a wallet sized card with a few survival tips. A great idea for a carry option is to take a 2 inch section of bicycle inner tube and put it around the sheath to feed your belt through for horizontal carry. You'll never know its there. As always Knifecenters service was terrific.

THE BEST NECK KNIFE I'VE OWNED!

I use this knife for small cutting jobs (since I also carry a RAT RC-4) such as cutting paracord, opening boxes, cutting up food, and setting traps. I have been in search of the "perfect" neck knife for a long time. I get one, use it for awhile, and then eventually put it aside for one reason or another. Most are either too small, too large, too bulky, or just not useful. However, the IZULA has gone beyond my expectations. It has the correct proportions for me, the weight is perfect, and it's size is just right. I have never been disappointed with any knife from RAT Cutlery.....and I have several. They perform, they are tough, and they are made for cutting. Highly recommended!

Worth every penny

One of the other reviewers noted that this knife was too expensive. I would like to respectfully disagree. It is extremely well made, sturdy, and has the best warranty in the biz. Also, it is made in the USA, which is important when considering the price. The design is flawless. I thought that this knife was going to be too small for my grip, but it handles great. You can slip it in your pocket, mount it to a shoulder strap or belt, or hang it around your neck. This knife is a freaking home-run.

Dynamite in a small package

Just an excellent product all around. Keeps a razors edge that is super easy to sharpen, even on a simple ceramic "v" type sharpener. Tough little sucker, will cut anything you throw at it and then some. My go to knife when camping in the RV .Food prep, fire starting, any utility cutting chore you can think off. I have even opened cans with mine. Don't let the size fool you, get a fancy paracord wrap on it or micarta handles and it simply can't be beat. I own 2 of these and gave two more to my kids - one in the air force and one an outdoor nut. They love this knife as well.

Just what was looking for...

After much research towards finding just the right knife for me, this is what I settled on. I wanted something lightweight, strong, and sharp that I could carry horizontally on my belt. This knife fits my needs almost perfectly. It is sharp as hell right out of the box, and it is super lightweight. The provided sheath is very strong, and holds the knife tightly with no jiggle. However, it does not work in a horizontal belt configuration, so I found a gentleman online to make me a custom sheath. All in all, this is a great knife for anyone seeking a small, lightweight, sharp fixed blade.

Izula - Awesome Knife!

Great knife! Use it to carry in the truck and it hasn't let me down yet. Great all around knife that tackles many different tasks. Going to carry it this weekend on a gator hunt. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a compact fixed blade knife that handles anything that comes its' way. Only thing I need to add to the knife is the paracord wrap. Even without the wrap, it feels great in the hand. Thanks RAT Cutlery for a wonderful knife!

RAT Izula

This is the most comfortable necker that I've ever encountered. The blade length is sacrificed a bit to give another 1/4 inch of grip. In theory, I disliked this. But it makes all the difference when you handle it. This knife is solid. It began life as my back-up woods knife and has now become an EDC knife (along with a little folder).

awesome!

I read a lot about the izula before buying and thought I better see myself. I'm glad I did! Probably the best 50 bucks u can spend on a knife. The finish is tough and looks perfect. Razor Sharp out of the box! Even the plastic sheath works great. I carry it in my small front pocket of my jeans with a small paracord securing it to my belt and I barely know its there. I never carried a fixed blade for edc but this thing is perfect for that. I use it everyday at work and this past weekend while getting a load of wood I used it to clear some small bushes in my way and its still very Sharp.

Esee IZULA

I wanted a small, every-day carry, fixed blade knife that would be strong, and fit my hand. The Esee Izula fit the bill perfectly. It is not bulky at all, but feels substantial enough in my hand that I would feel confident to use it in any sort of heavy-use situation. The skeletal frame is good to use "as is", but I cord-wrapped it per Esee's web site instructions, and it feels better. I looked a long time for a good, small, affordable fixed blade--or "necker"--and the Izula is perfect.

Carry for an EDC, cutting hundreds of cardboard boxes every week. Use it for a fishing knife and general purpose. Keeps a great edge, with a light oil the sea water doesn't mark it. Coating is nice and strong, wont chip or mar. Couldn't ask for more in such a neat little package!

Clearly a useful knife.

This knife can do anything. For such a small blade, it makes me wonder why i even bothered spending decent money on larger knives when this one fits right in my pocket and is made of 1095. Endless ways to wrap the handle (youtube), and the blade profile is easy to use and sharpen. Only reason i've had to re-sharpen it is because it fell in some soil with large rocks in it. The edge chipped, but with virtually no loss in fine cutting ability. The epoxy coating only gets smoother with wear which is good, RAT wins the utilitarian knife fight in the art studio and in the field. The sheath is very cool. This also makes a good throwing knife should you get bored out in the woods.

I think this will replace my EDC folding knife, except for when I'm at work. Razor sharp and strong. More heavy duty than any folding knife in this blade size. I like the thickness (wish the RAT3 was this thick). The IZULA micarta handles are a must.

I love this knife. Its , sharp, light, comfortable, quick to access, vanishes under your shirt, is MADE IN THE USA, comes with the best warranty around and doesn't break the bank when you purchase it. I cord wrapped the handle just for the fun of it and it feels very nice. The knife is very well made. For being so small it "fills" your hand. The finish on these knives is excellent. Its somewhat rough which improves the grip. The sheath has a secure hold on the knife. I do think that the sheath has the potential to loosen up after extended amounts of draws. Its made of injection molded plastic, not kydex, so its less abrasion resistant. A bonus feature of the sheath is that it can be carried in multiple modes. As a neck nife is my favorite. It can be belt mounted, it can be attached to web gear or a backpack strap. An innovative way to mount it is as follows... Make a loop about 10 inches long (20 inches of cord), attach it to the hole at the end of the sheath, loop it on your belt just above your pocket it and drop the sheath, point down in your pocket. When you draw, the knife and sheath come out of your pocket and then the lanyrad will pull the sheath off of the knife. The sheath will remain on your belt until you are ready to put the knife back. The knife and sheath is so slim you can hardly feel it in your pocket. A best buy in my opinion.

I bought this knife for my brother as a gift. It is now used as a daily carry and reported as "very handy".He prefers the skeletonized handle and simply keeps the knife in his pocket with no clip with NO problems reported. I own the izula 2 and prefer the micarta and longer handles as I have large hands.Both knives arrived hair popping sharp.My use for this knife is a skinner the sits in my pack so I do not need a clip or any neck carry accessories. For this use this is the perfect blade for me.

Decent knife, should cost $20 less

This is very concealable knife despite the bulky (though functional) sheath. The trade-off is that the handle is a little small in my larger-sized hand. Cord-wrapping improved my grip. Nice finish and the razor-sharp edge seems to be holding up well. The quality of this knife is evident, however its size and simplicity of construction belie justification for its price. This knife is good, but it ain't $50+ good.

I really wanted to love this knife.

I am a knife collector and edc user. I bought this knife because of its reputation, great looks, and steel. I don't want to be the only hater on this nice little knife but I guess I am. It might see some use in the back country but for edc its just not for me. It came razor sharp and perfect fit and finish. The sheath is tight and well made but leaves a bit to be desired. I just couldn't find a comfortable way to carry it. Guess I'll stick with my Spydercos for edc.

Esse Izula

Excellent blade. Bought this as a lightweight camping and utility blade mainly for backpacking. Very good quality materials, and very versatile. The small size makes it easy to wield for simple camp jobs and is light on the hip or in pack. Very tough knife, does not bend or chip even under the heaviest abuse. Great for survival, tough for battoning, and good hunting knife too. Sheath is nice, holds knife solidly in place with no wiggle for safe carry around the neck. The skeletonized handle is not very comfortable to hold but i wrapped mine in paracord. Not only does this make it easier and more comfortable to grip, but it also assures that you will always have a few feet of paracord with you in a survival situation. For the price and versatility, it can't be beat. Only con for me was the knife's sharpness out of the box. It was pretty dull, but after a few minutes of sharpening it and wearing down the black oxidized coating, i got it to be razor sharp and once sharpened, the edge holds forever. Overall, fantastic knife and for just over $40, you can not buy a better small fixed blade.

Shucks.

I gave this knife a 4 because I can't break it. :] A knife with fives stars is probably one that's too pretty and perfect to be as indestructible as this work of metal. Repeated throws against the concrete and massive torqueage on the handle. Nada. The edge is chipped and chinked here and there, but i don't really care. This knife has proven abuse worthy.

Nice product

I haven't used this knife very much but the little use I have done with it, it has performed perfectly! The steel on this knife is a very nice choice for a blade, I believe it could take quite a beating. Sharpening it is very easy, I used the spyderco tri angle sharp maker and ended up with a very sharp edge. This could be a great survival/edc depending on your lifestyle.

Not for the tropics

this knife was obviously not meant for the tropics. anyone who does jungle survival or outdoor activities in Southeast Asia will know that the humidity and dampness are survival factors that have to be negotiated. the blade is not rust-proof and is thus a long-term problem for jungle rats in the tropics. when you're tired and sleep-deprived, the last thing you want to do is to clean and oil your knife at the end of the day. you want a knife that you can put aside with absolutely no fuss when soaked in fatigue, and then use again you need 100% performance. in such cases, stainless steel is the best. the izula is cute and sharp - but for the long-term, in the tropics, its a no-no.
