ESEE IZULA REVIEW

The IZULA Neck knife is the most recognized Skeletonized Neck Knives on the Market, it comes with a 2.875” black and stonewash drop point blade made from 1095 Steel, offers great edge retention, great wear-resistance but comes with lower corrosion resistance, This knife is designed for concealment and compact carry, if you want a little more grip you can wrap the tang in paracord or buy the Micarta handles, the knife comes with a plastic sheath with clip plate.

As you can see the size of the knife plus its cutting power makes it a very great small tool for your cutting tasks or even for self-defense, it can be easily carried, and can be even a great EDC knife, if you prefer having a small fixed blade for your daily tasks.

IZULA 2 Knife Review

This is my personal favorite in the IZULA Family, the IZULA 2, this knife automatically comes with a very grippy Micarta handle which you can remove if you want, it offers a little bit more handle length in comparison with the original IZULA, this knife comes with a 2.875” drop point blade made from 1095 Steel, It has a lot of belly in it and it offers great edge retention, great wear resistance, but comes with corrosion resistance, it has a dropped tip that adds more effectiveness to usage, the knife also comes with a black plastic sheath with clip plate and a small survival kit.

This knife is really great for your outdoor activities, camping, hiking, bushcraft, the only down said would be the corrosion resistance, you should always take some good care of it to avoid rust.
