  • This should hopefully give you a better understanding of my highly coveted, One-Of-A-Kind special ESEE IZULA. I address the handle, where it came from, what is inside, and the sheaths I use most. If you do not own one of these knives, this video may convince you otherwise and you will undoubtedly buy one soon. It is ESEE's most versatile knife (according to experts...okay...Me) and for you to not own one, is simply irresponsible. ‪@RandallsAdventureESEE‬
    Here is the video that is more specific to my sheaths and shows even additional versions:

    I have an izula II mounted to my Bino-harness and I've skinned several mule deer with it in the Idaho Backcountry. Such a lovely knife from a truly great company. I've got 9 Esee knives and they're all top-notch tools. They also make me scoff at all this hype over "corrosion resistance" these days when I've been taking 1095 knives in to the PNW mountains in ran and snow for over 40 years and NEVER had a rust issue that couldn;t be fixed in camp with 5min of work. The Esee Izula/Izula II and the Esee 4HM are an absolute PERFECT pair for any kind of work in the back country short of chopping down trees.

      Another great comment. I too have no issue with carbon steel. Worked great for eons, and will continue to work great while people are scrambling to get the latest and greatest. In the right hands, 1095 is awesome. I vacillate between O1 and 1095 as to my preference. In all these years, I've never really decided which I like using the most.

      I have the Esee 3 and the Izula for about 12 years and now also the 6 and never had any rust on any of them. I rately put dome oil on them. The rust talk is more from couch bushcrafters I think but not from real users.

      Hello Dennis, it’s good to know, I wanted to know how your knife has aged in terms of rust? Is it still in good condition?

  • @FactFinderGeneral
    @FactFinderGeneral Před 19 dny

    I will say Armatus sheaths are some of the best for these, hence why they have a brand deal with ESEE. Kydex has to break in which is why it was tight and the thumb rap is there because that's how it's intended to be used. Less to do with the sheath and more user error / preference.

    👍 I have owned an Izula and an Izula2 (I prefer the 2). One I sold the other I gave to a friend.
    I have lived quite happily Izulaless for sometime.
    However, every time you feature the Izula in a video I get a strong urge to buy a new Izula2 and modify it.
    I have similar small knives (BPS Small EDC and CRKT Hunt’N Fisch) and don’t need an Izula2, but gosh darn it that Izula2 is one of the best small knives there is.
    Now thanks to this video I am off to a local Izula anonymous meeting.
    Having said all that, this was a good video.

    • @knifetimestory
      @knifetimestory  Před 5 měsíci +2

      Ha Ha. I hear ya. Even though I made that video...I carried both the Izula and Izula II today. Both sitting right hear on the desk. They are both awesome in their own way. I may try to make a similar handle for my Izula 2.
      Hope the meeting went well and worked for you. Keep me posted!!!

      If you leave the blood on for awhile, I'm sure it will stain, but, with water and Dawn, you can darn near make them look new again in most cases.
