The knife itself comes with no grip scales its minimalist mentality provides you with a skeletonized full-depth handle that provides adequate area to mostly fill a medium-sized hand. Its overall length is just six and a quarter inches long, most of which is handle the drop point, non-serrated blade measures a skosh under three inches.

Here’s the deal: the ESEE Izula straddles a beautiful line in the fixed-blade size department. The knife holds some appeal due to its very minimalist nature. Why did I get the Izula? In all honesty, I wanted to take the “best knife for deer hunters” concept for a drive. The ESEE Izula with a couple great lightweight sharpening options: The Fallkniven DC3 and The Worksharp Micro. It’s a concept that works well, and I recommend it heartily. The bright color helps me keep track of my knife – whether I’m using it, or lending to others.Īlso, the color is fantastic for ensuring the knife is still on your person or strapped to your kit at a quick glance. I’ve lost back and OD green knives in the woods before by simply setting them down on the forest floor on a windy day. I selected this red-orange color because I knew I’d be using this knife outdoors all the time. You’ll notice right off the Blade HQ exclusive red-orange color (other colors such as black, Dark Earth, OD green, and “Venom” green colors are available – take your pick!).

I got my ESEE Izula from my friends at Blade HQ over a year ago. I love reading reviews and appreciate the solid baseline they provide for the unknown to be tangible – but at the end of the day, the mettle must be tested. Take the mental concept to physical reality via experience. I need to hold a piece in my hand and USE it. But honestly, I just can’t sit there and blab on about different steels, edge angles, jimping (grinding notches into the spine of the knife), and a thousand other attributes just by reviewing a picture and a tech sheet. I’ll make one thing clear up front: I am not a “Knife Guy,” though my friend has kind of taken me under his wing and opened my eyes to subtle nuances of blade design and higher-end designers and manufacturers. For convenience’s sake, they’re all assembled in the chart below: Product I mention a variety of different products and tools in this article. The ESEE Izula is a wonderful knife to take along hunting.
