A different look at an Izula.....

[Parker]

It's growing on me, but I still think the pink stove paint will be replaced with Gunkote

Got the Izula aftermarket for cheap, the scales showed up from Derrick yesterday.

Cuts cardboard packing crates like a razor, even with the friction coat!

Pink looks good with the scales on it....

 

[Rockywolf]

I'd leave it! Looks great.

 

[gundude73]

like the looks of it man, :thumbup:

 

[snorkem]

like those scales, but they seem obtrusive

 

[333rm]

That's the first pink Izula I've seen withe scales on it, and it looks pretty good.

 

[TAGannon]

Leave the Pink. Looks pretty cool.

 

[dangreco]

Is it ok if I say the pink with the scales is butt ugly?

 

[Parker]

Not at all, actually. They make the knife usable in size-l hands, versus something too small that I'm trying to maintain a handle on.

Dan, you may certainly say that the knife is not to your liking

The texture of the coating adds some friction to fine cuts, whereas a smooth texture would not. That is the only reason I'd change it at this point.

............pin drop.

I think I'm on dan's side of the fence here. The colors just don't work well with each other.

it smoothes out nicely with use. you could sandpaper it just a bit to speed the process.

The sooner the better.

I second that emotion:thumbup:

 

[Parker]

Upon re-finish, it will still likely have a pink or neon hue to it.

Guys, this is the ULTIMATE in stealth knife technology.

Imagine your knife is either of these colors

It will sure as hell not get the reaction of "Oh My God He's Got A Knife!"

Maybe I'll redo a Panther in this color scheme as well

Whatcha think - one of these in bright pink or neon yellow?

My .........that's a big one.

 

[Parker]

If these did not trade hands at $1200-$1500 each, I would consider it seriously (maybe in neon purple )

 

[Big_Mack]

My daughter saw the pink one last year and told me she wants one. She's 3 years old.

 

[Parker]

So are you getting her one or not?

The more I carry this around and use it, the more convinced I am that the pink or a similar hue is about perfect for urban use.

Nobody sees a pink knife as a knife.

Then again, back before Cav Arms was a wet dream in someone's evening, a friend and I were really wanting either a G19 or Tec-9 completely in orange, yellow or neon green, for the same reason.

 

[choltzapple]

Would an orange gun be a good idea? I would think law enforcement would frown on that kind of thing.

Actually, I think having the gun in any bright solid color could pose some problems since that's what trainer guns look like. Am I way off base?
