Title sums it up, If any of yall have a necker and an Izula, would you mind putting up some side by side comparison shots? I'd like to see how thick the handles are too if possible. Thanks.
 
These aren't mine, but I saw this picture earlier today from one of the folks on KF.

I had a Becker necker. Great little knife, but no izula in my opinion. The izula, though smaller, feels better in the hand and the blade shape is more useful to me.
 
I prefer the way the point is dropped on the Izula. I find that it works better than the Becker for tip work.

Thats what I was getting at. The Becker's point is too blunt for my liking. To each their own though, its still an awesome blade.
 
hmm. the size difference isn't as much as I thought it'd be. I thought the Izula would be a lot smaller than the Necker. One thing that will probably sell me on getting the Izula over the Necker is the jimping on top of the blade.

The jimping it definately a plus. The thing about the Necker also is that the handle is quite small for even my medium sized hand. The Izula is perhaps a little more free and versatile in hand placement.
