After selling off most of my collection, everything besides my trusty small Sebenza....I came to realize that I should have a designated "Work" knife.
I decided that it would be most fitting to have a fixed blade....and I think that a smaller blade with good ergos is best for the tasks at hand.
Did some looking around and found the Izula...wow was my first impression...I need to have one.
Ordered one with a fraction of the funds that I made from selling off other knives (most on ebay, I forgot all about the exchange here...and figured 25 bux to help support the site and the fine knife people on here, what the heck, so I just recently started selling on there...sorry)
Anyways...
Got the knife today, rushed home at noon to get it, ripped open the box with my sebenza....set the sebenza down in my pickup....I didn't have any paracord, so I stole a shoelace out of one of my old boots and wrapped it up....put the Tek-Lok on the sheath, put it on my belt, and off I went, back to work.
Used it all day, stripping insulation off of #2 Alu wire, #8 & #6 Copper wire. Reaming PVC, etc, giving it a good workout...All in the freezing temperatures.
The ergonomics of this knife are amazing, fits perfect in my hand and allows total control.
This really feels like a fixed blade sebenza....
Got home and took it back out of the sheath, looked at the edge....perfect! YES! I am throughly enjoying using this tough little bastid! They don't call it an Izula for nothing. And I don't have to worry about any chit getting in it and not being able to close it. Just wipe it down and put it away.
For $41 you can't not afford to own one.
:thumbup:
My sebenza will now be carried whenever i'm not at work, and the izula is the new workhorse.
I might have to trade/sell the sebenza for a fancy sebenza.
