Supposedly the ESEE Izula folder, if they ever start work on it, is going to be made in the US.

I would love to see it, I will love to have even Zancudo with slightly larger size, made in USA and with little bit better steel for the blade, in the $40-$50 price range... It is a very handy knife, I personally like it better than Rat1/2 because of the more neutral handle, the Rat is very comfortable but only in one position, at least for me...
Zancudo is truly outdoor/bushcraft shaped blade I think, very easy to manipulate the tip of the blade...
I'm hoping to make it to the SHOT Show in January, I'll definitely ask them if they'll make that Izula folder we are all hoping about... :D

Yes please report back if you find out anything on a possible Izula folder, and be careful out there.:D

The only threat I encounter on my previous visits was the porno convention next door... :D
I'll try to save at least my wife this year and will leave her home... :D
I definitely will report back, I'm sure I'm not going to be the only one here informing about the event...
I have press pass and I'm allow to take pictures but knife manufacturers are very cautious who is taking those and I fully understand it with so many counterfeits these days...
I was witness how they literally kicked out two Asian looking guys in 2012...
 
I havent ordered one yet, Wish there was a local dealer.. 5 inch knife just seems so big looking at a tape measure.. Kinda between the rat 1,2, and the utillitac 2
 
Best $35 I have spent on a knife recently was the Kershaw Thermite. Absolutely love it and would buy another in a second if something happened to this one. I like the RAT 1 too,but the Thermite has just blown me away.I have the ESEE folder on order,but haven't handled one yet to give an opinion. I also like small fixed blades. My BK14 is in my pocket almost as often as a folder and is a great knife.
 
Why the ESEE Zancudo; your search is over....



...of course, if you're looking for a slightly larger knife, then the soon to be released ESEE Avispa will fit the bill; same size as the RAT 1, and identical to the Zancudo, just its bigger brother.

Im not a fan of the cheaper spydercos or kershaws..They might be alright but Id take Taiwan over China made any day.. Ive got some Taiwan made Ratchets that I have put to the test and they outlast china(or us made craftsman) any day.. Who knows if knifes and tools have any relation to build quality but.

It really does show. I'll choose my Utilitac over any Sanrenmu made product no ifs and or buts. Though I'd even say the Tenascious is inferior to it's Sanrenmu brother the 913P.

No offesnse to anyone, but after handling some Chinese Kershaws I found them to be laughable.

I truly wish to know who makes the Utilitac for Ontario. If they can put out that kind of quality I'd love to see some of their original designs.
