Is the Izula fixed blade too much?

If you're in college, just tuck it in you backpack and leave it there until needed. Slicing can be greatly improved by reprofiling. They come with 40 degree inclusive bevels. I reprofile mine to about 27.5 degrees inclusive and it slices like a laser...plus at that angle, it is easy to touch up on a 30 degree Sharpmaker is minutes.

Depending upon the "gentility" of your urban setting you may want to have a "gentleman's knife" in your pocket for the more obvious tasks...a nice well-made pen knife with which to sharpen a pencil in an exam or whatever. A mother of pearl handle or ivory like material will freak nobody out. Keep one blade razor sharp for hangnails and the other for sharpening pencils, cutting open packages, opening envelopes, etc.

I would then have an Izula or something bigger, deep inside the backpack...which in college is EDC let's face it...for tough jobs that you may come upon.

I already have my mini case toothpick on that, and i want to add izula into my edc just because i think maybe it's nice to have a fixed blade beside that the izula look cute also :D
Maybe i'll rethink it again, since it's a carbon steel, sigh

That's true... its sheath would fit great in a backpack, too, since it's so thin. Plus, since it covers the whole knife, it wouldn't attract attention (pic from the toolguyd):

For its cost, it might be worth it to get it and just keep in your bag.
 
I think the izula will be fine like advised just check your college rules. If you want a fixed blade that looks even more docile look at an ag Russell woodswalker. They look like a small paring knife. Something that you would have in a lunch kit and it is thin and a good sliced.
