Is there any reason to not buy an Izula 2?

So are you asking us to talk you out of it? Because it's a great knife that seems to check all your boxes. So if you can afford it, do it.

 

Its a small knife, that may be one con, unless you like small knives.

 

Also check out the white river backpacker. Comes with a better sheath, better steel. You can add g10 handles for $20-$25 or something like that.

 

Howdy

I have a BHQ fire ant red Izula it's my only fixed blade I regularly EDC

the sheath is awful I got myself an Armatus Carry Architect sheath which is fantastic

so no reason not to get one

 

Love my Izula, can't go wrong with the 2.
Go for it, it's a wonderful little blade.

 

Because the ESEE 3 doesn’t have a weird hole in the handle.

 

It's nice, especially with TKC scales. Kinda thick behind the edge though.

 

Do any of us really need a reason not to buy? What a horrible concept.

 

my favorite small fixed blade

 

I've really been liking mine since I got it a few weeks ago. Haven't use it a lot yet but it's a great little blade.

 

Last year I bought an old USA Carbon V Recon Tanto that I like a lot. It’s long and slender. Got a helluva deal just a little used on the ‘bay at about $55. Old ones come with a decent leather sheath. I may get a kydex one for it at some point.

 

I know there are mixed opinions on the maker but I really like my DPX HEST. It’s one of my favorite fixed blades.

 

It does have little blade disease

 

Only if you find something else you like better
The Izula is a nice knife and I have had a couple over the years-multiple carry options.
They re-sell well if you decide it isn't for you

 

It’s a nice knife which was made better by the longer grip for it. I didn’t have one of these. I opted for the BK 14, then sold it to buy a BK 24.

 

You will not be talked out of it here.
Do it!!!

 

Don’t do it.

 

That was my path as well buying the BK-14 first and BK-24 second. Ultimately I preferred the BK-14 for ease of sharpening. That said, I use the White River Backpacker Pro more now since I got it and the little BK's stay at home for the most part.

My biggest criticism of these little blades is that they tend to be a bit thick behind the edge as noted earlier in the thread.

 

I like it as a small fixed blade for general use rather than food prep. I have a convex edge on mine with the thought of using it for field dressing, but that has not happened yet. I made a set of scales for it.
