Is there any reason to not buy an Izula 2?

I have the Izula 2, Izula, and a Candiru. You can't go wrong with this knife. There are a lot of knives costing a lot more that do no more than these will, and many that do a lot less. The only other knife I would recommend is the Cold Steel Mini Pendleton in 3V.

I have the izula 2, but I'm really tempted by the candiru. I need to replace my Dragonfly 2 with a small fixed blade that fits into a summer short. What would you say about Candiru as an edc ?

I would say the Candiru would tend to roll around in your pocket more than the izula due to the shorter overall length. I feel the Izulas length is just enough to not protrude, but also prevent it from flopping around

Yes the Candiru has the possibility of doing that, but I have never really had that problem. I do not like neck carry, at all. So, I carry my Izulas and Candiru in my pocket. They work well. I can thumb the sheath and it flies off like it was on a spring and the knife is in my hand ready to use. Of course, putting it back is another story.

It is a great EDC and has a lot of similar characteristics to the Dragonfly, as has been noted many times. For summer, I would put some Vaseline or some other food safe protectant on the edge, but other than that, you are good to go. I often carry mine and where I live is HOT, and SALTY, and HUMID.

I bought the black Candiru and got the optional orange G10 scales from Knifeworks.com. It looks very cool.

What about the handling of the Candiru ? Does it feel good to handle ? My dgfly fits perfectly in my hand for exemple.
 
The Izula is a nice knife and has good fit and finish. Can’t think of any reasons not to buy it. Great warranty.

The Cold Steel is small enough to throw in your pocket. May be another option for you...

It feels good. In my big XXL hand it is a three finger knife, but still very comfortable. It could use some thinning towards the edge, but this is a tank of a little knife. The black blade and orange scales look great together, too.
 
Reason not to get an izula? The blade stock is too freaking thick. I’ll stick with my esee 3 hm. Excellent game knife.
 
If the Izula 2 is a bit thick, would the LT Wright Patriot be a good alternative? Instead of the Candiru?
 
There's a video on YouTube called BK14 hard use.

Watch it in its entirety, and turn English subtitles on.

Amazing!!!

Anything other than an ESEE would be great. Candiru is too thick for it's length. Many other knives with better geometry than the Izula/II.
