Izula ETA?

Last thing I saw was "soon" prices would be out.

I haven't seen anything new. Just hoping someone at Rat is pulling my name out of a hat right now on an Izula give-away.

I don't need to know the cost if I get one free...
 
The ETA is still unknown as far as i can tell they are working on getting the sheaths right.
 
I heard that they'll ship after they make them :p



But seriously, last I heard was they they're ironing out things with the sheath people.
 
Just found Rat knives on a different forum like the looks of them most of all the Izula tried to contact Rat on release date but no responce yet. Anyone here know when they will be released and pricing. Is there a waiting list or is it first come first served. Thanks for any help.
 
Welcome flor1, the Release on the Izula will be soon, still working on sheathing... once released they will be readily available for all....Continue watching the forum and RAT Cutlery website for more info
 
Maybe they're taking a page out of Jerry Busse's book... "two weeks..." All I know is that I've been anticipating the Izula for too long now.

The pink one looks a little like an easter egg, though.

I think I will go either black or desert tan on the Izula. Pink is too pink and OD too dark for my liking.
Any new info on the release date? As in "if nothing bad happens you'll have them in x weeks"?

EASTER!!! That's a whole third a year away!!!

Wait...how come I've seen people post pics of thier IZULA? Are they all contest winners?
 
I will do my best to get an update from Shon on this project this week. I'm hoping we make delivery by Christmas but I can't guarantee that.
 
Thanks for the updates jeff, its awesome that you keep us so informed amid all the Whens? and How Much?. Super excited about this knife although I couldn't stand it any longer and blew the money ive been saving on a RC-4.:D Hoping to get my First Rat Cutlery Knife soon!
 
We always start out with the best intentions when doing a new project but seem to get side-tracked by things beyond our control. I can absolutely assure everyone that the Izula is a reality, as is the RC-5 SERE and RC-6 knives. In the last month or so we have had some rather large orders coming in from government and we only have so much shop time and so many machines to produce knives on, so, once again, projects get pushed further behind. Trust me, we wouldn't be running full color ads of the Izula and RC-6 in several magazines if we didn't have the best intentions of bringing it to market.

We do our best to take care of the end user first but in the current economy we can't turn down an opportunity to do larger bulk orders for government or law enforcement. We didn't predict RAT Cutlery growing as fast as it has in such a short period of time. It's been a bit overwhelming. Typically when we announce a new project we have it scheduled to be produced on time, but it never fails that a large order will come through and shove that further back. That's exactly what has happened to the RC-6, RC-5 and Izula projects. But we will get there. We promise that.

On top of all of this, it looks like Mike and I will have to be in Peru next month for a corporate jungle training class for a group of pilots tasked with a mineral, oil and gas exploration contract. Then we have to rotate back in to Peru 6 weeks after that to train the next group, and then we have SHOT show in Orlando coming up, so you might say we're a bit busy. Not bitchin', complaining or making excuses, just saying it like it is. We feel fortunate to be busy, even though we know we have had to put off our end users and customers on some of these new projects.

Appreciate yall hanging in there with us.
 
There is nothing we hate worse than missing a delivery date. It bothers us because we have always based our company's philosophy on giving the best and most accurate information available to our customers. I was up until 2 AM this morning trying to figure a way to juggle all that we have coming up. Thank God for Shon and Becky Rowen cause they're the guys that keep the wheels of RAT Cutlery running.
