Izula first impressions..

[milmak]

Finally got one a little while ago and am happy with it. I bought it as a reliable
working blade that I can use without the fear of injury I get from folders.
It's gone through packaging etc in the house like a hot knife through butter which, though pleasing , is nothing that a well sharpened SAK couldn't do.
Today , however, it got it's first test: prising open a window that had expanded and seized. I wouldn't even dream of doing this with my multitools/folders.
I'm really impressed, not even a slight bend, nothing. I've got a lot of confidence using this for various jobs now.

Great knife.

Anyway, here's some pics:

congrats, the izula is one tough blade

The Izula has a tendency of making your other knives take a back seat. Enjoy!

[dinozzo]

they are sure tough little guys...i pryied a .45 round out of a fence post with mine...not even close to damaging it:thumup:

I like that wrap. Enjoy it!

Can't take credit for that, chap called Lev @ BritishBlades sent it to me like that.
I'm going to swap it over to the esee scales as I find the wrap a little "thin" in the hand. I haven't tried it "au naturale" yet.....

I was using it as a craft knife tonight slicing tape up for kids project, SHARP!:thumbup:

 

[milmak]

Got somes scales (from Mindz_I).
Big improvement in feel and grip for me.

like a different knife.

I love my Izula but I have not tried scales yet.

 

[texastonydobbs]

the scales make a well loved Izula feel new again..... O-Yeah , did I mention the Izula ROCKS !!!!!!!

 

[Mindz_I]

mikmak - Glad they landed safe and sound and you like them.

They totally change the feel of the knife imo. Great bit of kit.

I love the scales. I can't wait to get some. Great pics.

 

[NoiseyCricket]

Congrats to your new Izula, its a great knife for sure. I have been thinking of getting one myself for a very long time and today I decided to do the right thing and order one... but I ended up ordering two of them

Everyone talks about supersteel this and supersteel that, personally I prefer the Izulas good old 1095, works brilliant!

Thanks.

No idea my friend! I picked it up 2nd hand, for about £1, as I recall.
Just says "No 4" and "Made in England".

 

[milmak]

Thanks Mindz_I, Noisycricket and Koda.

I definately fits the hand way better. The little finger gets a good purchase at the end of the scale.
I didn't care for the spongy feel of the cord at all.

 

[Mindz_I]

I preferred the feel of the cord gutted rather than 'full'. The scales are probably the nicest feel though.

 

[geek]

Does anyone know where to actually GET the scales right now?
Everywhere I look they are pre-order or sold out.
If you know of someplace - shoot me a PM please!

KSF mate, they're back in stock there. I am sure other places have them too
