Izula folder

[woody d]

am i the only one whos waiting to hear more info on this? checking Esee's sit all it says is:

"This knife is not being manufactured at this time. At this time we do not have a price point or additional spec to disclose. Nor do we have a timleline on actual production. Photo below is a concept design made by Tom Novak. Specs, and colors may change slightly with actual production models."

and they even go so far as to provide a pic...what a tease

They were 'in the works' May 2009 (http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/649184-Rat-Cutlery-Folders). At one point it was scrapped for another folder design, which I think has also been scrapped. I'm not sure the state of it now; maybe someone who frequents their forum knows.

The picture, is it an actual knife that one lucky person is using or just a photoshop rendition of what it could be?

It's a CAD drawing

When I first saw that drawing and discussion on the Izula folder years ago I said, "that knife will be my first ESEE (or was it RAT then )"...

Still don't own one. Take my money please!

You guys are persuasive, I'm beginning to think I WANT ONE NOW too!

I believe Jeff has said that they're currently looking for a U.S. manufacturer to produce it. They were looking at Lionsteel but I guess after the DPX stuff they decided it wasn't for them.

Little known fact: There was also an ESEE 3 folder prototype that Jeff had pics of him using it. Scrapped it because he didn't like the design.

There were actually multiple ESEE3 Folder prototypes. A few members have them. Last I heard this was a possibility again early next year, at least thats what Jeff said. A certain website has a notification up for the Izula folder...

Who'd want a Esee/Strider or Esee/Hinderer collab folder?

 

[chrisfa]

id buy it if it was priced like the izula

 

[Smokinape]

After seeing that ESEE Junglas folder prototype video I am holding out for that...

 

[jasperjb]

Are there any knives in production that look/feel similar to this? I've always wanted a folding Street Beat! .

 

[jorismo]

Hope it would be an Izula2 folder, if not I'll take the Street Beat folder as well. (I'll take most other Perrin designs for that..)
