OK, so I decide to wear my new Izula under my shirt to dinner and a movie with friends tonight.

I didn't have time to rig up something else with para-cord, so I use the extra cord that came with my Benchmade Snody Instigator neck knife, which has a push together connection.

I make it through dinner, and just after the movie starts, I lean forward to get my soda, and CLANK my Izula, sheath and all, comes out from under my shirt, crashing to the theater floor....the benchmade cord had released itself.

I quickly picked it up and put it in my front pocket. :)
 
:D Well it could have been worse, just be glad you wasn't standing at a urinal after the movie was over and *splash*.
 
Same thing happened to me at a soccer game about 6 years ago. It was a TOPS CAT knife and it crashed on the pavement like a crash cymbol.

You should just be thankful you weren't ... doing some more unforgiving type tasks..

Can't be any worse than some jerk talking on the cell phone during the movie. I think you'll be all right, Bear. :)

When I first got my Izula I used to carry it in the same front pocket that I keep my change. One day I was at Wally World (which had an average of 30 people per check out line) and trying to get some change out of my pocket and things weren't going well. Without even thinking about it I grabbed everything in my pocket and dumped it out onto the counter (Including the Izula), got the change I needed and put everything back in my pocket. Seemed perfectly normal to me but after it was all over I realized that a number of people were looking at me pretty strangely. From that day on I always carry my Izula in my rear pocket.
 
I dropped mine the other day while using it. Had enough sense not to try and catch it, but watched it in slow motion fall, hit the concrete, clang, and bounce.

Just sharpened it too.

Landed perfectly flat on its side....with the tiniest little nick right on the tip.

Lucky.
