Izula Scales

[ridgeline]

Great work, I love it! Kinda makes my paracord wrap look inadequate. How are the scales fastened?

 

[Mobile-eyez]

Those scales are freakin' sweet! Excellent job! Makes me want an Izula even more haha

M.E.

 

[hoopster]

Excellent Rayban! I have two questions. Do you still carry it as a neck knife? How are the scales fitted, are they recessed into the skeleton or just held in place by the rivet tension?

 

[pcboss2]

That sure looks great. good job!

 

[theman1903]

any for sale

LOL was about to ask the same question

I'm working on the sheath now, it will be leather and I'm setting it up to carry as a necker or a horizontal belt carry.
I epoxyed the scales to the skeleton frame. The front pin is actually a Corby bolt.....two parts threaded together, then the heads are grounded off....and the stainless lanyard tube is epoxed in too.
Note: the plastic sheath that came with the knife still works with it. I just prefer leather.

For sale?? I don't know that I'm ready for that. It would be pricey...we all know how much the Izula costs, plus I have about 2 hours of hands-on time in the re-handle part.

Thanks for all ya'llz kind words.

Great work!
Makes you enjoy an awesome knive even more.

 

[forestnomad]

THAT is exactly what I am looking for. Maybe I'll try to make some in orange

 

[GhostWolf]

Beautiful work. Gives the knife a whole different feel doesn't it. :thumbup:

Hey RAT guys, are you listening?
There seems to be some serious demand for the Izula scales!

Scales are nice but personally I like the gutted paracord wrap for the Izula's purpose. It's good to have options though because I can see the Izula as a good belt knife also. Which leads me to what I think would be even more of a hit than scales: A kydex sheath with belt/pocket clip for under $25.

If you just use the MOLLE lock that comes with the kit version you have your belt clip right there. I'm sure a pocket clip of some kind would be easily done, though.

Waiting on scales too.

I have about 2 hours of hands-on time in the re-handle part.

Two hours is nothing in knifemaking.

[magikbullet]

that is really cool. I thought it might be nice to have a fuller scale grip on my izula, but I carry mine horizontal on my belt and that would certainly add thickness. always tradeoffs =)

They're working on them...

Does anybody check the updates? Doesn't seem like it.

When you put scales on the izula do you have to get a new sheath?
