If more specific photo`s are needed just ask and i will see what i can do ;)
 
Thanks for the photos! I've been eyeing that Enyo for a while, wondering if I'm going to spend the cash and go for it. The first time I saw it I thought it really resembeled the Izula in size and shape. The only thing is it's a hell of a lot more money! I already have a few Izula's so I'm not sure on the Enyo, but it is a great lookin' knife.

i would go Izula...the design of the Enyo seems to be cool but I don't see the utility of it. For the $70 price difference I don't see a noticeable increase in the value. While Spartan clearly makes a quality product on paper, having never handled one, I also see that their warranty has a lot of "what they don't cover". I would rather pay less and get a superior warranty for a product i know is solid from a company I know I like. Again, not saying Spartan is bad quality (they look to be very high quality)...just anything but spartan and IMO overpriced in comparison of value.

Here is the Spartan "what we don't cover" warranty:
All Spartan Blades products come with a Lifetime Warranty to original owner on materials, finish and craftsmanship.

Spartan Blades assumes no liability or responsibility for the mis-use, neglect or poor judgement of a owner / user of our products.I wonder who decides if your judgement was poor.

This Warranty does not cover normal wear, resharpening of the blade, damage caused by neglect, misuse or the failure to perform normal or necessary maintenance, disassembly of any knife by any person other than Spartan Blades’ Warranty department, or shipping costs for returned knives.
Do not use your knife as a screwdriver, pry bar, chisel or punch. Do not throw your knife or use it for any purpose other than cutting. Do not disassemble your knife. Do not sharpen your knife on a power grinding wheel. Any of these acts will void your Warranty. MINIMUM CHARGE TO REASSEMBLE A KNIFE WHEN THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN VOIDED IS $20 PLUS REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Repair or replacement as provided under this Warranty is the exclusive remedy of the consumer. Spartan Blades shall not be liable for any incidental, reliance, or consequential damages or breach of implied Warranty on this product, including any damage to person or property. Spartan Blades’ liability under any circumstances is limited to the purchase price. Some states do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
This knife has only one use, as a cutting tool. Spartan Blades’ knives carry no warranty except as expressly contained herein. Spartan Blades disclaims all warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose other than for use as a cutting tool. There are no warranties which extend beyond the description contained herein. Please review the Warranty information and proper knife care / safety instructions provided with each knife.

I prefer the ESEE warranty:
No Questions Asked Warranty. If you screw it up, break it, or cut it in two with a cutting torch, send it back and we'll replace it. Warranty is transferable. In other words, we warranty the knife no matter how many times it's been traded, sold or given away. We don't ask for a sales receipt, date of purchase or where you bought the knife - No fine print and no hassles.

Nuff said.
 
I would say they are DEFINITELY comparable when you are only looking at the knife itself. As soon as you bring price and warranty into it the Enyo loses easily.

Hmm....As knives they are good competitors, small fixed pocket/neck knives. But then again, the price range is IMO the reason you cant do a V.S. between these 2 knives. Then u should test it between more small fixed blades and see if price/quality etc is really a huge difference. But then again, you cant beat the izula for its price range and already proven quality :rolleyes:
 
I think the Enyo looks a lot more Tacticool but I am not convinced that it would be as versatile in the wild as the Izula. Looks wise they are two different flavors of vanilla, and I luv vanilla.
 
Not even counting the better price, and of course the better warranty, the Izula takes it IMO because of one characteristic: the jimping on the blade spine is a bit further down the blade, effectively making the handle a bit longer. Since both are so petit knifes, a bigger handle is better for comfort.
 
Also, the Enyo is saber-ground, vs. the Izula's flat grind, meaning the Izula will be the more efficient slicer.
 
The Izula looks less (for want of a better term) aggressive then the Enyo.This would make it easier to explain as an EDC blade which is an important consideration for some of us.Afterall we don't want to frighten the sheeple do we.
 
Let's see Spartan make that in Pink and show off the Kewl Grinds, eh?

The chicks dig my pink neck knife. It's even better than a puppy :D
 
i think of the Enyo as a small fighter knife, the Izula is more of a utility blade IMO, they each have their own purpose.
