Hey guys. So i got my IZULA a few days ago and i must say this is one really nice knife. I have been EDCing it since i got it and its light weight and size make it a perfect small EDC fixed blade. It rides in my pocket and i dont even notice its there. First impressions of this knife where great. Perfect job on the finish of the blade, it sat well in the hand unwrapped but after i wrapped it in paracord, it felt a little more beefier and controlled. I haven't had the chance to really go to work on the knife yet but next week we are removing a wall from my house and putting insulation in the walls and re-wiring so it should see its fair amount of work there. I have used it to sharpen pencils, open boxes and mail, cut hard plastic cord off a box and carve a point to a stick. Also made some fuzz sticks today. The blade came pretty sharp, shaved my arm with a little bit of effort. Got my sharpmaker in yesterday so i gave it a few strokes on the fine rods and it goes right through paper now easily with no effort. Shaves my arm better too. It fits tight in the sheath and even if you shook the knife upside down, it wouldn't fall out. Sheath is nice, i just wish it had a pocket clip but im getting one made so no worries there.

If anyone has been looking for a small EDC fixed blade, this is it. Its a great knife.

Thanks to everyone here on the forums for introducing me to a great company that makes great blades and thanks to Jeff Randall and everyone at R.A.T for making these great tools. This is my first R.A.T.....it wont be my last :D

that sounds cool. i have had my izula for a little over 2 weeks and i have used it about everyday. and the coating has held up better than any other i have used, black oxide, DLC, and BT. i have yet to wrap mine. i kind of like the bare look and feel of it.
 
Congrats. I really like the factory sheath, other than being a little thick, I wish it had a continuous ridge for retention instead of the little round nubs. Then you could shove it in without worrying about slicing the nubs off. I doubt it would be cost effective for them to change the molds but IMO that would make the factory sheath perfect.

Even so, to get such a good sheath, great knife with a great warranty from a company like RAT, for the price these sell for, I think it's the best deal around.
