ESEE Izula Stainless Neck Knife - 2.875" CPM-S35VN Stonewashed Drop Point Blade - Skeletonized Frame, Black Sheath & Clip Plate (IZULA-35V)
Product Description
If you love the compact profile and bulletproof reputation of the legendary ESEE Izula neck knife but want superior edge retention and complete rust-proof peace of mind, the IZULA-35V is the ultimate upgrade. Named after the aggressive Peruvian bullet ant, the Izula has long set the standard for ultralight fixed blades, and this edition elevates the platform with American CPM-S35VN powder metallurgy stainless steel.
The core of this minimalist cutter is a 2.875-inch drop point blade featuring a clean flat grind and a rugged stonewashed finish that masks wear and scuffs from daily use. By upgrading to CPM-S35VN super steel, ESEE delivers a massive leap forward in edge longevity and corrosion resistance compared to traditional carbon steels. You can carry it during sweat-heavy summer hikes, humid fishing trips, or rainy backcountry excursions without worrying about surface rust or spots forming on the blade.
Built as a single-piece skeletonized full-tang frame, the IZULA-35V weighs a featherlight 2.0 ounces, making it virtually unnoticeable whether worn around the neck or clipped inside a pocket. The oversized ring pommel allows for secure finger indexing or easy extraction from its sheath. You can run the frame bare for the slimmest possible footprint, wrap it with paracord for added grip, or bolt on aftermarket Micarta handle scales down the road. Complete with a black molded sheath and ambidextrous clip plate, this USA-made fixed blade offers top-tier performance in a low-profile footprint.
*Bench Notes & Care Guidance:*
Unlike standard 1095 carbon steel Izula models, the CPM-S35VN steel on the IZULA-35V is highly corrosion resistant, making maintenance virtually effortless. It won't rust from sweat or humidity, though giving it a quick rinse and wipe-down after cutting corrosive materials or saltwater exposure is still good practice. While S35VN holds an edge much longer than standard carbon steels, touch-ups are best done using diamond or ceramic sharpeners when it eventually comes time to tune the apex.
