ESEE Izula-II Desert Tan Fixed Blade Knife with Survival Kit - 2.63" 1095 High Carbon Steel Drop Point Blade - Canvas Micarta Handles (IZULA-II-DT-KIT)
Product Description
Named after the formidable Peruvian bullet ant known for its unyielding toughness and aggressive survival instincts, the ESEE Izula-II is widely considered a gold standard among compact wilderness fixed blades. While the original Izula earned a massive following as a bare-bones neck knife, the Izula-II extends the handle length by a half-inch to deliver a true four-finger purchase for heavy slicing, carving, and field chores.
The foundation of this USA-made cutter is a 2.63-inch drop point blade forged from 1095 high-carbon steel. Measuring a thick 0.156 inches across the spine, it provides exceptional impact toughness and structural rigidity for feather-sticking, light batoning, and daily utility work. The steel is coated in a textured Desert Tan powder finish that shields the high-carbon matrix against rust while eliminating reflection. Crisp jimping along the thumb ramp gives you confident leverage when choking up for detailed carving tasks.
For an unshakeable grip, the full-tang frame is fitted with contoured Canvas Micarta handle scales that fill the hand without adding extra bulk to your belt line. Micarta is famous for gaining extra traction when wet or sweaty, ensuring positive knife control in any weather. This complete kit edition pairs the Izula-II with ESEE's modular survival accessory bundle—including a molded sheath, belt clip plate, paracord, cord lock, snap hook, split rings, and a loud signal whistle—giving you an all-in-one survival setup ready for the backcountry.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
Forged from 1095 high-carbon steel, the Izula-II takes an exceptionally keen edge and handles hard use in stride, but requires basic moisture protection. While the Desert Tan powder coating shields the blade flats, keep the exposed cutting edge and laser-etched logos clean and dry after field work. Applying a light pass of food-safe mineral oil or protective blade lube keeps rust away. The Canvas Micarta handle scales require zero maintenance, but can be scrubbed clean with warm soapy water if dirt or field oils build up over time.
