Product Description
The ESEE Izula II is the longer-handled version of ESEE's compact Izula, built for low-profile everyday carry or as a lightweight survival kit knife. It pairs the Izula's 2.63" blade, here in 1095 carbon steel with a black oxide finish, with tan Micarta scales for a fuller, more secure grip, at just 3.20 oz.
1095 carbon steel is a classic outdoor steel: tough, easy to sharpen in the field, and dependable for everyday cutting. ESEE runs it at 55-57 HRC. The flat-ground drop-point blade handles fine work like cutting cord, opening packages, and prepping tinder, and the black oxide finish helps protect it. The Izula takes its name from the Peruvian name for the bullet ant, an insect known for being small, hardy, and independent.
- Blade: 2.63" 1095 carbon steel drop point, black oxide finish, flat grind, plain edge, 0.156" thick, 55-57 HRC. 6.75" overall.
- Handle: Tan Micarta scales, longer than the standard Izula for a more secure grip. 4.12" handle length.
- Sheath: Injection-molded black polymer sheath included.
- Carry: 3.20 oz, light enough to add to any kit as a backup blade.
Ideal for: hikers and backpackers who want a compact backup knife with a real handle; survival kit builders who want a small, tough fixed blade; and everyday carriers looking for a low-profile fixed blade with a fuller grip than the Izula.
Care: 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless. The black oxide finish helps protect the blade but can wear at contact points, and the edge is bare steel. Keep the knife dry and lightly oiled.

What is included with the Izula II?＋

What is the difference between the Izula II and the Izula?＋

Will the 1095 blade rust?＋
It can. 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless. The black oxide finish helps protect the blade but can wear at contact points, and the edge is bare steel, so wipe the knife dry after use and keep a light coat of oil on it.
