Oohhhh pretty.

I did want venom green but I went with dark earth instead.

Still a good choice!

  I could see owning a few colors.

I quite like the look of the Boker Plus GoBag.



I'm not usually a fan of tanto-esque blades, but this one is quite shallow, and looks like it might radius out nicely after a few sharpening sessions. Handle and blade are both around 76mm, which is a nice size, and you don't often see D2 blades that cheap either. Sadly, not something I have much use for anymore.

Tanto’s are one of my favorite blades styles!

Thats a great looking knife AW.  I like the blade shape a lot.

So I have a half persian kitty and a real fluff ball.

He got some clumps of hair around his neck. He laid still long enough for me to carefully cut a huge knot out. I even cut it through the thick of it. Cut like butter. Myy wife was even impressed with it!

Thanks again to Aloha for the recommendation. I wouldve overlooked this without it.

  thats great.  I've used mine quite a lot.  I never hesitate to use it hard too.  Its thinness and lightness really make me carry it often.     

[BadMechanic]

The size was actually perfect too. Not too big but not too small.

I will definitely be recommending this to others. I have yet to find a negative.

I carried my CRKT Civet just for fun yesterday.  I neck carried it as it was intended.  The day before I carried my Izula around my neck however I typically carry it in pocket when at home.  While the CRKT is noticeably smaller length and sheath plus lighter ( blade only ) 1.8oz.  The Izula at 2oz with a longer sheath feels amazing.  Yes the longer handle helps and the length/width of the blade is really nice ( as compared to Civet ) its also the simple fact its a skeleton knife.  Not having a handle to me makes this knife "feel" so much better in hand ( as compared to the Civet ).  I know a lot of folks wrap the handle but for my use its gonna remain nekkid.   

There's a lot to like about both but IF I had to choose I'd go with my Izula every time.

Very nice 

did you have to work your Izula sheath a little bit? Mine seems really stiff to pull out. Of course you want retention on it but takes a bit of strength to get it to come out

[Aloha]

Since I got mine second hand it was already broken in.  It will get easier over time for sure.

The Izula is really nice. Carried mine for ages and never failed me once, but not neck carry because I was using it so much at work, hip carry. Enjoy

Ya I may need to get a second one when I can. Maybe venom this time.

I hate having singles of things. 2 is 1, 1 is none

I understand that...my dad taught that rule to me very early. I take it a little bit further and like 3 each on something I really like.

Theres a stainless one I see on the Esee site.  If what they've done with 1095 is any indication of their ability I imagine they knock the SS out the park as well.
