The ESEE Knives Izula-II is the foundational, most requested variant of the world’s most trusted survival and everyday carry micro-fixed blade, named after Peru's aggressive "Isula" bullet ant to match its tough, independent nature. Backcountry adventurers and everyday carriers often struggle to find a compact neck or belt knife that provides a full, slip-free grip without adding awkward bulk to their setup. By extending the handle frame beyond original compact designs, this versatile fixed blade offers full-hand leverage in an ultra-portable profile built for demanding utility chores.
The 2.63-inch drop-point blade is forged from bulletproof 1095 high-carbon steel and heat-treated to 55-57 HRC for superior impact toughness and easy edge maintenance using basic stones. A durable, non-reflective textured black powder coating seals the carbon steel core from moisture and field corrosion. The full-tang construction features an extended pommel with an oversized ring hole for lanyard or carabiner attachment, while the 0.156-inch spine thickness and full flat grind ensure exceptional structural strength during carving and cutting tasks. The 4.13-inch handle is fitted with Green Canvas Micarta scale overlays that absorb hand sweat and water to actively increase grip traction when wet.
Measuring 6.75 inches overall length and weighing just 3.2 ounces, this USA-crafted fixed blade ships with an injection-molded black polymer sheath and an ambidextrous steel clip plate for flexible belt, pack, or neck carry. Backed by ESEE’s legendary no-questions-asked unconditional lifetime guarantee, this black drop-point knife delivers bulletproof reliability for backcountry utility.
