This one?
Yep!!
This one?
My EDC knife has most recently been the izula. I am happy with this choice what are other reliable edc knifes in your opinion is a straight blade or a folder better?
Ive been carrying an Izula 2 for edc for a few weeks now. Im a mechanic and I use it to open boxes and cut tape and hose and such. never use it as a scraper or pry bar. Im disappointed at the lack of edge retension. Sure its a sturdy knife but if it cant cut through clear packing tape... Im back to looking at folders, namely a benchmade auto of some sort. Gotta see Brad this weekend!
I plan on picking up an Izula soon.
I'm pretty excited about it. I've not carried fixed blades much before.

that video's why i bought a izula, if i were you i'd contact esse, maybe your heat treatment's not right, that knife should cut thru an engineblock and still open a box!

Yeah mine didn't even go through that much torture. Ive never had a knife sharp enough to shave with (might be my gorilla hair) but I can safely run my thumb down the blade and its only slightly sharper than a butter knife. I sharpened it when I got it with a Smiths sharpening system and still wouldn't shave. Wasn't very sharp when new.

I am not big into knifes, but I see a lot of people recommending the Izula ESSE 4's and 3's both. I am looking for a fixed blade I can use to clean game with, specifically birds or deer. I saw someone had recommend a ESSE3 but I really am just looking for anything, doesn't have to be an Izula. I currently own a buck for this and it's amazing, but my dad had it engraved and gave it to me as a gift and I feel bad about taking it out in the field, if I am using it to clean animals at home thats fine, but I don't like it getting beat up in the field or being worried about losing it.
And ESEE 3 is just about perfect for your use. Just a little shorter than the 4, but made from stock about the same thickness as the Izula, so it's a slicer. The 3 is my current favorite ESEE.
Thanks I appreciate it!
