SHOP CASE KNIVESThe ESEE Izula Black is a compact powerhouse built for reliability in any environment. Proudly made in the USA, this fixed-blade knife is designed for those who need dependable performance in a minimalist package. Whether you're hiking deep into the backcountry, adding to your everyday carry, or building out a survival kit, the Izula delivers strength, simplicity, and purpose in one tough knife.
With an overall length of 6.25 inches, the Izula packs a 2.63-inch drop point blade crafted from 1095 high carbon steel—known for its edge retention, toughness, and ease of maintenance in the field. The blade features a flat grind for clean slicing and carving, while the black oxide powder-coated finish protects the steel from moisture and glare. The drop point profile ensures controlled cutting, piercing, and fine detail work, making it equally useful for outdoor tasks and day-to-day cutting needs.
The handle is skeletonized and finished with the same black powder coating as the blade, creating a unified, low-profile aesthetic. That coating not only resists corrosion but adds a textured, grippy feel even without scales. At just 2.0 ounces, the Izula is incredibly lightweight, and its open-frame design makes it perfect for customizing with paracord wrap or aftermarket micarta or G10 scales for added grip.
The knife comes with a molded plastic sheath and belt clip plate for secure and ambidextrous carry. Whether you carry it around your neck, mount it on your belt, or attach it to your gear, the Izula stays ready and out of the way until needed. With the sheath, total carry weight is only 3.2 ounces, keeping your gear streamlined without sacrificing utility.
The ESEE Izula Black is a favorite among military personnel, survivalists, and serious outdoorsmen for a reason—it's a knife that disappears on your body until it's time to get to work, and then it delivers without hesitation. Get yours today with SMKW!
