The ESEE Knives Izula-II with Survival Kit is a desert-ready wilderness survival micro-fixed blade, named after Peru's aggressive "Isula" bullet ant to reflect its tough, independent nature. Outdoor enthusiasts and daily carriers often struggle to find a compact neck or belt knife that offers a complete, comfortable grip without adding awkward bulk to their setup. By expanding the original frame to accommodate a full four-finger hand hold, this durable fixed blade provides superior cutting torque and ergonomic leverage in a highly portable field profile.
The 2.63-inch drop point blade is forged from bulletproof 1095 high-carbon steel and heat-treated to 55-57 HRC for outstanding impact toughness and easy edge maintenance using basic stones. A thick, textured Desert Tan epoxy powder coat completely seals the carbon steel core, protecting the blade against rust and environmental wear while eliminating reflective glare. The 0.156-inch spine thickness and flat grind provide impressive structural strength through full-tang construction, anchored by an extended pommel with an oversized carabiner ring hole. The 4.13-inch handle is fitted with Canvas Micarta scales that absorb hand sweat and moisture to actively increase grip traction during heavy use.
Measuring 6.75 inches overall length and weighing just 3.2 ounces, this USA-crafted fixed blade comes bundled with ESEE's official Complete Survival Kit. The package includes a molded black polymer sheath, belt clip plate, paracord, cord lock, ferrocerium fire-starter rod, emergency whistle, split rings, and snap hooks to create a standalone emergency system. Backed by ESEE’s legendary no-questions-asked unconditional lifetime guarantee, this desert tan drop-point neck and belt knife delivers bulletproof reliability for backcountry survival.
