ESEE Knives Izula Fixed Blade Knife with Survival Kit, Handles, Sheath, & Clip Plate (Black)
See Amazon
The original Izula in the full blackout kit: 1095 steel fixed blade, black molded polymer handles, molded sheath, clip plate, and the factory survival kit. Smaller than the Izula-II — a neck-carry or belt-carry backup that stays subdued when you install the black scales.
Why we chose this
