Yep. I took a picture of my side yard from my porch. That way I can comfortably do a video in a controlled environment, but yet still be "outside". Hope that helps.
Cool. I love both of those knives. I'm impressed with how sharp the S35VN version can get. But...I still just carry the 1095 version. I just seem to like it better, especially with my handle scales.
My s35vn Izula with their micarta scales is my favorite knife I own. I also use a tek lok for belt carry. Thanks for the look at what you’ve done with your sheaths.
Thank you sir for noticing. None are planned, but when they happen, my brain tweaks a little as I absorb what it is I just said. It's the way I'm wired.
Nope. That is the ESKABAR. A collaboration between ESEE and KaBar. The Bark River PSK EDC is super close in shape and dimensions. There are numerous others. Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment!
I've had three. Each time I buy one, I'm reminded as to why I don't have one. They just feel awkward to me. Too much blade and too little handle. I'll stick with the Izula and the Izula II.
From what I've read in the discussion forums over the years, and my own personal experience, the 2 really only offers 1/2 inch more length in the handle. That is it. Blade and everything else is exactly the same. That being said, the regular Izula is all the knife you really need. It is perfect for inside a pocket, or hanging from your neck or in a belt sheath.
Were we on the subject of the ESSE Izula? I've never had one! Hard to believe, yes, but it's true. When I did look into buying one, finally, the Xancudo was coming out and I just waited for that and bought one of those instead, thinking that it would be better. And honestly, I was SO excited when I first bought the Xancudo, but now, honestly, it's just way to small for my delicate, girlish hands... (sarcasm alert). I'm gonna gift it to a friend soon, I think. I'm not sure that the Izula or Izula 2 would be any better. I'm just tired of squarshin' my sausage fingers on a wee little knife handle. Life's become too short, as they say....
Well, if the Xancudo was small your you boy hands...then the Izula and Izula II will feel like Tic Tac's to you. Don't do it. I just like mine because for quick little jobs it works great. For any sort of extended use, no thank you.
@@knifetimestory One of my favourite hard use, cheap EDCs right now is the Cold Steel SR1 light. At a robust 6'2", I'm not a monster or anything, but I like the uncramped feeling of real estate. Plus my pockets are prolly bigger than some 32 incher, so it fits good in there. Thanks for the tip. 👍
@@knifetimestory You know when someone says, "EYE-talian instead of "Italian"? lol Keep them coming though, man!. My totally custom 3 was stolen. I'm gonna try out an s35v version this time. I definitely want to put the sheath on a diet. Hopefully it stays in one piece like your Izula necker.
That property and view looks great!
Thank you very much. That is my side yard.
@knifetimestory trust me I'm not doubting you at all, but for some reason because of your outline it looks like a green screen.

It's amazing how sharp and durable knife. Hard to only have one.
I agree! They are fantastic knives.
Another excellent video sir, thank you. Have four of them , one in s35vn. I'm a carpenter and the Izula and the esee 4 are my go to work horses.

So many good sheath mods you've done.
One knife to fit them all.
Tank you. It is a fun knife to modify. Even the sheaths.

I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave me a nice comment. That means a lot! I hope the video was helpful.
Your innuendo game is quite strong sir.
Thank you sir for noticing. None are planned, but when they happen, my brain tweaks a little as I absorb what it is I just said. It's the way I'm wired.
I stripped my Izula and did your hot spaghetti patina. It turned out amazing. The pattern looked professional. Thanks
How cool is that! So glad you gave it a try. Thanks for letting me know the outcome! Sure wish I could see it!
They are great knives and honestly I have a hard time putting it down once I pick it up! Seriously! Checks the boxes...oh yeah...
I sometimes find myself looking for something to do so I can use that knife. Weird huh?
Cool video. I have to get an Izula. Obviously it’s a very practical knife. Thanks
My pleasure. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Let me know when you get one and what you think about it.
Could you make a video on how you made the neck sheath? I want to try to do it
Thanks for the video idea. I may do that sometime in the future.
great little item that one.
I love it. But it really needs a handle. Otherwise I'd never carry it.
Very good video, thank you
Thank you very much. I really appreciate that!
Missing your videos sir... where are you?
I'm still here! Just uploaded one on a sheath from American Bench Craft. Hope you can see it. Thanks for checking in.
Excellent 👍👍
Thank you 👍. That’s very kind of you to say and I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Would the becker bk14 be considered a copy?

@@knifetimestory have you used the eskabar by any chance? I'm considering one.
I've had three. Each time I buy one, I'm reminded as to why I don't have one. They just feel awkward to me. Too much blade and too little handle. I'll stick with the Izula and the Izula II.
For the neck sheath, did you just cut it to shape or you reglued the parts?
Great question. I cut it to shape.
Are there definitive reasons by you and others why this version is preferred vs
the 2 ?

Good points my friend.
Is funny how just about everyone I know who Carries an izula has their own way of utilizing the sheath…I just horizontal carry it with paracord.
That is what makes it such an awesome knife. It is so versitile.
👍👍👍.🇺🇲🔪🔥🌲
Thank you!
Eeezula not eye zula. Love the videos but it’s killing me
No kidding? I should call ESEE and get the "official" pronunciation. I'd hate to be constantly saying it incorrectly. Thank you.
@@knifetimestory it happens lol but I do like the videos and love ESEE you can’t really go wrong with their products and their warranty
