Izula – 2.63″ 1095 Purple Plain Edge Drop Point Blade, Purple Skeletonized Handle – IZULA-PURP

The ESEE Izula is a compact fixed blade built for low-profile everyday carry or as a lightweight survival kit knife. This version pairs a 2.63″ purple-coated 1095 blade with a matching purple skeletonized steel handle and a contrasting white polymer sheath, at 1.90 oz.

1095 carbon steel is a classic outdoor steel: tough, easy to sharpen in the field, and dependable for everyday cutting. ESEE runs it at 55-57 HRC. The Izula’s 2.63″ flat-ground drop-point blade handles cutting cord, prepping tinder, and fine work, and the purple finish helps protect it. The skeletonized steel handle keeps weight to a minimum. The Izula takes its name from the Peruvian name for the bullet ant, an insect known for being small, hardy, and independent.

• Blade: 2.63″ 1095 carbon steel drop point, purple finish, flat grind, plain edge, 0.16″ thick, 55-57 HRC. 6.25″ overall.
• Handle: Purple skeletonized steel, keeping weight to a minimum. 3.375″ handle length.
• Sheath: Injection-molded white polymer sheath included.
• Carry: 1.90 oz, light enough to add to any pack or kit as a backup blade.

Ideal for: hikers and backpackers who want an ultralight backup knife that stands out; ESEE collectors who want a distinctive purple and white colorway; and everyday carriers looking for a small, tough fixed blade with personality.

Care: 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless. The purple finish helps protect the blade, but the edge and any worn areas can rust or patina. Keep the knife dry and lightly oiled.
