Izula Signature Model – 2.63″ 1095 Black Plain Edge Drop Point Blade, Black Skeletonized Handle – ESIBS

The ESEE Izula Signature Model is a special edition of ESEE’s compact Izula fixed blade, with the signatures of designers Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin laser-etched on the blade. It pairs a 2.63″ black-coated 1095 blade with a black skeletonized steel handle and a black 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 black 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, black finish, flat grind, plain edge, 0.16″ thick, 55-57 HRC, with laser-etched Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin signatures. 6.25″ overall.
• Handle: Black skeletonized steel, keeping weight to a minimum. 3.375″ handle length.
• Sheath: Injection-molded black polymer sheath included.
• Carry: 1.90 oz, light enough to add to any pack or kit as a backup blade.

Ideal for: ESEE collectors who want an Izula signed by its designers; hikers and backpackers who want an ultralight backup knife; and survival kit builders who want a compact, tough fixed blade.

Carry and care: Laws on carrying fixed blades, especially concealed, vary by location, so check your local laws before carrying. 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless. The black finish helps protect the blade, but the edge and any worn areas can rust or patina, so keep the knife dry and lightly oiled.

How does this Izula compare to other Izula versions?
