ESEE Izula-II vs. Original ESEE Izula
The Izula-II builds on the original ESEE Izula design with an additional half-inch of handle length and full-size canvas Micarta handle scales.
Both models feature compact 1095 carbon steel blades and compatible sheath systems. The primary difference is the handle configuration.
The Izula-II is worth considering if you prefer more grip space and factory-installed handle scales. The original Izula offers a shorter handle configuration with optional scales or cord-wrapping possibilities.
