First off This is a very well built ,high quality, mass production made in the USA knife . I very well think this knife would be the perfect EDC knife if the blade stock was thicker. Out of all the ESEE brand knifes this is the thinnest blade out of the lot. The Izula, and Izula 2 is a thicker stock and a substantially smaller blade, I don’t get it….? The rounded scales are a huge upgrade to the ESEE lineup. The scales fit perfectly in hand , this model the scales seem a bit thinner also ( I plan on adding some 1mm liners and that will fix this issue) Asides from the above stated issues this is a great knife and I plan on using it as my main EDC blade. The plastic sheath is well built and not big and bulky , and will work fine if you do not intend on purchasing an aftermarket sheath. If your on the fence , I would recommend buying it . It’s worth the price tag for a made in the USA blade, and the no questions asked warranty you truly can’t beat it.* images that are attached show size and blade stock COMPARISMENT .
