The locals in Peru call the meanest, nastiest ant of the jungle by the name “;Isula”;. We know it as the Bullet Ant. The Bullet Ant is known to be independent, tough, light on its feet, and a real aggressive survivor – the Izula knife is built the same way. This knife is designed to be the perfect lightweight survival kit or concealed carry knife. The Izula II features a Canvas Micarta handle. The carbon steel knives are made from 1095 steel. And while this is a top choice for professional cutlery designed for hard use, it will rust and stain if not properly cared for – especially on the cutting edge and around the laser engraving. It is the users responsibility to keep the blades properly lubricated and cleaned.
