That woulda been a good deal. I ordered off Amazon for about $69 shipped, so by the time I get the TKC scales I'll be about $15 over.
Hahahah! I don't know why, I can't get the character on the knife to show on camera but it isn't in new or pristine condition lol it's not like @Delkancott 's GB Izzy 2. I love the character of his. One day mine will be like that.
Thanks Bro! I know the coatings have their place, but there’s just something about smooth 1095 with a good patina. I’m thinking this Izzy 2 will be a permanent part of my edc.
Yeah that was definitely a prime motivation in stripping it, along with cleaning deer and small game.
There's nothing like patina on a well used carbon steel blade. Once the quarantine is over I might strip my 6 and 3.
The Fire Ant red Izzy isn't listed on ESEE's website but I see them for sale out there. Are they a discontinued item?
