    The Izula is often copied and all the copies share a serial number (hilarious when you think about it).

    Great! Mine is a few numbers older, so I guess it has the newer scales that fit into the kydex.

    Is there a chart with approx ages corresponding to the numbers?

    I was lucky to score a pretty low Junglas number..... Wondering about its age?

    What was their first year of production?

    Thank you.

    It’s like a lottery number. You win if you get 51445.

    It’s the rarest esee knife ever, the unicorn of ESEEs....the Izulicorn... legend has it that the knife was quenched in the tears shed by warranty customers that had to deal with Mike. Other myths that I’ve heard whispers of claim they are Mike’s own tears but that has been debunked. Mike isn’t human enough to cry...

    Good post!:D

    ...But don't go encouraging new forum members to go out and buy one of the Chinese knockoff ESEE's that all use this specific serial number.... Encourage them to buy one of these instead!
