  • ESEE 3, Izula II, and Candiru Knife Comparison
    I recommend purchasing the ESEE 3 here: bladereviews.co...
    I recommend purchasing the ESEE Izula II here: bladereviews.co...
    I recommend purchasing the ESEE Candiru here: bladereviews.co...
    This is a very vanilla comparison of the ESEE 3, Izula II, and Candiru - 3 small fixed blades made by ESEE knives. I go over basic things like size and weight and a comparison of the features and sheathes. In-depth video reviews of each individual knife are on the way which will include things like cutting demos, and a less superficial analysis.
    For the time being I do have written reviews of the knives, which you are more than welcome to check out.

    Thanks for this video. I was debating between an Izula and an Esee 3 and really needed to see a size comparison before I ordered one.

    izula 2 made me never want a folding pocket knife ever again. i flipped the clip around and carry IWB

    i got the izula 2 first....great knife all the way around. i have a candiru as well now with the micarta slabs, both are great for edc depending on the size of knife u want to carry and whatever your states knife laws allow.

    Thanks man. I agree, the Izula II is a bit much for neck carry - I like to carry both it and the Candiru in pocket... was never really into neck carry (just felt weird to me). I actually have not checked out a SS fixed blade yet - would definitely be interested in checking one out. When I do I'll be sure to report back. Thanks for the support, glad you have been enjoying the vids! :)

    Great vid! Favorite part: "3 vs 4 finger" grip comparisons. Why? How a knife feels in your hand matters & is otherwise difficult to determine without being "hands on". Eg. The holes in my Silent Soldier Ranger are too small for my knuckles to pass through making it dangerous for neck or belt carry. Bottom line: size matters, no?

    • @Bladereviews

      Thanks, Charles. I agree with you completely.

    Really nice comparison,...appreciate!!!
    I own the Izula,...one size up from the Candru and love it!!!

    Thank you for watching man! Yes, they are all very nice knives.

    Cool comparison! I have always thaught that the izula is to big for neck carry, but the Candiru looks like a solid neck knife. I have eyed the Brous Blades silent soldier v2, if you have handelen it,NHOs dont compare to the silent soldier as a neck knife?? Love your videos! Keep doing what you are doing!!!

    Looking at one of these three for a smaller companion to an ESEE 5. Thinking Izula 2? Use will be actual ASEK/Military Survival (hopefully not!).
    Best combo with ESEE 5 opinions?

    • @flex93312

      ESEE 3, then the izula 2. I really like the 3.

  • @Bladereviews

    I see what you are saying - I guess compared to a mora or more round handled bushcraft knife it would be less comfortable. That said I've done a fair amount of cutting with it - didn't have any real issues with it. Then again, my use was more camp stuff - I'm no bushcrafter so it might be worth taking this all with a grain of salt!

    ARGH American sizing, what on earth is 5/16ths of an INCH lol, mm or cm is SO much easier. In Australia when we use inches we tend to only consider, 1/4, 1/2 and full inch otherwise we choose to use either millimetres, centimetres, Feet/Food (12 inches) or meters. its SO much easier than the US measurements. Also, we use Grams, or Kilograms for weight :) its what you grow up with i guess.

    • @ericthorpe5670
      @ericthorpe5670 5 років тому

      I know what 5/16 of an inch is when I see it. With that said it is a ridiculous measurement. I was born and raised in America and understand its units of measurement, but have always said that we should subscribe to the metric system. Multiples of 10, 100, 1000 are so much easier than using the American standard 12:1 for inches to feet, and our other ridiculous random measurements.

    • @ericthorpe5670
      @ericthorpe5670 4 роки тому

      @@40belowful I was referring to what the initial post said, but 5/32 is even more ridiculous.

    • @ironcrapprgaming
      @ironcrapprgaming 3 роки тому +1

      Mm is not easier. As an American I'll keep my measurements... thanks but no thanks lol

    For EDC the Izula hands down. If I needed an all purpose camp knife or something I might pick the ESEE-3.

    Thanks Options - more of a glorified size comparison than anything. Hope some find it helpful.

    I've got one of each and love every one of them! Like everyone says, use the right tool for the job. With these 3 and an ax you pretty much have everything covered.

    The Izula II is a little beast. My favorite knife bar none. Even feels great in the hand with nothing more then a paracord wrap.

  • @Bladereviews
    @Bladereviews  11 років тому

    Well I think the thing is the materials are probably the cheapest part of the knife - the real expense comes from manufacturing and fixed costs (and yes,that would include the ESEE marketing / branding)

    Which one do you think cuts better, the Izula or the Candiru?

  • @Bladereviews
    @Bladereviews  12 років тому

    Thanks man! I am glad to hear you found it interesting - these size comparisons aren't always the sexiest vids but I hope they help people looking to understand some of the similarities and differences. I am not sure what they were thinking exactly with the sheath - it works, but it pales in comparison to the molded plastic of the Izula.

  • @Bladereviews
    @Bladereviews  12 років тому

    My pleasure man. If there is anything I can do to help don't hesitate to ask.

  • @IvarsDayLab
    @IvarsDayLab 11 років тому

    Guys I don't understand one thing! Why Candiru cost the same as Izula1? I would like to have so small knife as Candiru, but it cost pretty much for so tiny knife! I bought Izula and it works good, but sometimes need backup so Candiru would work great but that price!!!!

    • @xlilnetx
      @xlilnetx Рік тому

      My guess is tat the candiru is so small it wil probably break easily so the go ahead and charge u 3x or more what’s it worth so they don’t lose when u send it back in

  • @Bladereviews
    @Bladereviews  12 років тому

    Thanks man, I appreciate it. ESEE makes really nice stuff - the ESEE 5 and Junglas are also very solid blades. Thanks again!

  • @Bladereviews
    @Bladereviews  11 років тому

    I'd say it's a toss up, Andrew. The Candiru is a little thinner behind the edge but the handle is much smaller making it way more difficult to cut things. Both are coated in some sort of a textured powdercoat so neither are absolute razors.

    I hear ya man, that is one of my biggest gripes with the Candiru - very expensive for a small knife.

  • @IvarsDayLab

    Looks like we more pay for esee logo :D Kinda it should cost a half of izula1, but looks like esee wants more :D

  • @Bladereviews
    @Bladereviews  12 років тому

    You will like it as a pocket knife - that's how I carry mine and it's great. It's a very useful blade for outdoors use as well as daily tasks. My pleasure as always - thanks for watching and subbing my channel! :)
