History of Izula Knives

In Peru, “Izula” is the common name for Bullet Ant. This creature is known for being aggressive, determined, tough, independent and light on its feet. Izula knife’s name was derived from this creature given that Izula bullet ant’s characteristics are perfect depiction of what the Izula knife is; it is designed to be the perfect lightweight survival kit or concealed carry knife.

Izula is a RAT Cutlery knife for its maker is Randall’s Adventure & Training which has been designing, marketing, and selling survival and military styled knives since 1997. Randall’s Adventure and Training? also produces a quality line of survival gear and field grade cutlery for law enforcement and outdoor bushcraft under the ESEE brand name (formerly RAT Cutlery). RAT’s concept of Izula knife began when the members of the Randall’s Adventure & Training group (RAT) perceived the need for simple, yet well built and designed blades. The knife should be affordable yet must have the necessary quality and so the Izula knife was born.
