Anyone looking forward to the two new ESEE folders that should be out soon? One being the Izula folder and one the AVISPA (which should be similar to the RAT 1 folder). The AVISPA has a suggested retail of 60$ so I guess it will be at around 35$ at my US online dealer  worth a try I think...! Not too much informations out for the Izula folder though...just a picture I found.

And the ZT0566 is 186$ here in Germany  And I donīt know if I loike framelock knives with bare steel on one side... I just wish be would have something like Blade to get to hold a couple of them. Right now I like the design of the ZT300, ZT301 and the ZT350 but way to expensive to buy them just by the looks...

I like esee, they are a stand up company with good quality knives. I would have to see their folders before getting to excited though. I do enjoy my izzy 2 and esee 5. Their 1095 is no match for sr 101 though. Screwed up my 5 when accidently hitting it against my 911. Maybe I will take advantage of their warrenty and send it in to get fixed.

I would love to see the fabled esee izula folder become reality someday. Don't think mentioned my most recent folder buy- the Spyderco Stretch. Great folder! Awesome ergos and I love the blade shape. Something about it says...I'm a bad a** folder! Worked great on this trout... ![[Linked Image from i432.photobucket.com]](http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq47/richneal68/IMG_5780_zps87c35574.jpg)

It should be a good processing knife with all the belly it has.

Rich, I happen to have one of those Super Blue Stretches on it's way to me right now. I had one of the ZDP carbon fiber Stretches a while back and I loved that knife. Great ergos.

So I received my ZT 0566 and man, this sucker is NICE. I'm still getting used to the flipper instead of the thumb stud/SpeedSafe spring-opening action on my Kershaw (most fun folder to open EVER  ). Came super sharp, and the Elmax is a significant upgrade from the S30V on my Kershaw. Thanks guys for the heads-up on this one. The flipper will loosen up with use. Every time I touch my 0566 I hit the flipper. A huge difference from new to now.

quote=SkunkHunter]It should be a good processing knife with all the belly it has. [/quote] It took care of that trout lickety split! I thought it would do well, but i was surprised just how well! Rich, I happen to have one of those Super Blue Stretches on it's way to me right now. I had one of the ZDP carbon fiber Stretches a while back and I loved that knife. Great ergos. Nice! My PPT is the king for folder ergos for me and 2nd is probably between the Stretch and my Strider.
