Candiru Fixed Blade Knife with Molded Polymer Sheath (Orange G10 Handle/Black Blade/Black Sheath)

The Candiru, a small but resilient knife, is named after a nasty little parasitic fish native to the Amazon River. Crafted with a skeleton frame construction and 1095 powder-coated carbon steel, this knife is designed to be the perfect lightweight survival kit or concealed carry option. It includes a molded polymer sheath for added convenience.

ESEE Knives, founded in 1997 by Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin, was launched to bring realistic tools and knowledge to the consumer market. After years of operating under contract with the Peruvian Air Force's School of Jungle Survival in South America, the company relocated its training stateside and established ESEE Knives as a sister company to produce high-quality field-grade knives and gear.

The ESEE Candiru Black with Handle, Molded Polymer Sheath, and Clip Plate is a testament to the brand's commitment to quality and durability. Featuring a small, yet tough design, this knife is perfect for a variety of applications, from survival situations to discreet everyday carry.

The Candiru's specifications include an overall length of 5.13 inches, a blade length of 2.0 inches, and a thickness of 0.125 inches. The blade is crafted from 1095 carbon steel and boasts a textured powder coat finish, providing both corrosion resistance and a tactile grip.

ESEE carbon steel knives, such as the Candiru, are made from 1095 steel, a top choice for professional cutlery designed for hard use. However, it is important to note that 1095 steel can be prone to rust and staining if not properly cared for, especially on the cutting edge and around the laser engraving. It is the user's responsibility to keep the blades lubricated and cleaned.

To help maintain the Candiru's performance, ESEE recommends using a dry film rust inhibitor like TUF-GLIDE or TUF-CLOTH. This helps to protect the blade and ensure the knife remains in peak condition for years to come.

The Candiru is available in several handle options, including Micarta, G10 Orange, and G10 Brown. Each variant offers a unique aesthetic and grip feel, allowing users to choose the version that best suits their preferences and needs.

Overall, the ESEE Candiru Black with Handle, Molded Polymer Sheath, and Clip Plate is a versatile and dependable knife that embodies the brand's commitment to producing high-quality, field-grade tools for the modern adventurer. Whether used as a survival implement, a discreet EDC, or a reliable companion in the great outdoors, the Candiru is sure to impress with its performance and durability.
