Compact ESEE Candiru Fixed Blade Knife with Molded Sheath

The Candiru is a small but tough parasitic fish native to the Amazon River, and the knife that bears its name shares its resilience. Crafted with a skeleton frame construction and 1095 powder-coated carbon steel, the ESEE Knives Candiru OD is designed to be a lightweight yet durable survival or concealed carry knife.

Included with the Candiru is a molded polymer sheath, providing convenient and secure carry. The ESEE Candiru OD is available with several handle options, including OD powder coating paired with Micarta, orange G10, or brown G10 handles, allowing users to choose the aesthetic that best suits their preferences.

Established in 1997, ESEE Knives has its roots in Randall's Adventure & Training, a company that brought realistic tools and knowledge to the consumer market. After years of operating the Peruvian Air Force's School of Jungle Survival in South America, the founders launched ESEE Knives to produce high-quality field-grade knives and gear.

The ESEE Izula, another model in the brand's lineup, features an overall length of 6.25 inches and a 2.63-inch blade, complemented by a molded polymer sheath and clip plate. Customers can explore the full range of ESEE Knives products by visiting the dedicated store.

Regarding the care and maintenance of ESEE's carbon steel knives, it is crucial to remember that 1095 steel, though an excellent choice for professional cutlery designed for hard use, is susceptible to rust and staining if not properly cared for, especially on the cutting edge and around the laser engraving. Users are responsible for keeping the blades lubricated and cleaned, with the recommendation to use a dry film rust inhibitor such as TUF-GLIDE or TUF-CLOTH.

The Candiru OD's overall length is 5.13 inches, with a 2.0-inch blade and a thickness of 0.125 inches. Crafted from 1095 carbon steel and weighing 2.1 ounces without the sheath, this compact and robust knife is designed to be the perfect companion for lightweight survival kits or concealed carry.
