ESEE Candiru Fixed Blade Knife with Molded Polymer Sheath (Grey Micarta Handle, Purple Blade)

The Candiru is a small, yet formidable parasitic fish native to the Amazon River, and the knife that bears its name shares a similar rugged nature. Featuring a skeleton frame construction and 1095 powder-coated carbon steel, the ESEE Candiru is designed to be a reliable and lightweight survival or concealed carry knife.

The ESEE Candiru is available in two handle options: Micarta and G10 Orange. Both versions feature a purple powder coating, giving the knife a distinctive and eye-catching appearance.

Proper care and maintenance are essential for the ESEE Candiru, as the 1095 carbon steel is prone to rust and staining if not properly cared for, especially around the cutting edge and laser engraving. The manufacturer recommends using a dry film rust inhibitor, such as TUF-GLIDE or TUF-CLOTH, to keep the blade in optimal condition.

ESEE Knives has a rich history, with its origins tracing back to 1997 when Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin launched Randall's Adventure & Training to bring realistic tools and knowledge to the consumer market. After years of operating in South America, the company relocated its training operations to the United States and launched ESEE Knives, a sister company focused on producing high-quality field-grade knives and gear.

In addition to the Candiru, ESEE offers a range of other knives, including the Izula, which features an overall length of 6.25 inches and a blade length of 2.63 inches. The Izula comes with a molded polymer sheath and clip plate, providing versatile carry options.
