Like the tiny Amazonian fish it was named after, the ESEE Candiru is a tenacious little knife that packs a punch. Apart from the 2 inch cutting edge, the entire slab of 1095 carbon steel that the knife is made from is powder-coated to prevent rusting and corrosion. With its tiny size, the Candiru works like a scalpel, giving you precision and accurate cuts when you need them.

Why choose this knife?

• 1095 carbon steel blade is extremely durable
• Compact size is lightweight and ideal for concealed carry
• Powder-coated finish inhibits rust from forming
• Single-piece construction is extremely low-maintenance
• Skeleton handle design for multiple handling options
• Molded polymer sheath with integrated pocket clip

Why not?

• Short blade has limited leverage power
• Handle design doesn't have grip texture

Pro Tip:
Jimping is a term used to describe the small notches cut into the back of a knife to prevent your fingers from sliding onto the blade during use. Jimping improves overall control and is especially useful when working with thick gloves.
