The compact neck knife ESEE Candiru is lightweight, durable, and designed for everyday carry, outdoor, and survival. The full-fledged blade made of 1095 carbon steel with a black protective coating delivers excellent cutting performance, while the skeletonized handle with the option to wrap with paracord reduces weight and improves grip. A lightweight plastic/kydex sheath is included for safe, versatile carry on the neck or on gear.
Light yet strong: skeletonized full-tang construction
Large lightening holes in the handle reduce weight without compromising strength. Add a paracord wrap for a better grip and extra useful cordage in the field.
1095 carbon steel with black protective finish
The 1095 blade cuts great and is easy to sharpen. The textured matte black coating reduces glare and helps resist corrosion. For long service life, keep the blade dry and oil it occasionally.
Sheath for neck or gear carry
The molded sheath with multiple holes allows lanyard carry, belt mounting, or attachment to a backpack. It secures the knife safely and protects the edge during transport.
The ESEE Candiru is a small but surprisingly capable fixed blade inspired by the toughness of the Amazon. A full-tang 1095 carbon steel construction with a robust black coating ensures long life and reliability even in demanding conditions. Thanks to its compact size, it’s ideal for EDC, a backup bushcraft knife, or a discreet tool for emergencies.
The skeletonized handle with pronounced jimping on the spine provides confidence during precise cuts, while the option to add a paracord wrap tailors the ergonomics to your grip and gives you handy cordage at the ready. The slim plastic and kydex sheath enables secure neck carry on a lanyard, belt mounting, and MOLLE attachment.
