High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for serious performance in a compact package, the ESEE Candiru Fixed Blade Knife with Survival Kit in Dark Earth is a dependable tool designed for everyday carry and real-world survival. Small enough to disappear into a pack or pocket yet tough enough for demanding tasks, this lightweight fixed blade delivers the durability and reliability ESEE is known for.
At the heart of the Candiru is a 2" drop point blade crafted from rugged 1095 carbon steel. This proven steel is prized for its toughness, reliable edge retention, and ease of maintenance in the field. A Dark Earth epoxy powder coating protects the blade from corrosion and wear while giving it a subdued, tactical appearance. The drop point profile offers excellent control and versatility, making it well suited for slicing, carving, and detailed outdoor tasks.
The skeletonized full tang construction keeps weight down to just 1.7 ounces without sacrificing strength. Its minimalist handle design allows users to wrap the tang with paracord or add aftermarket scales, creating a custom grip while keeping the knife incredibly lightweight. Measuring 5.13" overall, the Candiru is compact enough for discreet carry while still offering the strength needed for demanding situations.
A durable black molded plastic sheath keeps the blade protected and ready for quick access. The integrated belt clip makes it easy to attach to a belt, pack, or gear setup so it’s always within reach.
This version also includes a practical survival kit designed to expand the knife’s capabilities in the field. The kit features emergency paracord with a cord lock, small and large split rings for gear attachment, a ferrocerium fire starter, an emergency whistle, and a plastic snap hook for additional carry options.
