The ESEE Candiru is a remarkably compact and versatile skeletonized neck knife. It is precision-crafted from a single piece of tough 1095 carbon steel, which is prized for its excellent durability and ease of sharpening in the field. This model features a durable black powder coat finish.

This knife is the ultimate choice for a lightweight backup blade. Consequently, it is ideal for minimalist survival kits, attachment to a pack, or as a discreet everyday carry (EDC) neck knife. The ESEE Candiru provides maximum utility in a tiny package.

The skeletonized handle can be used as-is or easily wrapped with paracord for a custom grip. Additionally, this knife includes a high-quality black molded polymer sheath, therefore providing a secure and versatile carry option right out of the box.

For a slightly larger, yet still compact, fixed blade, consider the ESEE-3 3D G-10. Like all ESEE products, this knife is proudly made in the USA. You can explore the full lineup on the ESEE Knives homepage.
