Candiru
The ESEE Candiru is a small, fixed-blade knife designed for everyday carry and self-defense. The blade is made from high-carbon steel with a black powdercoat finish, and the handle is made from textured G10. The Candiru has a full-tang construction and a double-edged blade that measures 2.9 inches long. The overall length of the knife is 6.75 inches, and it weighs 3 ounces.
The Candiru was designed by Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin, who are the co-founders of ESEE Knives. The name "Candiru" comes from a species of freshwater catfish that is known for its ability to swim up into the human urinary tract. While the Candiru knife certainly won't be swimming anywhere near your urinary tract, it is still a very effective self-defense tool.
The blade on the Candiru is sharpened on both sides, making it ideal for piercing or slashing attacks. The handle provides a comfortable and secure grip, even in wet or slippery conditions. There is also a lanyard hole at the end of the handle, which allows you to attach the knife to your belt or backpack.
The ESEE Candiru is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a small, lightweight fixed-blade knife that can be used for self-defense or everyday tasks. It's also an affordable option, with a retail price of around $60.
