The overall length of the Candiru is 5.13 inches with a 2-inch cutting edge of 1095 high carbon steel (55-57 Rc). With a thickness of 0.125 inches (thinner than ESEE’s IZULA), the Candiru is less than 2 ounces, without the sheath. The knife comes with a baked on powder coating available in many colors.
Reuben Bloieu from ESEE Knives and Jungle Training said; “Dont pee in the water was one of the first things he learned when it came to safety in the Amazon River back in 2007. Reason being, the dreaded candiru. The TV series River Monsters has dubbed the candiru as The Amazons Most Feared Fish. Legend says that if one were to pee in the river, the urine would attract this little creature causing it to swim up and get lodged in the urethra there by requiring surgery to have it removed.
This ESEE Candiru Kit includes Candiru Neck Knife, Ambidextrous Black Molded Sheath Clip Plate, Paracord (for cord wrapping handle or use as a lanyard), Cord Lock, Snap (for snapping system on to outdoor gear), Split Ring, Fire Flint, Whistle, and Instruction Sheet.
