ESEE Xancudo Fixed Blade Knife - 3.00" CPM-S35VN Stonewashed Drop Point Blade - Black & Orange 3D Machined G10 Handle with Carabiner Hole (XAN1-006)
Product Description
Derived from the Spanish slang for "mosquito"—a nod to the relentless biters encountered in deep jungle environments—the ESEE Xancudo was purpose-built as an ultralight, high-performance fixed blade tailored specifically for search and rescue operations, climbing, backpacking, and technical field work. Designed as a fixed-blade evolution of the popular Zancudo folder, the XAN1-006 edition integrates a large carabiner hole through the pommel, allowing climbers, SAR techs, and river guides to clip the knife securely to harness loops, gear packs, or climbing hardware.
The business end of the Xancudo features a 3.00-inch drop point blade forged from American CPM-S35VN powder metallurgy stainless steel. Ground from 0.125" thick stock with a full-flat grind, this blade delivers incredible slicing efficiency, micro-grain toughness, and complete corrosion resistance. The tumbled stonewashed finish masks everyday wear and scuffs from heavy utility tasks, ensuring low-maintenance carry during wet, humid, or sweat-heavy outdoor adventures.
The full-tang chassis is fitted with 3D contoured Black and Orange G10 handle scales that fill the hand comfortably while eliminating palm hot spots during repetitive cutting tasks. The high-visibility orange layering ensures the knife stays easy to spot if dropped in low light, dense brush, or rushing water. Complete with a custom black molded polymer sheath equipped with a clip plate for versatile belt or gear attachment, the USA-made ESEE Xancudo XAN1-006 is a zero-fail tactical asset built for extreme outdoor environments.
*Bench Notes & Care Guidance:*
Forged from CPM-S35VN stainless steel, the Xancudo offers exceptional rust defense and high edge retention, making it virtually maintenance-free in wet or marine environments. The integrated carabiner hole is engineered to fit standard climbing hardware and carabiners for secure tethering while working at height or on river trips. To keep the knife in top shape, simply wipe the blade dry after processing wet or acidic materials, and rinse any trail grit from the molded polymer sheath with warm water.
