ESEE Xancudo Fixed Blade Knife - 3.00" CPM-S35VN Stonewashed Drop Point Blade - Black & Orange 3D Machined G10 Handle (XAN2-006)
Product Description
Derived from the Spanish slang for "mosquito"—a homage to the aggressive biters encountered in deep jungle wilderness—the ESEE Xancudo was designed as an ultralight, high-performance fixed blade tailored for search and rescue operations, climbing, backpacking, and everyday carry. Developed originally as a fixed-blade evolution of the popular Zancudo folder, the Xancudo brings serious cutting geometry and American super steel into a low-profile footprint.
At the heart of the Xancudo (XAN2-006) is a 3.00-inch drop point blade forged from American CPM-S35VN powder metallurgy stainless steel. Ground from 0.125" thick stock, this full-flat ground blade offers exceptional slicing efficiency, micro-grain toughness, and complete corrosion resistance. The tumbled stonewashed finish hides scuffs and scratches from hard daily utility work while keeping maintenance effortless during wet, humid, or sweat-heavy field carry. Unlike carabiner-hole versions of the series, the XAN2-006 features a solid handle frame for a smooth, traditional palm fit.
The full-tang chassis is outfitted with 3D contoured Black and Orange G10 handle scales that fill the hand naturally while eliminating hot spots during prolonged cutting. High-visibility orange layering ensures the knife remains easy to spot if dropped in low light, dense brush, or leaf litter. Complete with a custom black molded polymer sheath equipped with a clip plate for versatile belt or gear attachment, the USA-made ESEE Xancudo is a zero-fail EDC fixed blade built for harsh environments.
*Bench Notes & Care Guidance:*
Forged from CPM-S35VN stainless steel, the Xancudo offers excellent rust defense and high edge retention, making it virtually maintenance-free in wet or humid conditions. The 3D machined G10 handle scales are completely impervious to water, oils, and chemical solvents. To keep the action crisp and secure in its sheath, simply wipe down the blade after processing game or messy materials, and clean any trail grit from the molded polymer sheath with warm water.
