Zancudo is Spanish for Mosquito but besides its compacts size, we cannot think of another similarity between this knife and the buzzing pest. The Zancudo was designed by the survival experts over at ESEE Knives, Mike Perrin and Jeff Randall, and was produced by Blue Ridge Knives. It's an amazingly slim, well-built folder that you won't have a problem carrying and using every day. The frame lock mechanism and FRN handle, with the solid, full-length steel liners, provide serious strength to this small folder. The pocket clip is reversible but only set up for right-hand carry and the knife weighs in at exactly three ounces. It's a folder we're very excited about here at the KnifeCenter because it gets almost everything right in a folding knife, with excellent D2 tool steel, at a price point you're sure to be pleased with.
Zytel Handles
A nylon polymer that is lightweight and extremely durable, Zytel can be shaped and textured to provide excellent grip.
Pocket Clip
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
D2 Tool Steel
This semi-stainless tool steel offers great value, thanks to a high degree of edge retention that can often rival more expensive steels.
Frame Lock
Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.

Pros: Blade Material
Cons: None
Like the strong detent
This is my EDC and takes a keen edge easily. I like the less-menacing blade profile, but most of all I like how it KEEPS SHUT after you close it. Yes, it needs a firm thumb-stroke to open, but flies open and locks tightly every time. The only thing I'd change is to put a little bevel or radius on the G10 and stainless for the lanyard hole, which I did. I was afraid the one-side scale might be slippery, but I have had no problems with that.

Pros: Handle Material, Blade Material
Cons: Lock Ease of Use
Good Blade, Hard to Open
The detent keeping it shut is absurdly stiff. It makes it slow to open and has given me an odd callous on my thumb. The thumbstud is assymetrical, so on mine it's even shorter on the left side making it even harder to open left handed. Blade is excellent for the price. absolutely the best I've found. Handle is slim enough to fit easily into the pocket. The clip works fine. Just a shame that it's so hard to open and close.

You cannot open this knife one handed, the detent is WAY too deep. Really disappointed in that aspect. I tried filing it down but, whatever it’s made out of, I don’t think any material came off of it. About to take a grinder to it! The blade and handle and materials are very nice. The pocket clip is very nice and easy to use- good design. Looks and feels great. I’ve been trying to break it in for a week now to no avail. Would NOT recommend due to the detent retention.
