Product Description
The CRKT Squid Assisted is a "pistol of a knife" that masterfully balances a compact, law-abiding footprint with heavy-duty tactical capability. Designed by the renowned Lucas Burnley, this model provides a high-performance narrative by pairing a 2.37-inch 8Cr14MoV stainless steel spear point blade with Assisted Opening technology for rapid-fire deployment. The all-steel construction features a rugged bead blasted finish that hides scratches and provides a professional, unified aesthetic. Built for those who need a "pocket tank," the Squid utilizes a thick frame lock for ultimate safety and the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system for a deployment that is as smooth as it is fast.
Key Features:
-
Burnley Design Philosophy: Inspired by a compact handgun, the Squid is wide and robust for its size, offering a three-finger grip that provides surprising leverage and control for intensive cutting tasks.
-
Rapid-Fire Assisted Opening: Features a spring-assisted mechanism that snaps the blade open with incredible speed via the flipper or thumb stud, making it an ideal one-handed tool for busy work environments.
-
Overbuilt All-Steel Frame: The handle is crafted from solid stainless steel with a matte bead blasted finish, providing a durable, weight-forward feel that inspires confidence during heavy use.
