Product Description
The CRKT Squid is a compact everyday carry powerhouse designed by Lucas Burnley to punch well above its weight class. This model provides a high-performance narrative by pairing a wide 2.14-inch 8Cr13MoV stainless steel drop point blade with a rugged blackwashed finish that hides wear and reduces reflectivity. Inspired by the concept of a compact pistol, the Squid features a beefy frame lock for maximum security and on-blade friction grooves for enhanced grip and control. Despite its small stature, the wide blade geometry and stout stainless steel handle make it a "chunky lil' workhorse" ready for demanding utility tasks while remaining discreet and non-threatening in the pocket.
Key Features:
-
8Cr13MoV Stainless Steel Blade: A reliable high-carbon steel that offers an ideal balance of durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening for daily tasks.
-
Rugged Blackwash Finish: The durable black stonewashed coating on both the blade and handle provides an aged look that conceals scratches and withstands hard use.
-
Secure Frame Lock Safety: Features a thick stainless steel locking bar that moves behind the blade for fixed-blade-like security during heavy cutting.
