Product Description
The CRKT Squid™ XM is a distinguished creation, meticulously conceptualized by Lucas Burnley as the robust "Extra Medium" evolution of the widely admired original Squid. This version takes the "compact and overbuilt" philosophy to a new level, offering broader functionality and a vibrant aesthetic. With its striking violet G-10 handle and high-performance Sandvik steel, the Squid XM is a performance-focused folder built to tackle heavy-duty daily tasks with considerable ease and precision.
The Squid XM features a 2.95" drop point blade crafted from premium Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, offering an elite balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The rugged stonewashed finish hides wear from hard use while maintaining a clean, professional look. Deployment is lightning-fast and fluid thanks to the combination of Ken Onion’s Assisted Opening technology and the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system. The ergonomics are defined by a hybrid handle—featuring a high-traction violet G-10 front scale for a secure grip in any environment and a stonewashed stainless steel frame-lock back for rock-solid structural integrity.
