Product Description
The CRKT Squid XM is a distinguished creation, meticulously conceptualized and executed by Lucas Burnley. This remarkable piece stands as an elder sibling to the widely admired CRKT Squid knife, mirroring its inherent quality while showcasing broader functionality. The principal attribute of this performance-focused blade is the extended proportion of its straight edge - an element purposefully crafted for effortless sharpening with exemplary durability that can efficiently dismantle any packaging material with considerable ease and precision.
This "Extra Medium" evolution features a 2.95" drop point blade crafted from premium D2 tool steel, finished in a rugged blackwash to hide wear and eliminate glare. Deployment is lightning-fast thanks to the Ken Onion Assisted Opening mechanism and the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system, providing a smooth and instantaneous response. The ergonomics are defined by a hybrid handle featuring a textured black G-10 front scale for a superior grip and a blackwashed stainless steel frame-lock side for rock-solid strength. It maintains the iconic Burnley aesthetic while offering more real estate for heavy-duty tasks.
