The compact EDC knife CRKT Squid Compact Blue by designer Lucas Burnley offers a short but robust D2 steel blade with a stonewash finish, fast one-handed opening via flipper and thumb stud, and secure frame lock. Lightweight scales made of pale blue G10 and stainless steel ensure excellent grip and durability for everyday carry.
Fast and reliable one-handed opening
The flipper and thumb studs enable smooth one-handed deployment in any situation—ideal for EDC.
Durable D2 steel with stonewash finish
The short D2 steel blade holds an edge very well, and the stonewash finish better hides scratches from everyday use.
Secure frame lock and pocket clip
The frame lock securely holds the blade, and the pocket clip ensures comfortable, discreet carry.
The CRKT Squid Compact Blue is an ideal choice for daily use when you want confidence in a small package. The 4.4 cm blade made of D2 tool steel with a stonewash finish better masks minor scratches and provides excellent edge retention. Thanks to the flipper and thumb studs, it opens comfortably with one hand, while the frame lock keeps the blade firmly in place.
The ergonomic handle combines textured pale blue G10 with stainless steel for a secure grip and long service life. A pocket clip, lanyard hole, and compact dimensions make this knife a discreet and reliable EDC tool.
