Compact and reliable EDC knife CRKT Squid XM with a D2 steel blade in Black Stonewash finish offers smooth cutting, comfortable one-handed opening via flipper or thumb studs, and the security of a frame lock. The durable brown G10 handle fits the hand well; the clip and lanyard hole ensure easy everyday carry.
D2 steel with Black Stonewash finish
Tough D2 tool steel holds an edge excellently, and the Black Stonewash surface minimizes visible scratches — an ideal choice for daily use.
Fast one-handed opening
Choose between the flipper and thumb studs — both methods are smooth and reliable, even with gloves.
Frame lock security and comfortable carry
The robust frame lock secures the blade safely. A deep-carry pocket clip and lanyard hole enable discreet and confident EDC carry.
Looking for a versatile everyday pocket knife? The CRKT Squid XM, designed by Lucas Burnley, combines a rugged build, compact dimensions, and excellent ergonomics. Reliability is key in EDC — here it’s ensured by a blade made of D2 tool steel with a durable Black Stonewash finish that better hides signs of use.
Thanks to the dual opening system — flipper and thumb studs — you can open the knife quickly and safely in any situation. The frame lock keeps the blade solid during work.
