CRKT Squid Folding Pocket Knife: Compact EDC Straight Edge Tactical/Utility Knife with Stainless Steel Blade and Framelock Handle – Black Stonewash
July 12, 2018 - Comment
It’s a pistol of a knife: it obliterates tasks. This Lucas Burnley-designed everyday carry knife is compact in stature but packs some heat in the features department. It comes with a frame lock for safety, and friction grooves on the drop-point blade for a secure grip. Be careful where you point it.
The Squid is an everyday carry folding knife from designer Lucas Burnley of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Based on the concept of a compact pistol, it’s small in size and big on ability. Don’t let the 2.25” blade fool you; this is a full-on, tactically inspired knife that’s ready to take on your largest cutting challenges. By keeping it wide at nearly one inch and using the drop-point style, Burnley was able to give the blade a good balance of tip strength and point geometry for utility tasks, packing all the functionality of a full-size tactical folder, into an easy to carry, compact design.
Just like any good gun, you want something that’ll keep you safe. That’s why the Squid comes with an internal frame lock and deep pocket clip for a secure carry.
When you’re ready for this knife to see some action, use the thumb stud to deploy the blade.
So go ahead and bring this sidearm with you wherever you go. Just remember, it’s loaded.

No-brainer over Kershaw Shuffle This knife has been great. The reason for 5 stars is because for the price you will be hard pressed to find a better value. I purchased this and a and carried both of them for a couple of weeks. I did a lot of the usual everyday stuff like cutting boxes and other stuff during that time. What I found is that the design of the Kershaw Shuffle made me nervous about cutting…
I never carry anything else I have about 10 knives that I used to cycle through as what I carry every day (kershaws, spyderco, etc) but ever since I got this knife, I have not carried any thing else. I have carried a knife every day now for the past 2 or 3 years and this is by far my favorite. The blade is not super big but it I have not yet run into a situation where it was not enough for the task at hand. I have been extremely happy with the blade steel as it has held its edge better than any $30-$40 knife I have ever…
The perfect EDC folder, that you won’t brag about by name I recently lost my longtime favorite pocketknife and started looking for a new everyday-carry (EDC) pocket folder, with the usual practical and legal needs in mind: < 2.5″ blade, preferably drop point; lightweight with a concealable profile; easy one-handed opening; secure pocket clip; price < $20.It came down to the CRKT Squid, Kershaw Shuffle, Spyderco byrd Robin2, Gerber Paraframe Mini, Buck Scholar, and Schrade SCH101S. All good knives, but after reading the most…
