CR2474BD: Lucas Burnley 2474BD Squid Button Lock Flipper Knife - Blue Micarta
Columbia River (CRKT)
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 button lock for safety and a thumb stud for super fast deployment. Be careful where you point it.
The Squid is an everyday carry folding knife from designer Lucas Burnley of Bend, Oregon. Based on the concept of a compact pistol, it's small in size and big on ability. Don't let the 2.27" blade fool you; this is a full-on, tactically inspired knife that's ready to take on your largest cutting challenges. By designing it in a 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.
New for 2025 the Squid now comes with a button lock safety mechanism. Deployed smoothly with a thumb stud and gliding on IKBS bearings, you'll think it was still assisted. So go ahead and bring this sidearm with you wherever you go. Just remember, it's loaded.

Micarta Handles
Micarta is a compressed layered composite sealed within a thermosetting plastic which creates a strong, attractive material that is impervious to water.

D2 Tool Steel
This semi-stainless tool steel offers great value, thanks to a high degree of edge retention that can often rival more expensive steels.

Pros: None
Cons: Handle Feel
Micarta is slick as glass
I bought this knife and quickly returned it. Even in my medium sized female hand, this knife is very cramped in my hand. Because of the very slick and non-textured micarta handles, which feel like smooth plastic or glass, I don't feel like a have a secure hold on this knife when deploying the blade and returned this item.

CRKT Squid Button Lock
I first saw a friend’s CRKT Squid during a cookout that he used for opening different packages. Found it to be a very nice little knife excellent for pocket EDC. Very nice finish and liked the feel and color of the Micarta handles. Considering removing the clip as I have other clipped EDCs I like to always have. Overall a great little knife in my pocket rotation.
