Common Questions About the CRKT Squid

Designed by Lucas Burnley, the CRKT Squid is a “pocket tank” known for its robust construction and compact profile. This series provides a reliable frame lock design that offers a hand-filling grip despite its small footprint.

What makes the CRKT Squid a popular EDC choice?
The CRKT Squid is favored for its ability to provide the toughness of a much larger knife in a size that is easy to carry daily. Its wide blade geometry and sturdy frame lock construction make it feel solid and dependable for heavy tasks while remaining discreet in the pocket.
What are the different sizes available in the Squid series?
The CRKT Squid series offers three primary sizes to suit different carry preferences: the standard model with a 2.14 to 2.27-inch blade, the Squid Compact at 1.75 inches, and the larger Squid XM with a 2.95-inch blade.
Does the CRKT Squid come in different blade steels?
Yes, the CRKT Squid series features multiple steel options including 8Cr13MoV, D2 tool steel, and 14C28N stainless steel. This variety allows users to choose between high-value options that are easy to sharpen or premium steels that offer superior edge retention.
How does the CRKT Squid handle wear and tear?
Many models in the CRKT Squid line feature a stonewashed or blackwashed finish on both the blade and handles, which is highly effective at masking scratches and pocket wear. The stainless steel frame lock construction is designed for long-term durability with very little blade play.
Is the CRKT Squid an assisted opening knife?
The CRKT Squid series includes both manual and assisted opening versions. While the original design is a manual folder, the series has expanded to include assisted flipper models and even button lock variants to accommodate different deployment preferences.
