## Description

It’s a workhorse of a knife: it obliterates tasks. This Lucas Burnley-designed everyday carry knife is compact in stature but packs a punch in the features department. It comes with a frame lock for safety and friction grooves on the drop-point blade for a secure grip. The Squid is an everyday carry folding knife from designer Lucas Burnley of Bend, Oregon that's small in size and big on ability. Don’t let the 2.25” blade fool you; this knife is 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 folder, into an easy to carry, compact design. 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 trusty knife with you wherever you go. It may be small in stature but can handle the biggest challenges.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is there a differnce in quality between the 2 colours? im just trying to find a reason for the difference between the costs**
A: No difference in quality. Just a different finish. The black stonewash just looks better. Like an antique gun metal.

**Q: Does this come in retail packaging or the cardboard crkt box?**
A: Mine was in a small box.

**Q: Is this knife made in the USA?**
A: The knife itself was a design by Lucas Burnley in Orleans, Massachusetts.  The knife has no markings indicating where it was made other than the number
"2490" which I believe is the model number.  If you desire more information I would suggest going to www.CRKT.com/squid.  Hope this is some assistance.

**Q: What kind of steel is the blade made from? Thanks.**
A: The blade steel is 8Cr13MoV

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by G***E on 6 April 2018*

This is a good knife on a budget. Is it super cheap? No. Is it made from the fanciest steel? No. Does it have the best features? No. But is it a dependable knife? Yes. Will knife-snobs scoff at it? Yes. But you can buy 3-10 of these for the cost of their preferred knives. It was made to work, not look pretty. I find the release a little awkward, but that's likely because it's so small. I opted to carry this at work instead of a box-cutter because I just prefer a proper knife. This thing is solid, thick, and heavy. It's sturdy enough to do any job a sane man would try to accomplish with a (non Cold Steel) folder, but small enough so as not to frighten those who think that knives were made with the sole purpose of harming human-beings. It's heavy for the short blade. Very heavy. The pocket clip has excellent retention; perhaps even a bit too much. But that means it's in no danger of going anywhere. Yes it will need sharpened frequently with regular use due to budget steel. No the clip is not adjustable. No it can't be disassembled. But it's a sub twenty-dollar tank of a knife that just works and works well. It's not fancy. It's not a knife you brag about online. But if you ever lose it, you're not out $60-300 either. And while it may not be art in the form of a blade, I personally really like the plain stainless look, and I'm quite fond of this little-guy. And it IS little, so bear that in mind. I find it a positive, as many places in the US with tougher knife laws count this as a pocket knife. YMMV, of course, so be sure to check state and local laws. Ib conclusion, I consider this a good little knife, and I can't recommend it enough.
