CRKT 2486 SQUID COMPACT ORANGE G10 HANDLE D2 STEEL ASSISTED FOLDING KNIFE.

The Squid Compact 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 1.75" 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.

Just like any good gun, you want something that'll keep you safe. That's why the Squid Compact is built with the Assisted Opening innovation. Nudge the blade open part-way and Assisted Opening activates, snapping it open at super high speed and a frame lock keeps it solidly in place.

So go ahead and bring this sidearm with you wherever you go. Just remember, it's loaded.

How Assisted Opening Works

It's held securely closed in your pocket, but initiate the deployment, and part-way through the rotation the blade swings open at an impressive speed for a simple, powerful, one-handed opening.

Assisted Opening Flipper deploys the blade fast

High carbon stainless steel blade takes an edge well

On blade friction grooves for grip

G10 and stainless steel handle withstands hard use

Pocket clip provides secure carry

Lanyard hole for keychain or fob
