CRKT Squid™ Compact

The SquidTM is regarded as one of the best everyday carry knife because it expertly combines functionality, practicality, and simplicity. It’s the modest light-duty truck of the knife industry, neither bold nor showy.

The CRKT SquidTM Compact, created by famous designer Lucas Burnley, is a smaller, more manoeuvrable version of this product.

The SquidTM Compact is the smallest knife in the family, but it is stuffed with cutting-edge capabilities. IKBSTM bearings provide consistently smooth opening and closing, while Assisted Opening drives the blade open with a flick of the thumb.

The high-carbon steel blade is made to last and is simple to sharpen. The stainless steel handle gives the knife some reassuring heaviness in your hand and offers strength to last a lifetime. The SquidTM Compact is made to be an everyday carry (EDC) and to flow naturally into your daily activities.

You may use the lanyard hole to attach it to a keyring or slip it comfortably and securely into your pocket using the low-profile clip. This is the take-anywhere tool for all those times you’ve wished you had a knife with you—whether you’re at work, camping, or at home.
