CRKT Squid Compact Assisted Opening (2486) – 1.75″ D2 Blackwashed Plain Blade Orange G-10 and Stainless Steel Handle CR2486

Product Description

The Squid™ Compact is a smaller and more nimble version of the ideal everyday carry knife. Despite its size, it doesn’t compromise on functionality, packing features typically found in much larger folders into a pocket-friendly footprint. Designed by Lucas Burnley, this model maintains the wide-body aesthetic of the original Squid while offering enhanced portability and high-visibility styling.

The Squid Compact features a 1.75″ drop point blade crafted from premium D2 tool steel, ensuring superior edge retention and long-term durability. The rugged blackwashed finish resists corrosion and hides wear from daily use. Deployment is lightning-fast and fluid thanks to the combination of Ken Onion’s Assisted Opening technology and the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system. The ergonomics are defined by a hybrid handle—featuring a high-traction vibrant orange G-10 front scale for maximum visibility and a stonewashed stainless steel frame-lock back for brute strength. With integrated friction grooves on the blade spine for maximum control and a low-profile pocket clip, this is the ultimate “small but mighty” EDC.
