Blade Design and Performance
The drop-point blade geometry strikes an ideal balance between tip strength and cutting geometry. This design choice gives you a blade that excels at utility tasks while maintaining the durability needed for demanding work. The 8Cr14MoV stainless steel blade takes and holds an edge well, making field maintenance straightforward.
Deployment and Handling
Assisted Opening: The flipper mechanism deploys the blade with speed and authority, backed by CRKT's proven assisted opening system.
Smooth Operation: The IKBS ball bearing pivot ensures consistent, smooth blade deployment every time you need it.
Grip Control: Friction grooves on the blade spine provide maximum control during use, preventing slippage when the work gets serious.
Build Quality
The stonewashed stainless steel handle is engineered for durability and withstands hard use without complaint. A low-profile pocket clip provides secure carry, while a lanyard hole offers additional carry options for keychain or fob attachment.
The Bottom Line
The Squid is a knife that understands its purpose: reliable, everyday cutting performance from a designer who knows tactical folders. Whether you're a seasoned knife user or new to quality cutting tools, this is a knife that delivers.
