Columbia River CRKT Squid Compact Assisted Flipper Knife – D2 Stonewashed Blade, Light Blue G10 & Stainless Steel Handles (2485B)

Small in size but built with real attitude, the CRKT Squid Compact Assisted Flipper is a precision everyday carry knife designed by Lucas Burnley of Bend, Oregon. Inspired by the concept of a compact sidearm, the Squid Compact delivers fast deployment, confident control, and rugged reliability in a form factor that disappears in the pocket.

The 1.75-inch drop point blade is crafted from D2 tool steel and finished with a stonewash that helps mask wear from daily use. Despite its compact footprint, the blade geometry offers excellent tip strength and slicing performance for detailed utility work.

Assisted Opening gives the Squid Compact its signature snap. Start the blade rotation and the IKBS-assisted mechanism takes over, deploying the blade quickly and decisively. Once open, the stainless steel frame lock engages solidly, providing dependable lockup during use.

Light blue G10 scales add grip and character, paired with stainless steel for durability and balance. Whether clipped in a pocket or carried as a lightweight backup blade, the Squid Compact proves that small knives can still hit hard.
