CRKT Squid XM 2.95" Folding Plain Black Oxide D2 Steel Gray G10 Handle

The CRKT Squid XM is a compact folding everyday carry knife designed by custom knifemaker Lucas Burnley. Built as the "extra medium" follow-up to CRKT's popular Squid, the XM stretches out to a 2.95" drop point blade while keeping the clean, utilitarian Burnley profile that made the original a hit.

The blade is cut from D2 tool steel, a semi-stainless workhorse prized for excellent edge retention, and is finished with a low-glare black oxide coating. A plain edge and dual thumb studs riding on an IKBS ball bearing pivot give the Squid XM a smooth, fidget-friendly deploy. Contoured gray G10 scales ride over an internal frame and lock up via a button lock release for safe, one-handed closing.

At 7.03" overall with a 4.11" closed length, the Squid XM rides easily in a pocket at just 3.60 oz. Whether you are looking for a reliable EDC workhorse, a budget-friendly gift, or a compact folder to throw in your pack, the Squid XM delivers Burnley's distinctive styling in a slim, easy-to-carry package.
