Columbia River Squid 2.27" Folding Drop Point Plain D2 Black Oxide Blue Micarta Button Lock

The Columbia River CRKT Squid is a compact everyday-carry folding knife designed by knifemaker Lucas Burnley. This Button Lock variant updates Burnley's popular Squid with a modern button lock release, pairing a slim profile with a work-ready blade steel and a durable handle material built for daily carry.

The 2.27" blade is cut in a versatile drop point profile and ground from D2 tool steel hardened to 60-62 Rc. D2 carries a low-glare black oxide coating on this model that helps resist corrosion between uses. A plain edge keeps the blade profile clean for general utility cuts.

Handle scales are blue Micarta. Closed length is 3.47", opening to a full 5.70" overall length. The button lock mechanism provides a secure lock-up during use with a thumb-actuated release. Total carry weight is 2.6 oz, keeping the Squid light enough for comfortable pocket carry.

Sized for everyday utility and finished for daily use, the Squid Button Lock is a modern take on a Burnley classic.
