Columbia River Squid Compact Assisted Folding 1.75" Drop

The Squid is known as the perfect everyday carry knife, expertly combining simplicity, usability, and performance. Neither brash nor flashy, it's the humble light-duty truck of the knife world - dependable, rock solid, and remarkably capable. Now, renowned designer Lucas Burnley has reforged it into a smaller, more agile version in the Squid Compact. This affordable folding knife is an everyday carry for everybody.

It's a pistol of a knife: it obliterates tasks. This Lucas Burnley-designed everyday carry knife is compact in stature but packs some heat in the features department. It comes with a frame lock for safety and Assisted Opening for super fast deployment. Be careful where you point it.

The Squid Compact is an everyday carry folding knife from designer Lucas Burnley of Bend, Oregon. Based on the concept of a compact pistol, it's small in size and big on ability. Don't let the 1.75” blade fool you; this is a full-on, tactically inspired knife that's ready to take on your largest cutting challenges. By designing it in a drop-point style, Burnley was able to give the blade a good balance of tip strength and point geometry for utility tasks, packing all the functionality of a full-size tactical folder, into an easy-to-carry, compact design.

Just like any good gun, you want something that'll keep you safe. That's why the Squid Compact is built with the Assisted Opening innovation. Nudge the blade open part-way and Assisted Opening activates, snapping it open at super high speed and a frame lock keeps it solidly in place.

So go ahead and bring this sidearm with you wherever you go. Just remember, it's loaded.
