CRKT Squid Compact Folding Knife – 1.75″ D2 Steel Blade, Blue G10 Handle (2485B)

The CRKT Squid Compact (Model 2485B) delivers big performance in a slim, pocket-friendly package — making it one of the best everyday carry folding knives at its price point. Featuring a 1.75″ drop point blade in stonewashed D2 tool steel, this compact EDC knife offers exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance in a low-profile design built for daily use.

Don’t let the size fool you. The Squid Compact is loaded with premium features typically reserved for full-size folders. Dual opening options — a thumb stud and a flipper tab — give you two ergonomic deployment methods to suit your preference. Combined with CRKT’s Assisted Opening mechanism and IKBS (Ikoma Korth Bearing System) ball bearings in the pivot, the blade deploys fast, smooth, and consistently every time.

The handle is crafted from textured blue G10 with stainless steel liners, providing a secure, lightweight grip that stands up to everyday carry and light-duty tasks.
