The CRKT Q Compact in aqua is a 3.05-inch folding knife from Columbia River (brand part no. 7075B) designed by Richard Rogers to prove that a straightforward everyday-carry knife can still stand out. It carries an intuitive Crossbar Lock, a low-profile flipper, and a full-length fuller that together allow multiple ways to deploy the blade. The 14C28N drop point blade delivers strong cutting performance for a folder this size, and the textured glass-reinforced nylon handle in aqua keeps weight down while still providing a secure grip, whether the knife is riding in a pocket or a bag.
