The CRKT Q Compact in red is a 3.05-inch folding knife from Columbia River (brand part no. 7075R) designed by Richard Rogers around a simple idea: everyday carry does not have to be boring. The knife uses an intuitive Crossbar Lock, a low-profile flipper, and a full-length fuller for multiple ways to deploy the blade. A 14C28N drop point blade delivers excellent cutting performance, while the textured glass-reinforced nylon handle in red keeps overall weight down and still offers a confident, secure grip whether the knife is in a pocket or bag.
