The CRKT Squid Black Stonewash 2.16-inch folding knife (CRKT part no. 2490KS) is designer Lucas Burnley’s compact everyday-carry Squid, finished in an all-black stonewash for a rugged, understated look. Columbia River Knife & Tool built this small folder around a drop-point blade with on-blade friction grooves that add a secure grip for detail work. A frame lock keeps the blade solidly in place once deployed, and the stonewash finish resists fingerprints and shrugs off daily wear, making it a dependable pick for pocket or bag carry.
