Product Description
The CRKT 2490 Squid, crafted by designer Lucas Burnley from Albuquerque, New Mexico, is an outstanding everyday carry folding knife. Inspired by a compact pistol, it combines a small size with great functionality. Despite its 2.25” blade, this knife is a full - fledged tactical wonder, ready to tackle your toughest cutting jobs. Burnley made the blade nearly one inch wide and used the drop - point style, ensuring a perfect balance of tip strength and geometry for all utility tasks. It packs the power of a full - size tactical folder into a super - portable design.
Safety is key, just like with a good gun. The Squid comes with an internal frame lock and a deep pocket clip for a secure carry. When you need to use it, simply use the thumb stud to deploy the blade.
Take this trusty sidearm with you everywhere. Remember, it's always ready for action!

Using the CRKT 2490KS Squid folding knife is a breeze. When you're ready to use it, just use your thumb to press the thumb stud and the blade will deploy. The internal frame lock ensures that the blade stays securely in place during use, giving you peace of mind.
When carrying the knife, use the deep pocket clip to attach it to your pocket. This keeps it easily accessible and reduces the risk of losing it.
As for maintenance, it's important to keep the blade clean. After each use, wipe it down with a dry cloth to remove any dirt or debris. If the blade gets wet, dry it thoroughly to prevent corrosion. The black corrosion - resistant EDP coating helps protect the blade, but regular cleaning is still necessary. Also, every now and then, you can apply a small amount of lubricant to the moving parts to keep them working smoothly.
Remember, this is a sharp tool. Always handle it with care. Keep it out of reach of children and use it only for its intended purpose, such as cutting ropes, opening packages, or other general utility tasks.
