Compact yet powerful
The CRKT Squid XM is the natural evolution of the iconic Squid model: it retains the original compactness but with a slightly longer blade to offer more versatility without being bulky. The format is perfectly balanced: not too large, simply “extra medium.”

High performance in every situation
The D2 steel blade with stonewash finish is ready for heavy-duty use, offering superb edge retention and high hardness. It is ideal for daily use, at work or in leisure.

Smooth and precise opening
Thanks to the IKBS™ system with integrated ball bearings in the pivot, blade opening via thumb stud is extremely smooth and fast. A technical solution that significantly improves the user experience.

Intuitive button lock closure
The button lock system ensures safe and quick one-handed closure. Intuitive and reliable, it is also fidget-friendly for those who appreciate smooth and pleasant knife handling.

Solid and original handle
The burlap-effect green micarta handle offers excellent grip even in wet or sweaty conditions, combining mechanical strength with a distinctive, natural aesthetic.

Discreet portability
The low-profile pocket clip ensures safe and discreet carry, making the Squid XM an ideal everyday companion wherever you go.
