The CRKT 2474 SQUID delivers reliable cutting performance in an ultra-compact package designed for everyday carry. This folding knife combines a sharp 2.27-inch blade with ergonomic handling for users who need consistent functionality without bulk.
What Makes This Different
The SQUID features a drop-point blade geometry optimized for versatility across cutting tasks. Unlike traditional EDC knives that sacrifice blade length for portability, this design maintains a functional 2.27-inch cutting edge while keeping overall dimensions compact. The black finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces glare in tactical situations.
