CRKT Burnley Squid Frame Lock Knife Natural G-10 (2.25" Black D2)

Great blade with a compact and slim design. Stylish without being loud. Great upgrades over the generic design format. Very sharp and slices great, firm lockup with a nice fit and finish. Probably one of the best lite-weight and pocketable knife options without sacrificing cutting force.

For the price you can’t beat it

My favorite knife in this size range. I adore the design of the Squid which, simple as it is, I enjoy looking at as much as using. The curves are just right, and the jade G-10 with the black coating of the blade perfectly embody its cephalopod inspiration—very squid-like. Feels great in the hand and pocket. D-2 steel gives you every reason to own this knife at this price. It came sharp, and the action was smooth. It won’t meet the tasks in a factory or warehouse, but it’s a good office carry, and I love just having it out and about, as well as for basic cutting tasks around the house.

Great little knife to have as an unobtrusive EDC. Fits in the pocket with other stuff and you can even put it in your 5th pocket. The detent was really strong on mine when I got it so I had to dedicate some time opening and closing it. The blade was nice and sharp as well as centered. You're not gonna be cutting up trees in your backyard with this guy but for the normal little things in life, it works just fine. The quality of this knife is great as well, no negatives from me. If you're looking for a weird little knife that is actually kinda cool-this is it.

This was the first knife i've owned and am psyched for it. The Jade G-10 handle with the G-2 steel looks amazing. I can't help pulling it out of my pocket and admiring it. The blade is sharp and exactly the size i need for a daily EDC. Can't wait to increase my collection in the future.

I was amazed by the small size and robustness of this blade. The D2 came out of the box incredibly sharp. Well worth the wait for this BHQ exclusive run!

The knife came sharp out of the box! The knife did not come stiff, I bought this to add to my collection. I didn’t have a knife with a Jade Handel! This would make a great gift 🎁

Shipped fast and came very sharp. It’s a great little EDC or backup knife!

The G-10 JADE makes this great EDC even better. The JADE and contrasting black is strikingly beautiful. Apparently I am not the only one who feels this way as this is the second sell out is as many offerings.

Mine showed up razor shape and ready to go to work.The natural jade G-10 is very nice. Great feel in hand.perfect lockup,strong detent. but centering on mine is a bit off .Wears well in pocket/watch pocket as well. D2 blade steel. CRKT you've done well and thank you Blade HQ for making this happen.

This Knife is a WORKHORSE. Small but packs a big punch. It may look like Ben but it hits like Iron Mike. An absolute steal. If you get a chance to buy this knife DO IT.

Love this knife, the G-10 is very nice and came razor sharp. D2 is a great steel, awesome edc!

The order delivered promptly and the knife had no quality defects. The blade is sharp and the jade handle is pleasing to the eye.

I love the overall size of the squid and it came very sharp. Locks up nice and easy to open. A few small things I didn't care for, it is much thinner than expected, which sort of makes it feel a little cheaper. I'm sure some people prefer that though. I don't care for the color either. I wish it looked like the picture, a nice jade green color. Instead, it's a more tan/off-white/clear kind of natural g10. I've dyed other g10 grips with success before, so maybe I'll just give this a dip to really make it that green color. Other than those minor things, it's a great little knife for the collection.

D2 is a great upgrade from the normal squid and the G10 scale makes it a lot lighter as well. The only problem is the lockbar somehow harder to access than the normal squid and there is a little bit of lockstick...

Great knife, although pretty stiff at first. Takes quite a bit of working in or adjusting. The handle is awesome, the blade is razor-sharp (or can get there) - but I own the Pilar Smokewash Exclusive as well & I find myself reaching for the sheepsfoot blade more often.

Very nice little knife but can for the world of me not understand why the clip is delivered this way just feels so wrong pulling it out having to turn it 180 deg to flip it open. Like the style but doubt it will ever become one of my fav knifes

This was a fun knife to play around with and I like the design, but I do feel there are some things that could be better. The gimping on the blade feels like it needs to move up just a tad further beyond the thumb studs to feel more natural. The action on mine was pretty stiff out of the box but the centering was pretty good. My personal preference would have been to gone with G-10 for both sides of the scale. Mine has some lock stick so you have to load up on the thumb stud to get it open.

I love the Squid. The design is almost perfect. I have owned 4 squids and I love giving them out as gifts. What I do wish though is that they have better quality control. Mine did come out sharp out of the box, but the action on it was not smooth and I had to clean and lube it before it was passable.
