CR2495GR: Lucas Burnley 2495GR Squid XM Button Lock Flipper Knife – Green Micarta

Columbia River (CRKT)

It’s a pistol of a knife: it obliterates tasks. This Lucas Burnley-designed everyday carry knife is compact in stature but packs some heat in the features department. It comes with a button lock for safety and a thumb stud for super fast deployment. Be careful where you point it.

The Squid XM is an everyday carry folding knife from designer Lucas Burnley of Bend, Oregon. Based on the concept of a compact pistol, it’s small in size and big on ability. Don’t let the 2.95″ blade fool you; this is a full-on, tactically inspired knife that’s ready to take on your largest cutting challenges. By designing it in a drop-point style, Burnley was able to give the blade a good balance of tip strength and point geometry for utility tasks, packing all the functionality of a full-size tactical folder, into an easy-to-carry, compact design.

New for 2025 the Squid XM now comes with a button lock safety mechanism. Deployed smoothly with a thumb stud and gliding on IKBS bearings, you’ll think it was still assisted. So go ahead and bring this sidearm with you wherever you go. Just remember, it’s loaded.
