When you ask Lucas what drew him to the knife world as a teenager he'll tell you it was stories of survival, off path adventures with his father and a healthy dose of action movies.

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 frame lock for safety and Assisted Opening for super fast deployment. Be careful where you point it.

Squid™ Assisted

This small knife is a big deal. The Squid™ is known as the perfect everyday carry knife, expertly combining simplicity, usability, and performance. Neither brash nor flashy, it’s the humble light-duty truck of the knife world — dependable, rock solid, and remarkably capable. Now, renowned designer Lucas Burnley has reforged it into a smaller, more agile version in the Squid™ Compact. This affordable folding knife is an everyday carry for everybody.

Squid™ Compact

Refined, reinforced, and ready for anything. Melding the usability of an everyday carry with the strength and polish of a high-end custom design, the Italian-made Squid™ II Carbon Fiber is a bold reimagining of the classic Squid™ folding knife. It’s both beautiful and practical, with a Fat Carbon Dark Matter handle that gives it a striking appearance and comfortable hold. With only 500 units being produced, this limited-run Squid™ II is made to feel just as at home in your pocket as it does on display with the rest of your collection.

Melding the usability of an everyday carry with the strength and polish of a high-end custom design, the Italian-made Squid™ II Black is a bold reimagining of the classic Squid™ folding knife. It’s both beautiful and practical, with a black G10 handle for a stealthy, understated look. The Squid™ II is made to feel just as at home in your pocket as it does on display with the rest of your collection.

It’s back. But bigger. Years ago designer Lucas Burnley brought the iconic Squid™ to life. Skyrocketing in popularity as a fan-favorite compact carry, the folding knife became a top choice for those looking to strike the right balance of simplicity, performance, and functionality. Now, Lucas takes a new stab at reimagining this time-honored design, bringing us the larger SQUID™ XM. Still checking the box of being a versatile everyday carry, the longer blade length handles tasks both big and small—and is now recognized as a bit more “extra medium” in size.

Squid™ XM

The sidekick that springs into action. This Lucas Burnley everyday carry knife gleams strength and durability at the heart of its design. Complete with Assisted Opening, the knife’s flipper deploys the blade fast, teaming with the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot for added smoothness. Never worry about who’s got your back again.

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 handle available in silver stonewash or black stonewash, a frame lock for safety, and friction grooves on the drop-point blade for a secure grip. Be careful where you point it.

Squid™ Thumbstud

It Says Something About You. Just Walk Away. This tactically inspired everyday carry knife with a uniquely etched blade and cord wrapped ray-skin style handle is the true epitome of cool. Designed by Lucas Burnley of Bend, OR, the Obake™ is an artful combination of a classical knife style built with modern-day materials and techniques. It’s another example of Burnley’s belief that knives are a personal expression of independence. And this one makes a statement when you bring it out for action.

Obake™ Fixed

An American designer inspired by Japanese aesthetics. The Nishi™ fixed blade is an everyday carry built at the intersection of design and usability: the aesthetic treatment is pure beauty and the cord-wrapped handle is supreme durability. Why choose form or function when you can have both?

Nishi™ Fixed

A modern classic from a legendary designer. We reimagined the Lucas Burnley-designed Butte folding knife for this limited-edition upgrade, incorporating a carbon fiber handle and S35VN blade steel. Available only on CRKT.com, it brings a premium look and feel to an everyday carry.

Butte Deadbolt®

A modern classic from a legendary designer. Named for the hills that surround designer Lucas Burnley’s hometown of Bend, Oregon, the Butte is a folding knife that takes styling cues from standard hunting knives. Burnley calls it a “modern classic,” integrating traditional looks with the latest materials and features—including Deadbolt®, a first for a Burnley knife.

The small fish that rules any pond. Though small, the Tuna™ Compact evokes the power of one of the world’s largest and fastest fish. It takes the subtle elegance of designer Lucas Burnley’s original Tuna™ and shrinks it down into an ultra-compact folding knife. With a profile that suggests strong forward momentum and a blade shape that looks like a deep-sea carnivore, this everyday carry slices through packages and boxes faster than a Bluefin slices through the swell on a taut line.
