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.

This small knife is a big deal. A smaller, more agile version of the perfect everyday carry knife, the Squid™ Compact is dependable and remarkably capable. It’s loaded with features usually reserved for larger knives and includes both a thumb stud and flipper for two ergonomic opening options. Whichever you choose, the blade deploys quickly and smoothly thanks to Assisted Opening and IKBS™ ball bearings in the pivot. This model offers strong D2 blade steel and a bright orange G10 handle that’s easy to find in any environment.

This small knife is a big deal. A smaller, more agile version of the perfect edc knife, the Squid™ Compact is dependable and remarkably capable. It’s loaded with features usually reserved for larger knives and includes both a thumb stud and flipper for two ergonomic opening options. Whichever you choose, the blade deploys quickly and smoothly thanks to Assisted Opening and IKBS™ ball bearings in the pivot. This model features D2 blade steel and a blue G10 handle for a pop of color that stands out and is easy to find.

Ancient symbol. Cultural icon. Stunning knife. Inspired by the elegant wading bird, the Ibis is an everyday carry folding knife with a subtle curve along the spine of the blade, giving the knife a distinctive profile. Made with 14C28N steel, the drop point blade has a prominent belly for ample cutting edge and is well-suited for slicing tasks. Between the stonewash finish on the blade and G10 handle one could call ibis-egg blue, this edc is a striking tribute to a majestic bird. To quote Lucas Burnley on his inspired design: “It just looks good.”

It’s back. But bigger. The Squid™ XM is a versatile everyday carry just like its predecessor, but with a bit more reach from a longer blade—it’s not quite large, just “extra medium.” With a grippy G10 handle and new, earth brown color, it’s a highly functional design that’s a surprisingly capable EDC. Featuring a D2 steel drop-point blade, the knife achieves an excellent balance of tip strength and point geometry for maximum utility. When you’re ready to put it to work, Assisted Opening deploys the blade in the blink of an eye. IKBS™ ball bearings in the pivot create a super smooth action.

Built like a Bluefin. With a profile that suggests strong forward momentum and a blade shape that looks like a deep-sea carnivore, the Tuna™ everyday carry folding knife slices through packages and boxes faster than a Bluefin slices through the swell on a taut line.

Tuna Frame Lock

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.

Tuna Compact

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.

Butte Deadbolt®

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.

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

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

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

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.
