Blackhawk CQD Small Button Lock Knife 3.25in Black Drop Point Blade BH15M201BK

The Blackhawk CQD Small Button Lock Knife was born from the same uncompromising standards that have earned Blackhawk gear the trust of military, law enforcement, and rescue professionals around the world. Engineered for situations where performance and reliability aren’t optional, this compact yet formidable folding knife brings mission-ready design to your pocket. Every detail reflects a commitment to delivering the strength, precision, and dependability needed for both critical operations and demanding everyday use.

At the heart of the CQD Small is its 3.25-inch D2 tool steel drop point blade. Known for its exceptional hardness and edge retention, D2 steel ensures the knife can tackle everything from precision cuts to heavy-duty tasks without losing its bite. The blade’s black PVD coating not only adds a layer of corrosion resistance but also reduces glare for discreet use in tactical environments. Dual thumb studs allow quick, controlled manual deployment, while the precision-crafted button lock delivers secure lock-up during operation and smooth, one-handed closure when the job is done.

The handle is built from black fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN), a material chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio and durability under stress. Rubberized inserts provide a secure, slip-resistant grip, even in wet, muddy, or gloved conditions, giving you confidence no matter the environment. The stainless steel tip-down pocket clip ensures the knife rides securely yet remains easily accessible when you need it most. Measuring 4.75 inches closed and weighing only 3.6 ounces, the CQD Small strikes the perfect balance between portability and rugged performance.

The CQD designation—short for Close Quarters Defense—speaks to its tactical heritage. Designed for speed, control, and resilience, this knife is equally at home in a duty kit, range bag, or as part of an everyday carry setup. Whether you’re responding to a critical situation, handling outdoor challenges, or simply looking for a dependable work knife, the Blackhawk CQD Small Button Lock Knife delivers the kind of performance you can stake your reputation on.
