CRKT Q Compact Liner Lock 2.95in Bead Blast Drop Point Blade

The Columbia River Q Compact Folding Knife, designed by renowned knife maker Richard Rogers, is a sleek and practical everyday carry tool that stands out for its minimalist design and high-performance features. As a smaller version of its full-sized counterpart, the Q Compact retains all the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the original while offering a more discreet, pocket-friendly size. Its clean lines and low-profile flipper make it both attractive and easy to operate, while the addition of a floating backspacer adds a subtle, eye-catching detail.

At the heart of the Q Compact is a 2.95-inch CPM-S35VN stainless steel drop point blade. This premium steel is known for its toughness, edge retention, and resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for both everyday tasks and more demanding cutting jobs. The bead-blasted finish gives the blade a sleek, matte appearance, enhancing its understated look. The manual flipper, powered by an IKBS ball-bearing pivot system, ensures that the blade deploys quickly and smoothly with minimal effort. This knife operates with a linerlock mechanism, providing secure blade engagement for safe use during cutting tasks.

The handle of the Q Compact is crafted from lightweight aluminum, contributing to the knife's overall portability. At just 4 inches closed and weighing in at a mere 2 ounces, it's designed to be virtually unnoticeable in your pocket until you need it. The black G10 inlays on the handle not only provide a striking contrast but also enhance grip and durability. The integrated lanyard hole offers additional carry options, while the floating backspacer continues the knife's streamlined aesthetic. A stainless steel pocket clip ensures secure and convenient carry, allowing you to keep the Q Compact within reach at all times.

Whether you’re using it for everyday tasks or as a reliable backup tool, the Columbia River Q Compact delivers impressive performance in a compact, elegant package. Its combination of high-grade materials, thoughtful design, and exceptional craftsmanship make it a must-have for any knife enthusiast looking for a versatile EDC option.
