Columbia River Squid II Folder Olive Wood Handle Stonewash M390 Blade

From Columbia River Knife and Tool comes the Squid II Folder, a refined evolution of Lucas Burnley’s compact everyday carry design, now dressed in warm olive wood and built with premium M390 steel. Designed by Lucas Burnley in Bend, Oregon and made in Italy, this limited-run folder blends custom-inspired styling with practical performance in a clean, pocket-ready package.

The Squid II takes the proven DNA of the original Squid and pushes it into higher-end territory without losing what made it a favorite in the first place. It’s still compact, still easy to carry, and still built around Burnley’s signature minimalist lines, but now it’s larger, stronger, and more refined in every detail. The addition of a liner lock brings confident blade security during use, giving it a solid, dependable feel that matches its upgraded materials.

At the heart of the knife is a stonewash-finished M390 blade, a premium stainless steel known for outstanding edge retention, toughness, and wear resistance. Whether you're handling daily cutting tasks or light outdoor work, this blade is built to stay sharp longer and perform under pressure without fuss. The stonewash finish adds a rugged, broken-in look that hides wear and keeps the knife looking sharp even after hard use.

The handle is where this version truly stands out. Crafted from olive wood, it brings a warm, organic character that contrasts beautifully with the modern steel blade. The natural grain patterns run through each handle differently, giving every knife a slightly unique appearance. It’s a material choice that feels timeless in hand, offering both visual depth and a smooth, comfortable grip that only improves with age.

Measuring 6.97 inches overall with a 2.68-inch plain edge blade, the Squid II stays compact enough for everyday pocket carry while offering improved usability over the original design. The 4.25-inch closed length keeps it discreet, and the 4.60-ounce weight gives it a reassuring presence without being bulky.

With its blend of upgraded steel, refined locking mechanism, and naturally elegant wood handle, the Squid II feels like a true step forward in the Burnley-designed Squid family. It’s familiar in spirit but elevated in execution, built for users who want everyday practicality wrapped in custom-level style.
