Columbia River Squid II Folder Santos Mahogany Wood Handle Stonewash M390 Blade

From Columbia River comes the Squid II Folder, a refined evolution of a modern everyday carry favorite designed by Lucas Burnley in Bend, Oregon. Built on the legacy of the original Squid, this Italian-made upgrade is refined, reinforced, and ready for just about anything you throw at it.

The Squid II takes everything fans appreciated about Burnley’s original design and pushes it further into premium territory. It’s still compact, pocket-friendly, and clean in profile, but now scaled slightly larger for improved usability and control. At its core is a stonewash-finished M390 blade, known for exceptional edge retention, wear resistance, and overall performance under hard use. This is a steel chosen for users who expect their knife to stay sharper longer and handle demanding tasks without hesitation.

A liner lock system brings confident, reliable lockup, giving you solid peace of mind during cutting tasks without complicating the knife’s streamlined design. Deployment is smooth and intuitive, maintaining the Squid family’s reputation for easy everyday carry functionality.

The handle is where the Squid II really stands apart. Crafted from Santos mahogany wood, it delivers a warm, rich, and classic aesthetic that contrasts beautifully with the modern stonewashed blade. The natural grain gives each knife a slightly unique character, making it feel more like a refined tool than a mass-produced piece. It’s a design that feels just as appropriate clipped in your pocket as it does sitting in a collection display.

Measuring 6.97 inches overall with a 2.68-inch plain edge blade, the Squid II balances utility with portability. The blade thickness of 0.15 inches adds strength without bulk, while the 4.25-inch closed length keeps it discreet for everyday carry. At 4.60 ounces, it has a reassuring presence in hand without feeling heavy or cumbersome.

Built in Italy with attention to detail, this limited-run Squid II represents a premium step forward for one of Burnley’s most recognizable designs. It’s familiar yet elevated, practical yet refined, and built for users who appreciate thoughtful design backed by high-end materials.
