This small knife is a big deal. The Squid™ is known as the perfect everyday carry knife, expertly combining simplicity, usability, and performance. Neither brash nor flashy, it’s the humble light-duty truck of the knife world — dependable, rock solid, and remarkably capable. Now, renowned designer Lucas Burnley has reforged it into a smaller, more agile version in the Squid™ Compact. This affordable folding knife is an everyday carry for everybody. Despite being the smallest knife in the family, the Squid™ Compact is packed with advanced features. Assisted Opening propels the blade open with a flick of the thumb and IKBS™ bearings ensure smooth opening and closing every time. It’s also built to last. The high-carbon steel blade is easy to sharpen and the stainless steel handle not only provides strength to endure for a lifetime, it gives the knife some reassuring heft in your hand. As an everyday carry, the Squid™ Compact is designed to fit seamlessly into your life. The low-profile clip lets you slip it comfortably and securely into your pocket, or use the lanyard hole to attach it to a keychain or fob. From the worksite to the campsite to the home, this is the take-anywhere tool for all those times you’ve thought, “If only I had a knife on me.” How Assisted Opening Works - It's held securely closed in your pocket, but initiate the deployment, and part way through the rotation the blade opens at impressive speed for simple, powerful, one-handed opening.
