## Description

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 WorksIt'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.

Review: Everyday Carry Solved! - So...sadly, I lost my pocketknife I've had for probably 25 or so years. It was a well known brand that your grandpa likely carried. I tried to replace it with the same brand and similar model, but the quality had badly suffered, and I returned it. Then I began a local search with little luck....then an online search that included many leading brands like SOG, Benchmade, Boker, and many others. I like a small knife for my actual pocket. Shorts, jeans or slacks. Nothing with 2-3" blades and bulky bodies. What am I using it for? Opening boxes, cutting zip ties, hay bales and the like. This little Everyday Carry is superb! It is razor sharp right out of the box. The blade is sturdy against the body...no play at all. Rugged construction, and the open assist is really nice...very functional. I am going to take off the pocket clip because I want an actual pocketknife, but that will be easy enough. For the money...I don't think you will find a better small size actual pocketknife. Quality seems very very good. Like a little tank.
Review: Love this knife! - It is so handy. It was smaller than I thought it was going to be, but it’s really a perfect size for someone like me who has small hands.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for EDC

Great knife for when you need something smaller and more inconspicuous. Still has the cool factor of being spring loaded.
