It s back. But bigger. Years ago designer Lucas Burnley brought the iconic Squid to life. Skyrocketing in popularity as a fan-favorite compact carry; the folding knife became a top choice for those looking to strike the right balance of simplicity; performance; and functionality. Now; Lucas takes a new stab at reimagining this time-honored design; bringing us the larger SQUID XM. Still checking the box of being a versatile everyday carry; the longer blade length handles tasks both big and small and is now recognized as a bit more extra medium in size. Designed by Lucas Burnley; the Squid was conceptualized as powerful in performance; but equally adaptable to everyday challenges. Whether being put to work at home; the garage; or in the office; the Squid could go with you anywhere. Following the release of the original design; Lucas hasn t stopped receiving interest from fans asking him to reimagine the popular blade as slightly larger. And in true Lucas fashion; the knife designer got to work to see what was possible. Now introducing the SQUID XM; Lucas delivers a creation that s just as iconic as the original; while still leading with functionality and user-friendly simplicity. Perfecting how this latest version would scale; Lucas didn t skip over any details ensuring that the �extra medium was just as seamless in how it performs. Just like its predecessor; the SQUID XM features a drop-point style blade; achieving an excellent balance of tip strength and point geometry for utility tasks. When you re ready to put it to work; Ken Onion s Assisted Opening deploys the blade in the blink of an eye; with the IKBS ball bearing pivot system creating a super smooth rotation. After the durable D2 blade has fulfilled its duty; you can rest easy stowing it away in your pocket its internal frame lock and deep pocket clip; making it a secure carry for on-the-go transport. The iconic design is back. Only now; it s graduated in size. 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.
