Review: Sharp and easy to open and close. - Love my small pocketknife. Small and very sharp. Easy to store or pack anywhere such as a purse, pocket or carry bag. I have purchased several as gifts for others and for myself. The CRKT Squid knives come with different closing and opening mechanisms, and all are easy to operate. You can use it on a camping trip or in case of an emergency. It is not your regular pocketknife.
Review: Pint sized EDC - Nice little. Well built knife. If you have bigger size hands it may be a little small to open without nicking your finger now and then. But fits in the pocket nicely

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cool
*by M***R on March 21, 2025*

Love the knife. High quality. Sharp steel. Great gift. Like the high vis color. Easier to find. The assisted opening is very fun and fidgety. A manly small knife. Make sure you are holding the knife tight as when the knife assist opens up it can flip out of your hand and if not wearing shoes…..
