I got this on a whim having read a few reviews. But once I opened the box and felt the weight balance and feel of this little knife, a smile spread across my face. The action was a little tight but a couple of drops of gun oil and centering the blade with my torque driver turned it silky smooth. Everything about it is right from the size and thickness of the blade to the placement of the jumping, it just fits the hand perfectly. No easy feat for a small knife. Put a small bright yellow snake knot paracord lanyard and sat back and fidgeted with the thing while watching tv. Yes I’m going to enjoy this little guy and so will you. Get one!

This is a folder that can disappear in your pocket when you need it to, but be all business when you need it to as well. The handle is a three finger one for sure, so I put a small black snake knot paracord lanyard on it for a full purchase on the knife, and it also allows for the knife to be easier pulled out of pocket, as the lanyard hole sticks out of the pocket. All in all, I would've paid double for this knife and still just as happy. Buy it.

Its a little heavier and smaller than expected (DaMn YouZ iNteRnEt PiCtUrEs!!!!11!!) Anyway, Its a solid and well crafted piece of metal, you can tell its made too last (and in that respect the weight is reassuring reminder of its strong stainless steel construction) I value durability in my knives (a broken knife is worthless after all) This tough little folder was Einstein sharp out of the box, Very Happy

I work in HVAC and many times my knives ends up being used a a tool so they are always dull with a broken tip, the Squid is a tool for me as well so it gets used as a screw driver, pry bar, hammer, etc. Just today I used it as a philips screw driver then cut up some cardboard with it.I bought my 1st Squid 3 years ago and it has held up to my abuse. I find it is easy to open with 1 hand, wet/greasy hands and with winter gloves on. The pocket clip keeps it in place and has never come loose even laying under houses on my side crawling around the knife stays where it belongs, The weight of the knife is good- it feels like a big knife in my hands. The handle in a nice size- fits the hand good. The stainless finish is easy to clean and so far nothing sticks to it- even paint. And the blade stays sharp and when it does get dull I can sharpen it fast with just a few licks on the stone I bought a 2nd Squid just as a backup when I do loose my 1st blade Buy it you won't be disappointed don;t be scared of the low price CKRT makes good stuff
