404722 CRKT Squid™ Assisted Opening Framelock

404722 CRKT Squid™ Assisted Opening Framelock This everyday carry knife is compact in stature but packs some heat in the features department. It comes with a frame lock for safety and Assisted Opening for super fast deployment. Be careful where you point it. The Squid™ is an everyday carry folding knife from designer Lucas Burnley of Bend, Oregon. Based on the concept of a compact pistol, it’s small in size and big in ability. Don’t let the 2.37” blade fool you; this is a full-on, tactically inspired knife that’s ready to take on your largest cutting challenges. By designing it in a drop-point style, Burnley was able to give the blade a good balance of tip strength and point geometry for utility tasks, packing all the functionality of a full-size tactical folder, into an easy-to-carry, compact design. Just like any good gun, you want something that’ll keep you safe. That’s why the Squid™ is built with the Assisted Opening innovation. Nudge the blade open part way and Assisted Opening activates, snapping it open at super high speed. The IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system makes for a smooth rotation and a frame lock keeps it solidly in place. So go ahead and bring this sidearm with you wherever you go. It’s a pistol of a knife: it obliterates tasks. Just remember, it’s loaded. How Assisted Opening WorksIt's held securely closed in your pocket, but initiate the deployment, and partway through the rotation the blade opens at an impressive speed for simple, powerful, one-handed opening.   Overall: 5.94" (150.83 mm) Closed: 3 .59" (91.14 mm) Blade Length: 2.37" (60.20 mm) Blade Thickness: 0.11" (2.69 mm) Wt: 3.70 oz.
