he Squid XM is a versatile everyday carry just like its predecessor, but with a bit more reach from a longer blade it&';s not quite large, just extra medium. With a grippy G10 handle and new, earth brown color, it&';s a highly functional design thats a surprisingly capable EDC. Featuring a D2 steel drop-point blade, the knife achieves an excellent balance of tip strength and point geometry for maximum utility. When you&';re ready to put it to work, Assisted Opening deploys the blade in the blink of an eye. IKBS ball bearings in the pivot create a super smooth action.
