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.
