The Squid XM 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 on ability. Don't let the 2.95" 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.
New for 2025 the Squid XM now comes with a button lock safety mechanism. Deployed smoothly with a thumb stud and gliding on IKBS bearings, you'll think it was still assisted. So go ahead and bring this sidearm with you wherever you go. Just remember, it's loaded.
