It’s back. But bigger. Years ago designer Lucas Burnley brought the iconic Squid™ to life. Skyrocketing in popularity as a fan-favorite compact carry, the folding knife became a top choice for those looking to strike the right balance of simplicity, performance, and functionality. Now, Lucas takes a new stab at reimagining this time-honored design, bringing us the larger SQUID™ XM. Still checking the box of being a versatile everyday carry, the longer blade length handles tasks both big and small—and is now recognized as a bit more “extra medium” in size.

Singularly built for anything that needs to be cut. The Minimalist™ line is a series of compact, fixed-blade knives designed to handle a variety of tasks. They feel equally at home in the woods or around the house. This version features a drop point blade with 154CM steel for superior edge retention, as well as a black micarta which, along with the included stitched leather sheath, gives it a refined appearance over the standard model.

Serve. Protect. The Provoke® Zap morphing karambit knife draws on ancient design but it’s hiding a futuristic secret. The first knife ever to feature Kinematic® technology, it stays neatly tucked away in transit and comes to life when there’s trouble afoot. Now built with Grivory®—a strong, lightweight, engineered thermoplastic—it’s more lightweight, adept, and crafted to go anywhere.

Melding the usability of an everyday carry with the strength and polish of a high-end custom design, the Italian-made Squid™ II Black is a bold reimagining of the classic Squid™ folding knife. It’s both beautiful and practical, with a black G10 handle for a stealthy, understated look. The Squid™ II is made to feel just as at home in your pocket as it does on display with the rest of your collection.

Otherwise, it’s the same hard-workings folder the Pilar® III has always been.
