Spyderco Squeak Review - "An Extension of the Hand

[903lew]

I'm expecting one of these within the week, very exited. For those of us in the UK the non-locking aspect is crucial, without it we simply can't EDC it. Spyderco has done a couple of slipits the past years but this is what I think I'll be carrying the most. Why? I think it's the cutest thing to come out of Italy since they started making bread-sticks.

Oh, and I subbed.

Great video and excellent points and comparisons. I think locking folders can be a bit overinflated sometimes as I don't feel they are needed a lot of the time. This lil knife does basic light everyday tasks with absolutely no problem for the daily routines of most folks out there. Nice to see you back and making videos again. You have a very nice voice.

@mzondi1970 Thanks, and I'm sure this would make a great edc for her. Yes, the mini AA's full review is on its way. Can't wait to share my thoughts on this awesome little light.Stay tuned, and thanks for watching again Mzondi, Cheers.

Great review. Totally second your pros and cons on this cute, versatile little knife. Love that Spyderco is conscious of carrying restrictions all over the world.They are one of the few international makers who actually seem to care. I love my little Squeak and carry it a lot.

[spydiechick]

@soozagee Completely agree. I've always been drawn to companies that cater to a large demographic, and it certainly is heartwarming to see Spyderco try their best to do that. Happy to hear the little squeak is cutting it well for ya ;) Thanks for watching

Very nice Squeak review. You were right about some not liking non-locking folders. I'm one of those. Locking folders are one of those things I never thought about until I got used to locking folders. I got a Kiwi slip joint. Love the little warncliff knife. HATE that it doesn't lock. Just me though. Your reviews are great for EDC knowledge. I was wondering what you use to maintain your edge. I'd like to see a video on how you maintain your knives. Sharpening, cleaning/lube, etc.

I love my squeak, too. I got it after the UKPK as that one still looks threatening to sheeple, despite being legal here.

I attach a lanyard to the pocket clip, snugged up with a skull bead (I have big hands so the pinky slides off the back end of the knife easily!)

[spydiechick]

@WanderingWallaby Similar situation here actually, my Caly3 started intimidating people where I lived so that was when I started shrinking down my EDC choices a couple years ago. Good point on placing a lanyard on the wire clip! But how do you in particular secure the knot so it doesn't jostle around, unless you mount the bead high and adjacent to the clip? Thanks for the comment! Cheers

@spydiechick Sending you a short VR :)

[spydiechick]

@spydiechick Thanks for showing the lanyards :) Cheers!

what a wonderful review and an interesting philosophy of a non-locking knife; for a small blade like the squeak i would not at mind a non-locking blade. I may just try this knife out :)

hurry for a break from school! hope your semester went well. if you don't mind me asking, what's your major?

[bladespec]
