Still, a very nice write up on the Squeak
I know some countries are strict on knives, as well as NYC and Boston. The need for a UK and NYC legal knife is real. But I guess I don't understand the knives like the squeak. If you are going to a UK style country, why not just carry a SAK or some slip joint pocket knife? The squeak, like most of the Spyderco stuff, seems very over priced for a knife with one little blade and a plastic handle. If Victorinox, Case, Buck, Boker, and others make a viable pocket knife with two and tree blades that is UK legal, I don't understand the one hand opening synthetic handle knife. Heck, a number 5 or 6 Opinel is like 12 dollars, and if you pop off the locking ring in the number 6, it's UK legal. At the cost of a few beers at the pub. I don't understand the single blade thing.
By the look of the Spanish and Romanian guys I work with, the whole oho thing just cancels any calming value of the colour of the scales.
Holy Crapola, I'd have to paint that thing!!!!

Nothing against the knife, just the colour. Well if you work in a toy store, the color would be a PLUS. Especially if you'd have to use it in front of customers. Can't be more people friendly than pink. Looking forward to updates to this.

Well,it was an early start this morning,as U.S. a pallet of assorted cars and motorbikes arrive in.The Squeak performed flawlessly( but,for fear of doing a Sheldon,this supplier uses good quality cardboard for their packing cases,unlike some I could mention). My boss did give the Squeak an odd look,whether it was because of the shape of the blade,or its colour,I'm not sure. It was fun watching her stop in her tracks

Bet she'll love it.

She was probably thinking "I didn't know Kirky was that way inclined"
Quiet day for the Squeak,despite a visit to our buying office. The one thing I'd say is that the pocket clip can be a bit over grippy though
