So, the saying; the best knife is the one you have on you, is not always entirely correct. Today I'm carrying my Squirt ES4, because I like to carry in my watch pocket, and the pants of the day has really shallow pockets, so the squirt is the only knife in my lineup that conceals. I like the Squirt, but prefer a locking blade and always carry such when pocket space allows.
I never feel safe with non-locking blades and I always find it strange when reviewers trivialize this fact when reviewing non-locking blades, especially EDC blades that you have to use for whatever situation that might arise.
So back to the squirt, when the need for a knife arose earlier today, I knew the squirt wouldn't be the best knife for the task, but it was right there in my pocket, and laziness prevented me from getting a proper knife. As I've always worried about, today the knife closed on me while applying a fair amount of pressure, resulting in a nice and deep cut in my thumb.
So thats just my heads up to any other lazy EDC'ers out there.
No need to point out my stupidness here, I'm fully aware, and only blame myself.
