CRKT SQUID
Theres a reason this is so popular, for the price you pay, its a truly excellent knife. From the design, the materials, the action, sharpness out of the box its quality all around. If your looking for your first knife you really can't go wrong, the black wash colour gives it that extra hint of personality too. The belt clips tight enough so you'll never loose it, the jimping on the top adds great grip when in use. The lanyard hole at the back is very practical too, a little piece of paracord tied in a knot here really aids the whole handed grip for flipping it open. Thumb studs are just the right placement to help the action, without being obtrusive. Just be aware like any new knife, it may be a little stiff out the box. I really can't recommend this enough, regardless of what knives are in your collection or edc everyone should have a squid in their life :)
