After being a Spyderco fan for nearly twenty years, I bought my first Slipit today. I bought a very cute little pink Spyderco Squeak! I'll post pictures later, but this will be one sweet little office knife. I love the FFG profile and fairly thick spine (the thin spine on the Chapharral was something I did not like.) It's a tiny knife, but it did not feel bad in my hand, and the choil is crucial for security since this knife has a firm, but not overly strong backspring. I think I could actually use this knife for fairly heavy duty work. One final plus is that it has screw construction, and an adjustable pivot, a great feature for a slipjoint.:)
 
I love my Spyderco Squeak. It is a great small EDC knife. Add the pink and now you have a very "non-threatening" knife that is supporting a good cause which is nice to add into conversation if someone asks. The Squeak is perhaps my favorite small sized knife in my collection.
 
I thought I would add some pics as well :)

This is my pink Squeak and a comparison shot with my little Rigid from Seiki City. This Squeak is the direct opposite of the big tacticals I love but I don't need to carry.

I'm in love! This Squeak is one practical little knife! I cannot imagine a more sheeple friendly one hander. It really strikes me as a sort of big brother to the Ladybug/Manbug keychain knives. It also reminds me of the old Meerkat model too.
 
The Squeak is indeed a capable little worker. I've also found it to be a great companion to Spyderco's UK Penknife when traveling to UK jurisdictions or others with similar restrictions on lock blades. I have some CRKT Slip K.I.S.S. models for this same function, but bringing them out of the pocket and into action is slower and more cumbersome. The Squeack has the advantage of being smaller than the Penknife and less obtrusive. Mine has travelled and worked hard enough to earn a frequent place in my pocket over lockblades of similar size. However, because of the slipjoint, hold and handling are critical for safe use. I hope your Squeaks are as useful and well used as mine is.

I agree that slipjoint does have the capability of being a bit more dangerous, but the choil design should keep someone cutting if that person has any background with knives.

How's the N690 Cobalt? I've heard that it's similar to VG-10.

I just got a Squeak also, and was wondering about the steel. I haven't used mine yet. Nice little knife. I normally like larger knives. But, this one came in a trade. So, I thought I'd give it a try.
 
I want to see some more comparison photo's of this little guy along side other Spyderco's, preferably a Dragonfly!!
 
This knife would make for an excellent "travel" knife IMO seeing as it would be legal under nearly all jurisdictions. If I were in the market for a Dragonfly size knife I'd take a hard look at the Squeak.
 
i like my squeak quite a bit. I posted a review on my youtube channel and have been happy with it since.
 
Here are some comparison pics with the Delica, UKPK, Dragonfly 2 and of course the Squeak.
