The Spyderco Squeak (brand part no. C154PPN) is a small, non-locking folder that holds its blade open through a notched-joint pivot rather than a spring-loaded lock. Made by Spyderco, closing the blade generates resistance similar to a traditional slip-joint penknife, while also smoothing the motion of opening. A deep finger choil naturally guides the index finger to a position below the thumb, blocking accidental closure during use and letting the user choke up closer to the edge for better control.
