I’m calling it the Larkspur. This is just a prototype for now, but it represents a pretty unique feature set.

It is a one hand opener, but requires two to close. The mechanism is a forced notch slipjoint, so it is non locking (and sub 3” of course) but requires substantially more force to close than open.

I am in a testing phase with this but hope to iterate and offer this model up soon!
