Friction folder

[Flying B]

I made this friction folder for my Dad.
I had been saving the tine with all the pearls on it just for him. Blade forged from 1084hc.
He absolutely loved it

Thanks. It’s easy to hold on to when your hands are bloody from fighting off savages that are trying to seal your pelts

Thanks. I was wanting it to be different.

Excellent. The opener in the back is particularly cool.

Now I need one.

Nice.

Now I know what the bumps are called.

Friction folders have been around since Medieval times.

Nicely done!

I really like it

I would like to have it for a patch knife!

 

[Red Owl]

Good job, I've made a few. That thumb pad is just about the correct distance. Some folks extend the pad forward on a projecting tongue but then it sticks out when the knife is closed. I really that the style.
