Friction folders!

[Samon]

Yep, friction folders! Old fashioned, practical, attractive and soo cool!

So, let's see what you got!

This is my walnut handled svord peasant knife (my late svord knife..), very good knife and great quality steel made much better with tough pretty scales made by Hillbill!

I'd like to get another at some point so befoer I do I'd like to see what's out there!

Thanks for reading

Sorry to intrude on your thread, but why are frictionfolders so great?

personal taste?..

I like the simplicity and sturdyness of a well made one that I don't often feel in other folding knives. What don't you like about them?

I have mine so I can carry a "slightly safer than non-locking" knife and still be ok within UK law. I have had to take a tiny bit off the lenght to keep it in the three inches rule. But for the price a svord is great value. Also mine is bright orange so looks a lot more tooley rather than knifey so anybody seeing me with it is less likely to get spooked.

Big fan of friction folders, only got one I did a few years back but I'll make a batch in future for sure.they're great in use in my opinion

I like the look of the Svord peasant. Christmas soon maybe I'll treat myself.

Two rather poor pics of mine. Made by Dave Budd. A fantastic knife and after a couple of years of faultless service I'm more than happy to recommend .

always liked the SVORDS but they are a bit big

turns out they are releasing a smaller one SVORD PKM

smallholder makes (or possibly made as I havn't seen any in a while) very nice bushcraft friction folders

Michael Morris and smokepole over on BB also make great folders

That's a beauty! Here's mine, posted it before but one more won't hurt...

It's definately the most used and abused knife I own. Punches above it's weight every time. This thread has got me wanting to make more in the new year! Thanks for posting pics guys...
