Alfred Dobner "Fullturn" folder

[Jos]

Knifemaker Alfred Dobner lives in Sweden. He makes VERY nice folders, and VERY nice integral fixed blades.

Last weekend, on the DKE show in holland, I met Alfred, and purchased one of his folders.

Apparently it is patterned after a very old design (Alfred was talking about a 120 year old knife!).

I'll let the pics do the talking. Handle material is Box Elder.

I've been playing with it all weekend!

Kind regards,

Jos

WOW!! That is the nicest knife i've seen of that design.

I'm not sure who invented it, but Barry Wood made knives using that style that were and are popular to collectors.

Thanks for posting it Jos.

Alfred had several with him at the DKE and I think they are really cool.
