Which companies produce folders with 'carbon steel' blades? By 'carbon steel', I mean non-stainless. I am aware of Case, German Eye, Benchmade, EDI had a A2 version of Genesis, and some Old Timer's. Any others? I'm not considering ATS34 or 154 CM.

thanks
 
I will be doing a 10 piece run of 52100 forged edge quenched folders in my edc line soon. I will number them and thats all there will be 10..

I feel there is some folks that like carbon.
Plus I like to forge folder blades from time to time.

Sadly if you want a one hander there are few particularly if you don't a coated one.

Very nice Camillus. I'm interested in traditional pocketknives and folders, actually. By the way Will, I have a Companion. Incredible knife! Doubles a hatchet nicely!

I like the Schrade Old Timer knives alot. They just remind me of a simpler and better time. Not to mention they sharpen very easy and don't cost a fortune.

Besides the ones you mention, others who make traditional patterns with carbon steel blades are:

Kissing Crane
Remington (green & yellow handles)
Kabar
Buck Creek
Bulldog
Schrade
Mooremaker

I think some of the Winchester knives are also carbon steel.

I have a #72 whittler pocket knife by Camillus that has carbon steel blades. The finish is smooth, almost appears "stone-washed" but is not. Very sharp and strong "walk and talk."

I also have some old Ka-Bar pocketknives...a stockman and a barlow that I bought in the late 70's, polished finish blades.
