KCkc, I'm with you on this one, slip joints are one thing but a friction folder
that opens as easy as those will take more caution than I normally give, I'd
rather there be a nice lock to keep me from doing something stupid

This is generic Japanese design for folders. I have school student knife by IC-cut from Japan

and it was introduced by Teidji Miracomi for Higonokami at 1896 in Miki city Japan.

It was in use by several generation in Japan.

So nothing really new here. I actually consider this one as fancy Higonokami.

Thanks, Vassili.
