Like the www.agrussell.com "One Hand Knife" ?
I confess I don't quite understand why true scandi grind folders don't exist.
<sarcasm> Obviously it's so the knife companies can sell fantabulous knife sharpening 'systems'!</sarcasm>
I don't think the knife industry is actually that silly, so there must be some kind of reason. Maybe it's harder to mass-produce a decent out-of-the-box edge and polish with scandi grinds?

Jens Anso has a collaboration with Spyderco called the "Rock Lobster". It is due to be released this fall in North America. I have seen pictures but can't remember where; I suppose you could google the European Spyderco office. It came from a knife show in Europe this past spring.
Almost all Japanese weaponry has a primary bevel....try looking around for a Hanwei tanto if you want a good knife (but alas, it won't be a folder).
I got sick of the sorry condition of my CS Ti-Lite and ground it down to a primary bevel....that sure took care of it not being able to hold an edge.

If you really want a large primary bevel and no other bevels have a look at Higo no Kami folder (or Higonokami - traditional Japanese folding carpenter's knife) For examle -http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=2&p=51165&cat=1,51222 . It's unexpensive ($17 - $25), different sized and quite functional.
Of course, it's not HiTech-WOW-Cool Tactical Folder.

I've got a couple of the Ahti butterflies. They are made by the same factory that made the old Hackman butterlies years ago. I think they may have a very small secondary bevel, but that's easily sharpened out.

Last item on the page. Can't beat the price.

It's because Scandi grind is a Scandinavian thing mostly, and Scandinavians in general don't much care about folders.

Moras have a good edge from the factory for a good price, I think that it would be as easy if not easier than a flat grind.

Hm, that looks pretty nice. Hey, for general purpose out and about it won't be scaring away any sheeple, and that looks like the exact type of blade I was looking for. Thanks!

Hm, I've been looking for some nicer puukkos, and some of those look great. I don't know about the folders, though. I don't like the looks of them very much, although they do indeed look nice.
Great find! :thumbup:
Very unique...
If they made that model 1-2" smaller I would be all over it.
