Friction folder in Red....

[mitch13]

A new friction folder I just received from Filip De Leeuw, Deviant blades.
Red G10 with A2 blade with chinese influence in shape, oal about 7 1/4".
It's pictured with an earlier 1 I got from Filip.

Gotta say I sorta like those.

I could deal without the hole though, as I believe it is redundate.

Awesome!
Filip has permission to use the Hole.

You need to start asking questions before you judge people. Philip de Leeuw (the maker) has explicit permission from Sal Glesser to use the spydiehole in his designs.

Sal Glesser has received a proto type Deviant friction folder and if we are lucky we might be able to buy a Deviant designed spyderco friction folder if Sal likes this concept/design:thumbup:.

COOLNESS!!! :thumbup:

Yeah it doesn't really need to be there but I have found myself using it a few times.

I really like that. :thumbup:

I also like the idea of a major knife company considering the friction folder concept for a production knife. Let's hope they decide to move forward with it.

That would be nice and knowing a little about spyderco i think we have a great chance to see this knife come available to us.:thumbup:

I talked to Filip about the hole and the opening of the knife.
It was really easier to open the knife with the big opening "lever".
The hole is a bit little but could be used but its not the fastest of the 2.


Filip said it was also a "design feature".
It just looks good an lots of people like the "spyderco holes".
You can get a custom made friction folder with modern materials and modern design for "production knife" money.

The Red one looks alot like a Leafstorm blade. Still a good looking knife!!!

OrangeJoe you got MOTED.... Faced !


That is a neat looking knife ! I am not too sure of the friction folder concept though for some reason... maybe cuz it's strange to me as I have not yet held one.

It looks more like a Lum Chinese blade shape to me.

Agreed. The knife in it's open position looks like a small Chinese Lum.

 

[Cisco Kid]

Great looking knife! I've been eyeballing those myself...

 

[kidcoyote]

i want one.

how is a hole drilled in a blade spydercos? sure they use it on everything...but end of the day its just a hole drilled in the blade, i dont even see how spyderco could patent or copywrite the use of it? its such a basic feature (not hating on spyderco as an FYI, i own a few and love them).

I love a well made friction folder, looks good but like others have said it would do better without the hole.

I think they actually water jet/laser cut it out.
