Hey all. Just thought I'd post some pics of my friction folder prototype. It was originally inspired by frontier-style pieces but I tried to make it "my own". I wanted it to look rustic but with some contemporary stylings. I'm pretty happy with how it came out. Buttery smooth action. I may do a thing or two different when I add it to my catalog, but all & all I think its a keeper.

Specs:
sharpened edge length: 3 inches
differentially hardened 1095 (antique finish)
Stabilized buckeye burl with copper liners
Stainless pivot & pins
leather belt sheath

Comments welcome. Thanks for looking!

What is it about friction folders? I don't know but I like them, and you did a fine job on that one I'd say. Are you concerned about wear at all, with the copper liners?

There shouldn't be any moving parts touching the copper. The nylatron washers don't move (dab o' superglue)... show there won't be any wear.

Thanks for the comments, folks!
