Friction folders!

Let's see some awesome friction folders! Only rule is to avoid sword knives because most of us have seen them by now. Let's go for a unique gallery of friction folding knives!

Here's some tinkering, substandard to the beautiful knifemaker's work which will prolly be along shortly.

Drew these in DraftSight when I was bored. This allowed me to check pin placement onscreen. Then some quick and dirty machining (at work, so it had to be) and just knock it together with groove pins.

Problem was that I had to have a blade template in the file also to do this and I have no wherewithal to make blades. These are paring knife blades ground to the template.

This was just old child playing around. What I basically learned from this fun is that it's impossible (or at least difficult) to design a friccy which you just assemble and go. There's always hand work to get the tension right at least.




So this meets the "different" criteria anyway.

These were mostly hand work.





And the blades are made from knife files. The steel is harder than woodpecker lips and I actually like these quite a bit.





Tim was a hacksaw too, if you remember.

I have a few odd ones and a Svord.
