Friction Folders?

SHyde · Oct 31, 2003

I'm in a springless folder kind of mood recently, and have been feeding my appetite with a bunch of balis. Now, however, it is time to add some variety to the mix. I'm looking for the names, or links, or info re: makers who make frontier style friction folders. I had a nice one by Ed Caffrey, but let it slip away.

I'm ready for more!

I'm not sure they are the style you look for, but Ricardo Ciachera from Paris makes one of the best friction folders I've seen (IMO). Here is a pic I took at the Paris show like a month ago.

Wayne Goddard
Wendell Fox

Winkler's stuff is particularly nice with excellent leather.....

As you might imagine , Winkler's knives are not cheap, but his work is exceptional.
Go to his web site , where these pictures came from. The prices are shown.

His web site is-

I don't collect any folders. However, I want one of his.

Idaho Knife Works makes some nice friction folders. You can check them out at www.idahoknifeworks.com

Thanks for the replies! Mr. Winkler does make some nice blades, but outside my "user" price range at this point (every knife I buy I consider a potential user)!
