Here's my old school friction folder design with recent improvements. What do you think?

Most appreciated!
I have so many designs I could show drawings all year, I will keep it up! I like this one a lot and am making a really small group of these once I get my manual mill going.
These are being laser cut right now. I'm making 10 in carbidized titanium with all Ti scales/etc. I am going to sell them with a keychain/bead "fairly" logo thingy and a cool custom valet tray I make.

Here's the original! These were pretty early knives for me, I have learned a little since then.

Hi! It is 72 RC Tungsten Carbide. The application penetrates the Titanium beneath the surface as well as adding a surface treatment.
The Carbide is harder than the Ti so the knives are self sharpening on abrasive materials like cardboard. They essentially do not wear on soft items like veggies, meat, etc. This combo sails right through rope and leather. The Carbide flexes with the knife, can never flake, chip, rust or wear off.
