funny folders

The S&W dagger is a Funny Folder a la Imel. The small & larger are Mountain Forge.
The one with the brass slider is Rocky Mountain Cutlery

Now those are most definitely some rather strange, and interesting blades.

Trying to figure out that S&W. Does the blade flip around into the handle?

Swing the handle around to cover the blade, then flip that inside the frame.

Go see A.G.Russell for funny folders!

There is also a unique folder by CRKT that opens sideways. Its got a lock and is solid all around. But, its very awkward to manipulate one handed.

Sort of a tactical funny folder!

Not sure if the image will work, new Tapatalk is awful.
Anyway, it's called the Van Hoy Snaplock.

I actually own a very very small pocket knife that folds like these. I bought it at an antique shop. It was a beak promotion in the early 1900's. it it's mainly more so fun to just play around closing/opening it haha.

Great thread, and neat folders. Many decades ago I started a collection of folding knives based on different mechanisms. I figured that I would find maybe a couple dozen different locking / folding types and the collection would be complete! WOW was I ever wrong. I cannot remember how many I had, but after a while I found there was no end to it, so I sold them and moved on to other areas. The one that I really liked, was the folders by Barry Wood - they entertained me for a long time.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure.
