Came across this at a knife store yesterday, its a beast of a knife probably pushing 1/2" blade stock. Its a custom knife with an crazy low price on it..
Tag says its a Gorilla Bladeworks friction folder. Anyone know anything about them?

Looks an awful lot like Dan Keffeler's logo...

Thanks guys, I was able to find the FB page but couldn't find a listing for knives for sale or value estimate. This one is priced lower than a Spyderco Paramilitary...
 
My impression, with blade stock that thick and such a low saber grind it'll have a hard time cutting anything harder than warm butter...those primary bevels have to be close to 20 degrees:eek:

Looks like the baby brother to this one...blade stock on the one I have pictured is at least 10mm
 
ok maybe not 10mm but its thick..here it is next to a Hinderer..

Looks like a fun date, then you run. That "jimping" is horrendous. Looks like Medford tried to make a slippy while drinking.

I'd like to try it lol.
 
In reality, there's nothing there that a 36 grit belt wouldn't fix...if it was local and cheap enough I'd probably give it a full flat grind. Might actually turn out decent;)

Yup, just because its not my cup of tea, dont mean someone else wont fall in love with it...:D
THIS wasnt my cup of tea either, but I picked it up for a few bucks and made well over a $100 profit....yard sale finds buy me new toys and its fun..

I Googled them and found the FB page. Go to the Etsy link on there for more info. I like the steampunk look but as a conversation piece they are pricey.
