Is this a "traditional folder"?

[zeppos]

The subforum's header says "traditional folders & fixed blades", so i guess i'm allowed to post this folder:

I know, it's a fork, but it's a folder too. And it's a George Schrade "wire fork" (not sure if this a correct name), family of the "wire jack".

I found some interesting info about George and his wires:

Any other wire jack or fork pics available? Any info/stories to share?

Well, I'd say that's a non-traditional traditional. Think of it as half of a wire hobo - add a wire jack and you're there.

I've used it to eat my lunch at work today. It did the job and it also caused some funny looks from my colleagues

This looks to be out of the official Boy Scout utensil set. The knife and fork fold, but the spoon is just a short spoon. They came in a leather pouch. If I can find mine I will put up a pic.

Yes, I believe I saw some on the bay not to long ago in the Boy Scout equipment category with pouch and all.
