Thanks a lot Jolipapa, that's very helpful. Hungarian is a barrier for me, I'm thankful I met a fluent person, who was willing to help so much.
Speaking of linguistics, "morphology" is a common word in medicine (itself based on knowledge and understanding of morphology and physiology), but I also have to admit that I am cheating here, because it is a very common word in Greek, as many other words that enrich English as borrowings and coinages. What might seem exotic, phenomenal, scholar, apocryphal, aristocratic, anorthodox, iconoclastic, acataleptic, melodramatic, rhetoric, technical, neologism, calliphonic, patriarchic, philoshophic, psychedelic or archaic in English, is often a trivial Greek word, spoken by everyday people here, without hyperbolic academical backgrounds. See? I used around 20 in a single phrase and "phrase" is Greek too.
About the Okapi, I think it's the 3" Baby Sable model.

I made corrections and additions, according to your help. Now there are 459 items in there.
About makers and vendors, I just changed the title to include both at the moment.
It is a work in progress, without ambitions, but still helps me navigate to this mysterious ocean of folding knives.
I wonder what they use in South America. They have the tradition of Spanish, Portuguese and Italian origins, they ought to have made good use of it.
I'm going for Levine's book.
