Made My Own Traditional Folders

[AddictedToGear]

If you were not a knifemaker then maybe you just became one. At least a hobbyist knifemaker like myself. Very good work, the Antlers just add something to it.

Thanks for sharing. Great job ! I see a folding Seax : you reached back to the Vikings ! I would be proud to carry any of your creations, they do have soul (and the antler is gorgeous !)

Well done sir.
I love these kind of builds because it inspires me to do something similar.
They are friction folders I assume?

I still want to make a friction folder out of a Opinel folder or Herder food knife.

Actually they have somewhat of a backspring.... a weak backspring out of an old Colonial

So you fitted Colonial backsprings to a Case and Kutmaster blade.
Then it's double as impressive as I thought. You Macgyvered two real working knives from parts. Love it.

Thank u very much I have been carrying it for the past week and have grown very fond of it. Primitive but it works and so far people have liked it.

I am very impressed. I like to make friction folders with blades from "scrap" knives. Could you do a quick run down of how you did it? Are the only parts the backspring, blade, antler, and pins?

Yes just blade, backsprings, antlers and pins.
