Thats a good looking folder

Nice, How big is it? How do these friction folders preform? There have been a few I really liked, but wasn't sure what it's like to carry them.
The first pic eluded my eyes.. I thought it was an unfinished machete or something at first, with the handle being the Blade.

4.5" closed, including the tang
6" open
2.5" blade
2.25" cutting edge

I own two friction folders, this one and a svord peasant knife. the svord is too big to EDC so i haven't used it much. This one fits in the pocket nicely and cuts great. since it has the extended tang as long as you are holding the knife it can't close on you. the pressure from the handle slabs also does a good job keeping the knife open as well. The tang can also be used as a cap lifter but i haven't tried it yet.

I'll re-arrange the pics to avoid any future confusion

Very sweet friction folder....Did it come with the leather pouch as well? I've been seriously considering ordering one for the past few weeks.

Yes, Mr Morris made the sheath as well for a few extra bucks. I thought it was a good idea so that the contents of my pocket didn't scratch the micarta.

That's a nice looking setup. I'm sure you're enjoying having and using that one.

It's my first custom and it's going to be my EDC for this week and probably many more weeks to come.
