Nice Friction Folder

[AlpacaWrangler]

Like most folks I have a problem playing with my knives too much. Driving, watching TV anything, I play with my folders.
Are Friction Folders fun to mess with?
Who makes a nice one?
Thanks.

I dont have any, but alot of people swear by the Svord Peasant. Might be a good starter option for ya.

I would 2nd GCS's suggestion. The Svord Peasant or the Mini peasant is a good inexpensive way to check out friction folders. They have a few handle material options and if you don't care for any they offer you can always make your own handle scales for a customized look. Here is a pic of mine.

If you want something a lot more high end and awesome check out Daniel Fairly's friction folders. He is planing a run soon.

You can learn to one hand open/close the Svord with ease. It's addictive.

The Svord is an affordable friction folder. It has to be made nice by the user. The fundamentals are there, but out of the package, it's a little bit lacking.

Japanese Higonokami style knives can be found for about the same price, and similar level of crudeness. I prefer them to the Svord, because they are much more pocketable.
