I would be interested in knowing more about the above friction folder and the one in your post #426 please.

In general I'm seeing some very nice friction folders here. Where might I get some samples?

Those are made by Michael Morris. And they have a cap lifter. Lightweight too. On his website he talks about the files he uses and heat treatment. He’s been making them for awhile. I had a question for him and he was very friendly. Great knives. Thanks Brian.

They look great! You're welcome! And, thank you.

Thread '~Project Complete!~ I'm making friction folders! What blade steels do you want to see in them?'

Apr 3, 2018

Like the title says. I've been developing this for a while, and in the next month or so I'll be making them; first prototypes are done, I'm just trying to narrow down materials for a first batch. I'm looking to keep these as affordable as possible, so that's why I've chosen those particular steels; I want to know what steel people would prefer, hence the poll. GKD seemed like the best place to get opinions from a wide range of users here.

Blade is 3", handle is 4.25". Extended tang "stick" is exposed for one-handed opening. Currently debating whether I should go about making pocket clips...
