Orange G10 friction folder

[oupa]

I built this knife because it was load of fun.
Blade is 3" and the handle around the 4" mark.
Orange G10, Corian bolsters over grey with Blue/black jeancarta back-spacer.
A2 for the blade and stainless for the "tool".

So, why incorporate such a "tool"?????
Well, it does not matter if the hunting/fishing is good or bad....a frosty bottle of brew is essential and a good cap-lifter is thus a necessity!

The shield is from an old Austrian folder.
The reasoning behind this is that it sports a Boar's head to signify the hunt and the logo "Weidmannsheil" translates as "Good Hunting".


The knife was fun make and built to be used. :thumbup:

Dirk, my meager resources don't permit me to buy your orange "handy knife" but I wanted to tell you that I like a lot of things about it. Other than Opinels, I have not owned an actual friction folder, such as yours shown here. Since I admire simplicity, the concept appeals to me. One day I'll have to try one, or else make one of my own perhaps. I like the blade shape and size on the one you've created, and I like the handle shape, too. It reminds me of a Sodbuster's handle, but, like some ladies, it has a bit more of a broad butt. A certain degree of comfort is the likely result in both cases, however. I'm a big fan of the more basic Swiss Army Knives (the Victorinox Farmer, Pioneer, and Soldier), so I do like the bottle opener/screwdriver combo you've added to your friction folder. I'm old enough that I appreciate beers that still come in glass bottles with steel caps on them, too.
