Recommend me a Friction folder!

[pedervisti]

So! it turns out that we can carry friction folders here in denmark,
as long as the blade isn't longer than 2 3/4 inches!
so recommend me a good (high value too if posible) edc friction folder
im pretty open when it comes to style of knife, i just don't like the
looks of the japanese? Higonokami knives...
thanks and merry xmas to everybody!

A shorter blade is but a few minutes away with some coarse sandpaper or stones.

How about a higonokami knife from Japan. They can be had for $25 or so. I've had better luck with the SK steel versions, but a well heat treated blue steel is supposed to be superior.

Spyderco DK penknife. It was made to comply with knife laws in Denmark.

I recommend saving up $140 for one of Hiroaki Ohta's handmade ATS-34 and desert ironwood small friction folders. The blade length is 2-1/4", it's easily opened and closed one-handed, and it's ultra-light at 0.9 ounces. The hollow ground modified Wharncliffe blade profile is a great all-around user.

I suppose the blade on a Case Russlock would be too long.

Yup. 3". Never mind.

Also blade is too long. I would get a Svord one and have the blade ground down.

If you make the Svod into a spear point or a wharncliffe it should be in the specs.:thumbup:

Just be careful when grinding not to overheat the blade.

Not a friction folder, either- linerlock.
