Good day gentlemen!

Here are two medieval type frictionfolders. I wanted to fuse the classic higonokami with my favourite germanic piece of steel, the seax :D
Both have damascus blades, forged of L6 and 1.2516 and have antler handles.
The smaller has a 7 cm long edge with a 17 cm total length when opened and the larger is 24 cm long with a 11 cm long blade.

The smaller is 105 usd and the larger is 120 usd with all fees included!

Sold!

I really like the look of these two even though friction folders usually don't interest me.
I'd like to know what type of 'performance' do you expect from this Damascus steel ?
Hardness Rc ?; edge holding ? fast/slow to re-sharpen ?
And what about the grind ? super thin slicer ? mini cleaver ?
Thanks. I think a bit of description here will help your listing.

Glad you like them! :)
I forged them of two very good tool steels which I bought from a nearby steel manufacturing plant, the http://ossa.ro/ , one is used in woodworking and the other in metal working around here, they have 59-60 rc, depending on which layer you measure.
Because of the hardness it takes a little time to resharpen this mixture, but the edge last long.
Both blades are around 3.5 mm in thickness and have flat grind.

Very interesting designs. I hope that you make more, refining the design a little...and I'd like to see some wood handles too.

Thank you! :)
With the design, I must follow the lines of the antler. The blades were forged to match only those particular pieces of antler. So the antler is the boss here ;)
Wooden handle isn't massive enough to use for this type of folder, it would crack when I hammer the pin. It would have to have a metal skeleton underneath.
