Got bitten pretty hard by the bug for a small friction folder, just need a little push to actually buy one of the little buggers :D feel free to share pictures and tell mr what it's like to actually use em!! Thanks guys!!
 
Here are a couple that I made. I use the curly maple one for hard work, the grizzly claw folders are string cutters. ;-)

A couple of years ago I bought a 100 year old grizzly rug that had 19 of it's 20 claws.I made most of the claws into friction folders. Once in a while i get Black Bear claws big enough for a folder but the Griz claws are so much better because of their size.

they should more popular simple and practical design.

Those are awesome. I like a marriage of modern materials into a more simple/classic style. Definitely a cool design.
 
I know this probably is a dumb question, but, what provides the friction? are there washers, tight fit, or am i completely missing it?
 
Great stuff here.

Pipeman - great design and material match up on that Grizzly Claw.

defaultuser - super cool making the Bottle opener on the rear, great job.

Trix - that Wharncliff blade is about the cleanest FF I have seen!

If someone has a pic I know Jared Price has made a few of these that were really nice.
 
The folder by Jared Price is the one Ive got my eyes on, the watchpocket friction folder... Trix; those are CLEAN

I'm very pleased to say I am a new owner of that Wharncliff friction folder. A2 steel, carbon fiber - really striking. I can't wait to get it!
