New one in today's mail. I only know it is (a) A friction Folder, and (b) It's French. (edit) Or maybe Italian.
I can't make out what the blade stamp says.

I believe it is Italian - I saw Âchillepattada posting about them elsewhere. If I could find a source for them I would definitely get one.

Might be. I dunno. I thought I saw a similar knife in the French knife thread.

Found it!
If shipping is reasonable, I might have to get one. Carbon, no lock, very nice:

Agree. It is a very nice knife. Light as I remember my beech and carbone Opinel N°8 being, and just as slicey.

A classic?

Love this one.... Saw it in another thread and was wondering if it's just the standard handle that was modified? I have to admit, I don't like the regular shape of the end of Opinel handles. Otherwise, they're great!

While we’re looking at one of the cigarrodog friction folders,I figure I’d add in my “Harvey Special”.

I saw this in the Guardians thread but I must have missed that it's a friction folder. That's awesome!

Modified standard #8. I always find the modified ones to be the most interesting. Thank you.

No. Acquired from an Opinel Modder. awhile back. Thank you.

Thank you! The best is that’s a lambsfoot and according to Jack a rare one.
Once again hats off to Harvey!
