Traditional friction knife

[DagueHaubert]

I just get my latest knife last tuesday, and that one might just be my ultimate one ...


... well, just kidding of course, you know how it works

Never mind, here are some pics of - how to say ... approximative quality :

handle in snake wood, blade in hand-forged damas (non-stainless), the earliest one-hand opening system on a folding knife ever known (first archeological evidences in ancient Egypt) and moreover a legal knife in our oversecured european countries :

Not an ugly knife, isn't it ?

That is beatiful. Where/How did you get it?

 

[DagueHaubert]

I bought it to a young knifesmith/knifemaker (just pick the correct term), Stéphane Venner, who made these other cutting toys :

Traditional sailor's knife, slipjoint :


Traditional european knife "violon", slipjoint :


Folding knife, slip joint :


Push-dagger :



His website (in french, sorry) :S. Venner

You might like that one (my previous EDC), a bit more simple : hand-forged carbon steel and palm tree "wood" :

Wow fellas, amazing friction folders here. And extremely enjoyable photos.

Why am I suddenly thirsty???

 

[Amos Iron Wolf]

Nice friction folders! Sigh. Guess I'll have to add one of those to the wish list. Hard to get more traditional or simple than that.

SunnyD, try some Benchmark sometime. Smooth, lightly sweet, tasty bourbon at the price of Jim Beam. I have to drive to a store on the North side of SA to get it, but worth the trip. I still need to get over there and see if they have any Speyside (that was it, right?). Maybe in a payday or two. Just finished getting a car repaired.

Some nice friction folders-I really like the snakewood DagueHaubert it's a fine looking knife. SunnyD those stag folders are exceptional!!! I remember them coming up for sale, I wanted to pull the trigger on one of those, but, alas-cashflow was an issue. Here is a nice one from H. Ohta:
