I have been making fixed blades for a few years and I would now like to build a folder or two. I have seen a few pictures of friction folders and it appears to be a good design to start with. Is there a place where I could get a idea of the basic design? Thanks

Wayne Goddard's book 'The Wonder of Knifemaking' has complete construction info on friction folders. If you need a source for the book, here is one place you can get it:
