first friction folder and another

[Atstrickland]

Hey everyone was bored so messed around making a friction folder. Had fun doing it and making the micarta.

3 inch blade little over 4 inch handle. Black denim micarta with red paper liners, hardened stop pin.





Wanted to try making something a little bigger on this one. Doing this made me want to try a hidden tang and do a gaurd pretty soon.Went out into the brush and had some fun with this one haha. Few things I wish i did differently on this one but im still learning.

Nice clean work and good looking designs! Your friction folder design is not typical of friction folders though, it is much more like a liner lock or lock back folder or even a slip joint - all it really needs to become one of these is a liner or a back spring. Something to consider when you're ready for the next step ....

Once I get my grinder built and get all my sheath making materials I defiantly wanna try doing a liner lock, had a lot of fun making that one, had some challanging moments but it was worth it.
