It seems that you don't realize that a friction folder is a lockable knife when the lever has enough length like the one of the De Leeuw's design.w3tnz wrote:But then again I wouldn't buy anything that didn't lock up so I wouldn't really know what goes through the mind of a FF consumer :p
I don't trust any locking mechanism, except Opinel rotating ring and my hand. With a friction folder, my hand's palm or one of my fingers is a part of the locking mechanism.
Most of the time, the lever will hurt your skin way before the blade is supposed to close. You receive a clear signal / alert, contrary to a back-lock, liner-lock, frame-lock knife that is going to fail.
A friction folder can be more secure than any of your knife with a "lock up".

I fully agree, I have one with a damascus blade and mammoth scale.IG-88 wrote:The Buffalo would be great!!!
But the plain ones are great too.
It is wonderful in the hand for such a large folder.
All your knifelinks, http://www.knifelinksportal.com
I just got one. Great. I'm a Spyderco fan; have six including a Zulu and Hummingbird. I will get the friction folder. BUT, meanwhile, where did you get the sheath for the Svord?w3tnz wrote:Whats to like? It certainly wont be the price.. Maybe if you had to have a stainless, nice looking FF? I can see the attraction for someone bound by law but even then its not what I'd pick..
If you want to play with a friction folder go buy a peasant knife for $15?
