Dario Friction Folder

Stefano — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 19:20:37 +0000

Here a tough and compact companion, for my friend Dario from USA. A custom, one piece as usual, made for work and more. Hope it will serve him with love and passion as I made it.

Made in 4mm (.157″) D2 tool steel, hot blued. About 7,2mm (2,56″) sharp as hell. Orange sculpted handles, nylatron washers, hot blued stainless hardware. All handmade as the black denim sheat.

Thanks Dario, hope you will use it alot!

Work In Progress – Two New Friction Folders Update #3

Stefano — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 07:22:28 +0000

Oh yes!
My friends allover the world will be happy to see these new updates. They are both D2 friction folder knives, similar but very different in substance. Notice the grind: one is full flat, the other smaller is a classic user with a small swedge to improve penetration without affecting great cutting abilities.

Work In Progress – Two New Friction Folders Update #2

These are two new friction folders that I think they will come out great. Right now I’m checking tolerances and mechanism so the next step is to proceed for grinding the blades to the final shape.

I’m very happy and pleased to so thiese projects since they are very niec and the D2 carbon steel is one of my favourite since it is an excellent cutting steel. Usually people that demands of this D-2 steel is a user that loves to use the friction folders for cutting and for great performance in these kind of tasks.

Btw this is the first one that will have more than 9cm (3.54″) of cutting edge, a beast.

And this is a folder that is for my friend over the atlantic sea. I slightly modified the point to have better strength and more cutting power. Because it’s quite compact, about 7.5cm (around 3″), moreover in this design I can make a swedge .
I hope that my customer will like it!

Work In Progress – Two New Friction Folders

Stefano — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 13:59:05 +0000

These are the rough shapes of two new friction folders that are coming out.
Right now are only roughly cutted and hand satin finished to a 600 grit. It’s a lot of work from now but for sure they will be great folders, since the steel is a 4mm (.157″) D2, and they will be finished in black.

One will be about 9,5cm edge (3.8″ about) with a santoku inspired shape. A small monster.
The other is about 7,5cm (3″) blade based on my other Nemo Friction Folder. Since I love to make unique projects and I love to always improve this one has a slightly different point shape. More classic and I think more utilitarian, hope will like to my friend.

M-Tank Friction Folder

Stefano — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 12:33:24 +0000

The history of this knife is strange. It should be my personal knife, but I decided later to not keep with me this jewel. It is sturdy, compact and powerful like a medium tank. I really love this friction folder.

Blade is an excellent 5mm (.196″) 1095 carbon steel sporting a gorgeous hamon or temper line. It is scary sharp, pop off hairs with ease. Still is strong with his high sabre ground. Handles are in Jade G1o, with Orange G10 backspacer and stainless steel pivots and pins.

Size is 7,6cm blade (3″), handles are 10cm (3.93″).

Will come out with a jeans sheat as my usual.
Hope you will like it!

Cheers!
