 A Friction Folder is the oldest Folding knife design in existence, examples of Friction Folders have recently been found in the ruins of Ancient Roman dwellings.  

This quality knife will appeal to anyone who lives in a place where a Locking knife is frowned upon and/or a blade greater than 3″ can draw too much interest.

This knife is the perfect EDC size. The blade was hand ground from Bohler Uddeholm N690 Stainless steel. This steel is a very clean Austrian steel with a nice amount of Chromium to make it nearly maintenance free.  The Flats are High Polish and the Bevels are Satin, this will allow the knife to be used and still look new.

The handles are a unique layered Camo G-10.  Also, the perimeter edges have all been chamferred for a very comfortable grip. 

  Very smooth action. Johann has applied some contoured Thumb Ridges to the spine of the Extended Tang, very comfortable.

The Stick Tang is completely recessed into the handle when open for a comfortable full handle grip.  

The layered G-10 Backspacer adds added strength to the Frame.
