    A few recently completed folders - Joseph Rodgers pattern

    Thanks George. You are right about folders being a challenge - I still have the first one I made and I sometimes look at it and I just have to smile. I am self trained, so it was a lot of trial and error, and I was so proud of it when I finally figured it out. And I still am, but when I compare...

    A few "micro"l Friction Folders

    A few "micro" Friction Folders I call this design the "San" - after one of the indigenous Bushman tribes here in South Africa. This is the "micro" version - sporting a 2" blade and an open OAL of about 5" - so still a usable size but quite small. Nice size for a watch pocket or keyring. I also...

    A few recently completed folders - Joseph Rodgers pattern

    I have only recently become more active on KD after being a member for quite a while, so I thought to show some of my work. The first lot up are based on a Joseph Rodgers knife I inherited from my grandfather. It has been honed to the point where the blade tip sits well above the scales, but I...

I will take some time over the weekend and post...

    Hi Everyone, I am from South Africa and I live in the Great Karoo region of the Eastern Cape on a small farm. I have been a member here for a good while, but not very active, mainly due to time constraints - there are so many forums out there it gets a little confusing sometimes, so I have...

    friction folder questions

    I have - in fact, I have put the detent in for open, half stop and closed positions - and although it is a lot more work than a standard friction folder, it works well. If I am not mistaken Boker also makes a model where they use the three detent system. And CRKT makes another variation that...
