I love all the tacticool, EDC chuckleheads complaining about how it doesn't have a lock, not knowing what a friction folder is. Not every knife is supposed to be a mall-ninja high-speed low-drag weapon you carry around thinking you're going to knife-fight terrorists and zombies with. Knives are primarily tools, and friction folders reflect this. You don't use it to fight, or beat it though logs. You use it for normal knife tasks. This is a simple cutting tool that can be carried even in the most anti-knife states, because it DOESN'T have a mechanical lock.

[@JusticeforLiberty]

Boy you are going to feel silly when terrorist or zombies attack and you are stuck with a regular knife instead of a super cool Kris blade dagger with a dragon on the handle from the outlet mall. Only those who have studied the blade will reign victoriously.

[@loubertthegreat671]

Well put.

[@greenjack1959l]

Spot on sir.

[@PennisDrager]

You say that now but, when the zombie terrorists land their helicopter in my boring suburb of Podunk, Ohio (obviously they'd come for me first) ... I will be the one stepping out of the shower, laughing, in my tactical bathrobe.

[@gunfun7772]

I first was a bit doubtful about friction folders, I got some my self. But I love those old fashion ones with that small tang thingy sticking out. They're so cool as front action knives. Adding a lock and bearings would be sick too, but it's something about the simplicity I love.

[@mrbloodclott6400]

Koss I honestly love your videos, I watch them when I’m studying or even when I want to make a few knives of my own with your technique. Thanks for the fun -Santino

Hello. I love your videos. I would love to see a video on how you made your Knife beveling jig.

[@BrownerFucksYou]

Сделай в пятке рычага углубление, а в соприкасающейся с ней детали рукоятки поставь подпружиненный шпенек и получится простая фиксация клинка от закрывания. Как во флажках предохранителей стрелкового оружия. Просто и надежно.

Maybe missed it in here. What thickness of steel did you use on this piece?

[@maxpla1035]

Very controversial version of the knife! But the video itself and work is worthy of respect!

Why?

[@andrewfrudd108]

Nice work. How do you work out the positions of the pivot, tang and stop post?

[@danieldurbin8371]

The way I've done it is you make paper blanks of the knife and one of the scales then you basically just poke a bunch of holes until you find a orientation that works and make ne blanks with your correct orientation

[@Leib33]

1+1=2 Just make the stop posts equidistant from the pivot.

[@karinaleles1004]

Ótimo, perfeito, muito bem o seu trabalho! Like👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@tristinndavis123]

I love the video man it's just you need some more music selection it kinda gets old after hearing the same song play over and over again no offense but other than that it's a great video and I hope to get the materials to do this project

Man, your fucking rock. What is this jig you use to make the edge of the blade? Could you make a video explaining it? Seems damn genious

[@Revenant483]

[@CzarMC1]

Is there a template I can access?

[@Mr.duryong]

Good

[@alexgolden8316]

If I try this with I probably will use this technique anyway I'd find a way to implement a magnet to help lock it in both positions

[@jakethepeasant]

Normally you don't need a magnet with friction folders as there is a reasonable of friction to resist the blade moving (the extended tang helps to level the blade open and once open prevents it shutting when held in the hand). I guess there would be no downside to having magnets though.

Hi, wouldn't the wood closing mechanism damage the blades edge? Still a cool knife.

The edge doesnt touch the wood. But the material is up to you, you could use plastic or thick rubber if you want to make sure it doesnt damage the edge.
