Best regards from Germany! :-)

[ridnovir]

[12345macka]

[knivesandstuff]

@12345macka Thanks Mate

[SlinkingTiger]

I agree it does look fantastic. I wouldn't be surprised if you'll be making more in the future.

[knivesandstuff]

@SlinkingTiger Well.. 12 more in this batch :D

[arodriquez335]

Looks beautiful! man! Well done ;)

[diveorgohome]

BEAUTIFUL!!! you just made me want a friction folder. When will they be ready and how much?????

[knivesandstuff]

@diveorgohome These will be around $250USD. I've pre-sold a number of them which I'm drip feeding out between my fixed blade orders. When I finish those, I'll look at offering the others for sale in a video.

[GeoMikeCache]

What a knife, awesome. Coolest friction folder ever... IT'S AMAZING!!!

[knivesandstuff]

@GeoMikeCache Thanks :)

[canadianfortruth]

can you put a pin in the handle and use it to hold it open and i guess for holding it closed aswell???

[knivesandstuff]

@canadianfortruth My Original design is the ability to lock the blade open. see my original video 1 year ago.. the option is there on these blades for anyone that wants the tang hole exposed in the handles. Not for holding it closed.

[spuddyholly]

fantastic looking beast mate. well done! you should be proud!

[NechakoRiver]

Very nice Kyley! I really like how that looks.

[knivesandstuff]

@NechakoRiver Thanks Richard.

[flraptor07]

Very nice Kyley, I really like how stout they are! As you've seen on my folder, I'm all about heavy duty!

[knivesandstuff]

@flraptor07 Yep.. you have certainly built some real stout looking stuff. sometimes solid is good. Thanks.

[Romanlegionnaire77]

Great looking folder! Simple but elegant design...and beefiness:)

[stonybrokebushcraf]

sweet one kyley

[RevJBBrutal]

thats a beaut mate.

[MikeSoonster]

Love the Kyley convex edge and blade shape. Great work.

[mccullenj]

Very nice design. I would not want to change the blade grind. Looks perfect as it is.

[ironmonkeyz]

Very nice. Is it thicker than a multitool? Because it might fit in one of those nite ize multitool neoprene pouches or holsters. And they can be had for around $6-11

[knivesandstuff]

@ironmonkeyz Not sure.. if fits inside my leather Sebenza sleeve. I'm going to be making some sleeves for them

[johnwoodz1220]

Yeah it's a beautiful folder Kyley. One of the nicest friction folders I've seen. I can hear it. Nice

[bikingshaun]

I am loving the look of this knife!

[bobmellon]

i really really like it man amazing work, i love the beefiness of it

[knivesandstuff]

@bobmellon thanks

[SpartanJohns]

What about that locking mechanism you thought of. The hole in the handle and the pin to "turn" it into a fixed blade. Would that be too much work or would it just end up costing to much? I thought that was a great idea.

That folder looks great.

[knivesandstuff]

@SpartanJohns the option is possible, but im only doing it by request as most people dont need the feature and are concerned UK may argue its a lock :)

anyone can easily dismantle and drill the holes through the guide hole

[RDPproject]

Price wise....hmmm...

I personally think.....about....$210.

I dont know why...but that is the first number that popped into my head.

[RDPproject]

FRAK ME!!!....Almost blew my eardrums out at the start....lol

What are you filming with? cos the audio was booming out the right speaker and the left was fine...for a while...then it started to swing between the two sides, back and forth and then back to the right speaker. Maybe it wouldnt be so bad if I wasnt using headphones. But I have to for the neighbours sake.

Anyway.

You know what I liked most about this video, your fingers. I can see that you now have working hands. :-)

I love the knife.

[knivesandstuff]

@RDPproject lol.. I always have working hands.. but I heal very fast. blisters last a couple of days or more. most of that is from cooking my fingers on hot grinds and water.. lol

[SugarcreekForge]

Looks good Kyley. Simple, clean, and substantial. I like it.

[bluehulk83]

looks pretty flash to me B, keep up the great work.

[thelockkk]

Looks very nice, good job. The liners are too thick in my opinion!

[knivesandstuff]

@thelockkk Thanks.. and thats ok.. they are not liners.. they are the handle.. :D its the outside micarta that is the decorative facade. Many people will also say that the blade at 3/16" is too thick as well as the liners.. its just a preference and personal choice thing. I want this to be overbuilt and robust feeling and looking.

Thanks for watching

[thelockkk]

@knivesandstuff

I like thick blades, in my opinion the thicker the better. The knife looks really good, great attention to detail, it will be a great success! :)

[knivesandstuff]

@thelockkk Thanks.. I dont think I'll make too many.. Folders really are a different thing from fixed blades.

[knivesandstuff]

@thelockkk Sorry dude.. I'm just lauging inside at your fair comment because it makes me think of someone looking at a 100% titanium folder and saying "the liners are too thick" like a sebenza with a thin inlay on top :)

[thelockkk]

@knivesandstuff

The sabenza is a locking folder, you need all that for the locking mechanism. I think of your knife as a light use folder and all that is too much in my opinion. But, well said, it is personal preference!

[knivesandstuff]

@thelockkk Ahh.. well there is the discrepancy.. I see this as an outdoor bushcraft knife for the UK where there will be tremendous amounts of side loading from carving which is where all those thin liners weaken and fail. the purpose of the 3mm liners is to support all the pivots against lateral stress so that the knife wont fail after a year in the woods. its not abusive use.. but it is hard on folders.

[TacticalFleshlight]

Beautiful work

[questionmarke]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[AussieMark909]

Thats one solid looking bit of gear. I was amazed at just how much is involved in getting a friction folder to work correctly. Good on you for putting out there both the good and the bad of it. Enjoyed the vid, cheers Kyley.

[knivesandstuff]

@AussieMark909 thanks.. just uploaded a fast high-def.. didn't realize this was low setting

[kchee1111]

Lol thank for being upfront and real with us... i learned alot from your mistakes and honesty. Glad your here on youtube

[knivesandstuff]

@kchee1111 You are welcome. I can honestly say that the action is still better than most folders I have.. its just not as good as it was supposed to be :D if the washers wear out then blade play will develop.. wont effect performance, but will just be annoying.. the others may be fine.. I have to wait until I make each one and see.

[Nebulax123]

Very nice but I will try to get in shape and work out and all that so I can live long enough to get a liner lock from you when you make them. *LMAO*

[oldhairpin]

That, is a beast! Exactly what I would want out of a friction folder size and weight wise.

[cam131313cam]

will the steel ones weigh more than this one?

[knivesandstuff]

@cam131313cam There is a definitive heavier feel to the stainless over the titanium in hand (just holding the scales) but in reality maybe 20grams.. I'll weigh a set and let you know the difference in weight later.

[Waldhandwerk]

Very cool and strong tool! Great! All the best, Sepp

[kenthenoob]

finallyyyyy ! excited :)

[TheBrowningmaxus8833]

how much would these cost?

[knivesandstuff]

@TheBrowningmaxus8833 haven't decided, but based on the workload, and extra costs involved over a fixed blade its probably going to run around $250USD

[TheBrowningmaxus8833]

@knivesandstuff 250 dollars is not a bad price at all...I woulda gladly twice that...GREAT looking knife...thats a great deal you got...great work man!!!

[knivesandstuff]

@TheBrowningmaxus8833 Thanks for the compliments. All the best.
