Tin Type here, for Sawbones.... He sent me some photos of his knives and ask me to put them on here... They are made by DOUBLE EDGE FORGE. He says they are simple friction folders, antler grips, with a beaver tail tang. Very durable, high quality, and period correct. He uses them for everything from castarating calves, to cutting casts off in the office.... Please contact "Sawbones" for any and more infomation... I jest posted the photos and his note to me.....

sawbones that is one dandy knife. very impressive

those are some nice knives sawbones congratulations.

Thanks a lot Tin Type! I appreciate you posting those for me very much. I wish I could have figured it out myself. But, as a computer genius I make a pretty good sawbones.

Anyhow, these knives are great. They work and feel better than any folding knives I have had before! I hope you all like the photos, and thanks again Tin Type for doing that.

Yer welcome Sawbones,

As a sawbones, I make a pretty fair photographer. And a so - so computer dude... I still beleive in Smoke signals...

Attractive. But, honestly, they look dangerous to me. Without some kind of spring or lock affair to hold closed, I fear they could come open in your pocket.

I have been making these for about 18 yrs and nothing, to my knowlage, has ever happened like that. The blades are fairly tight and will not open or close on their own. If they do loosen up some a couple of taps with a peen on the pin cures that. Friction folders have been around for centuries without locks or springs.

fine looking knives...........



crockett nor boone had a lock blade knife.so i dont want one either..............

The way these knives are built, they don't come open on there own at all. Locks and springs are not needed or wanted!
