Friction Folder ![A friction folder has a freely moving blade without any restraints or locking mechanisms. This knife features an extended tang to open the blade quickly and to keep the opened blade in place with the hand that holds the knife. This knife design has been used for centuries. Friction Folders are non-locking making them ideal for UK legal pocket knives. Friction folding knives are the original folding pocket knife. Before the invention of slipjoint and locking knives, all folding knives used the friction of the blade tang against the handle and the pressure of your hand to stay open. The absence of a lock means that these knives are best for light cutting tasks. Friction folders have also been known as "penny knives" but that's from many years in the past.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

In order to achieve a hardness of approximately 61 HRC, the material is heated to over 1000 degrees celsius and then immediately quenched with a special oil. The subsequent tempering at about 200 degrees celsius gives the blade elasticity and toughness. While called silver steel it contains no silver but it’s called so due to its bright appearance. Similar in specification to 80CrV2 so good toughness and edge holding.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

Dovo Solingen (Germany) ![For hundreds of years, this city in the west of Germany has been known as the knife capital. This dates back to the 14th century! The first official knife makers' guild from Solingen dates back to 1678. Over the years, Solingen knife makers have become some of the best in the world. Home to many heritage scissormakers, and perhaps better known worldwide for its knife industry, Solingen is affectionately known as der Klingenstadt, or the City of Blades.
