Ultralight Slipjoint
Ultralight slipjoints in O1 tool steel. These slippies have G10 liners and a simple mono material scale, either micarta or carbon fibre, and as such are extremely light in the pocket. UK carry friendly, unassuming but of course shaving sharp and highly capable. Nice and snappy walk and talk.
O1 tool steel blade and spring with G10 liners and stainless hardware.

Bonsmara Friction Folder
I came up with the Bonsmara design while lusting after a Wesley Liversage rendition of the classic chute knife. The Bonsmara of course is a little more "UK friendly" with a sub 3" blade and a far less aggressive point. The swedge is unsharpened. I tend to grind these thinner, around 0.3mm BTE, but they hold up well to typical EDC tasks. They have a good presence in the hand for a UK legal, and I like these with a relatively longer tang.

Sunfish Friction Folder
The Sunfish is my "tougher use" friction folder. I leave it a little thicker behind the edge for durability, but it features a full height grind, lending it pleasing slicing behaviour. I tend to construct the handles out of durable materials like micarta and G10 that handle wet and messy conditions well and remain grippy. The blade has a forward biased belly making it useful for a variety of tasks. I often EDC one of these and have found it extremely handy when camping as a reasonable balance between camp chef and light wood processing duties.
