Go Devil,
Back to that Friction Folder. My friend, Master Bladesmith Wayne Goddard says he has seen some interesting archeological drawings from excavations at Hadrians Wall in Birtain.
The Roman camp being dug up had a folder with no back spring but included the back tab common to the friction folder.
Hadrians Wall was begun in AD 122 because the Romans were trying to hold back the pesty Pictish tribes in the North. These farmers and traders also had a reputation for a bit of raiding and piracy.
This is some old school knife design and it still works.
