And home of Tuukka!
I like the watches and Fiskars does make nice scissors, though.
Which U.S. knife company in the same area were we talking about?

I believe you are referring to Lone Wolf Knives, started by a past president of Gerber and one of his top guys while there. They make a couple folders of mine using the CPM S-30V steel. Lone Wolf is in Portland Oregon.

That's a Lone Wolf T2 (CPM-S30V) that I carry, and it is one hell'uva Knife. The blade/edge is practically indestructable, and has easily been recovered when I have "dinged" it. Other than a slight "discoloration" problem, that was easily cured, it is flawless !!!!
Take care.

The official NAVSCOLEOD take on the demo knife thing is that it must be, above all else, a fixed blade design. Presumably, this is to eliminate sparking risk.
Your take?

I have never seen a folding knife spark while opening the blade.
I have used folders and fixed blades to make a spark with a flint or mag bar.
Sounds more like either a speed/ease of use requirement, or someone writing the requirements to favor a certain manufacturer.

Just a guess from me but probably so there would be no joint failure or accidental closing when the knife is used hard. Also a fixed blade is harder to lose because they are usually bigger than a folder. This may be a factor at night or in water. Speaking of water, this often involves gloves and it's hard to draw and open a folder wearing gloves. You can reach down and draw a fixed blade from a sheath while diving. Going back to my first point, good fixed blades are stronger than good folders because they don't have the pivot joint.
