The new U1 (you won!) folder will be an 85 mm (3.35") slip-joint thing, all in steel which means that it's gonna to be a slim fellow for pocket use. The knife you carry everyday, all the time, the legual thing, except for airports.
The steel is a laminated powder steel, the blade will be convex ground. The best ground...
We will add a leather pouch for those who wish to avoid pocket dust into the "mechanism". Years ago, this was a gentleman's issue but I think the norms have changed since then. Gentlemen or not, we usually feel comfortable with a tool in a slim case but if you dislike it, put the pouch away.
The idea:
To offer a legual, non-aggressive folder for everyday use. No lock is required, it's not that kind of a knife, it's really not a fighter. It's a knife for daily tasks for the urban fellow.
Since I'm a hunter, I think this U1 will be found in many hunters pockets.
The folder will be easy to open for both lefties and righties.
The knife will outperform any knife with regards to edge retention + availability. And price.
A wolf in sheep clothing. We Swedes like it that way!
