The La Griffe Friction Folder plays off Fred Perrin's fixed blade design and does so in marvelous fashion. It retains a finger hole at the intersection of the blade and handle in the form of the pivot. The blade's tang extends for opening and, in a bad situation has the capacity to be used as a knuckle. This La Griffe Pliante has a drilled G-10 handle and is outfitted with a lanyard for quick access from the neck knife Kydex sheath and quick-action opening.
