Wood, Barry - Venice, CA

Mr. Wood (1925 – 2014) was considered a knifemaker innovator with not only this SwingLock design and other knife patterns, but handle materials and blade materials. Wood design folders have no backsprings. The knife opens like a sideways butterfly and is held either open or closed by frame pressure that pushes a small domed pin on the inside of the frame into a recess perfectly fit for it.
