Triple folder in Italy new invented

Post by Vagabund »

It seems that a knife maker came up with a very original idea, went to the patent office and registered the old triple folder as his own design :lol: .

https://www.knifeshop.com/en/product/56 ... cu-77.html

As I know this exact same design was marketed by the french knife maker Fred Perrin almost 15 years ago as Le Pititri Trifold.
Then came the Case triple-fold and later the Cold steel triple action which I liked most.

Now the same design is maketed as "an amazing idea by Italian master cutler Ottonello Roberto". :lol:
I don't know, maybe I'm just misinformed...

The tri-fold design is even older than that!
I believe KaBar made one in the 1950s.
