Huh? The whole design is based on the blade being held in place by the pressure of your hand holding, and the pressure of the cutting action- even if you mean “messing about, stabbing or using the knife as a drill” you’re still holding a safe knife?
Test stuff before you write about it?

a friction folder is one of the most dangerous pockets knives for the user because your grip is not guaranteed and is loose in the hand. your hand is not a sure lock for the friction folder. ill hand you a friction folder with a simple task and watch you cut your fingers or even your hand. i carry a friction folder everyday because i like it but im aware of its danger to self despite it being the weakest secure blade. they are very fun to make.

[…] Friction folder’is yra sulenkiamas peilis, kuris neturi jokio geležtės uždarymo mechanizmo ar spyruoklių. Jis naudoja rankenos trintį prieš geležtės strypą/įkotę (angl. tang), kad liktų atlenktas. Per daugelį metų, dizainas adaptavosi prie geresnio prisitaikymo žmonių poreikiams ir geležtės strypas/įkotė buvo prailgintas – tai leido peilio naudotojui ranka prilaikyti, kad geležtė išliktų atlenkta (šaltinis >>>).
