The Token is a variation of my forged Turnstile Friction Folders based on a very small box opener I have. These have a one-sided convex grind on the left side. Perfect for opening boxes or a little something. 

The locking system is your hand. I make them on the tight side where they can be opened with two hands. To change the action and make it looser, wrap the blade in leather and put it in a vise. Add a little oil or WD40 and work the handle open and closed. To tighten the action place the rivet end on a hard surface like that vice and lightly tap the other end of the rivet with a hammer. You got this.
