I had Bret make me a Lanny's Clip not long ago, and stupid me, while trying to take some photo's, I dropped the knife on a concrete basement floor and part of the jigged bone scales cracked as it should have. I called Bret, sick to my stomach, and asked if he could repair/rebuild the original work of art and he graciously said he would. Here are some pics of what I received today.

My favorite pattern, beautifully crafted by a typically generous knife maker. I have found one of the best things about collecting

knives are the terrific people that populate this community, weather they be collectives or really use these beautiful objects, they are true Americans!

That is a good looking knife! The jigged bone is really great on there.

Gorgeous bone and jigging! Bret is truly an artist and great guy. Can't wait for my name to come up on his list.

Use, don't abuse Finn. HAhahahha.

Sage advise.

Deep hollow grinds combined with A2 make wicked sharp edges.

Pile side.

Love the contrasting A2 springs.

No pins visible ... even under the scrutiny of my Macro lens.

Brett, thanks for the great multiblade slipjoint.

I've held this one and can attest it is a wonder. The ivory set off with the etched blades, outstanding!

That's a real beauty Chief. I love ivory and that bark fits the bill. Thanks for sharing it with us.
