..."It's deja vu all over again!"...

Just a few days ago we were treated here in the forum to a beautiful Lanny's Clip by Enrique Pena in some of Enrique's brown jigged bone.

Today, I have been fortunate enough to receive my own version of this beautiful Tony Bose pattern as executed by Enrique with his own jigged and dyed bone reminiscent of the "A.G. Russell" bone we've become enamored with in the past.

A few years ago when Bill Ruple told me that Enrique Pena was the real deal I took him seriously but had no idea just how far he'd come so quickly. Enrique has found himself in the rarefied atmosphere inhabited by some of the world's best slipjoint makers (in my humble opinion). And with each knife (I currently have four) there is an incremental step up in the design, execution, fit and finish.
In the current case, the action needs to be experienced to gain an appreciation for just how uniform, smooth and fluid it is.

This knife speaks well enough for itself so I am going to hold off on the rest of the superlatives and just let the images do the talking.

First, here are some stats:

Pattern: Lanny's Clip
Closed Length: 3 7/8"
Weight: 3 7/8 ounces
Steel: CPM-154 @ 59 Rc
Liners & Bolsters: Integral, Milled/Relieved 410 Stainless
Pivot Bushing
Scales: Enrique Pena jigged & dyed bone
Pinned Shield / Fluted Bolster
Pins: Spun

I couldn't be happier with this knife.

As always, your thoughts and comments are invited.
 
That is beautiful. The grinds look perfect and the jigging is beyond belief.
 
Sir, you are indeed a fortunate man to have that Knife.

It is indeed beautiful, thank you for all the pictures.

Timeless perfection Elliott,

Cheers,
Guy
 
That is one beautiful knife, Elliott!

I can't stop looking at the second pic from the top. The bone and jigging are drop dead gorgeous!
 
That Lanny's Clip is a beauty Elliott! That jigged bone is so nice. Congratulations on that one.
 
Thanks, guys. I forgot to mention that it's sharp too! :p

:thumbup:
 
That's a real heartbreaker Elliott! All curves and color.
Congrats!
 
I'm glad you guys liked it. You all are the ones that keep me trying to improve. Thanks to all for your comments.
 
I remember that knife. I'm saving every penny for grinder wheels and a motor at this time, but I was real tempted to pull the trigger on that one. I'm a Lanny's fan for sure and the coloring of the bone is exactly how I like it. Congratulations.

I really wasn't in the market for a new single blade (let alone another "Lanny's Clip") but since I recently raised some cash in lieu of trades I just couldn't resist its siren song.
Thanks for the good words, gentlemen. :thumbup:
 
Elliot..I saw this in Enriques thread..and thought WOW!!..., now that you have posted it again..I got to looking at the jigging
pattern, and...yep...that's a winner for sure!!...once again we are treated to your fine selection of a knife, and this one stands with the rest of them...absolutely beautiful!
 
Very cool Elliott. I like everything about it. Looking at the backspring, you can't even see the lines
