Thank you for the kudos on the knife sunnyd.

This pattern is one of the few slip joints that Tony designed from scratch. It is so named after a friend of his named Lanny who is a big fella from Kentucky and required a hand full of handle.

OK, thank you very kindly for the information on the Lanny's Clip.

And you're welcome, also I sincerely hope to see more examples of your work soon!.

Thanks again,
Anthony

Tony Bose originally came up with the pattern for a customer of his named "Lanny" who was looking for a beefy clip point knife for hunting (as I recall). Tony or Kerry may be able to fill in more gaps.

Kerry's Clip is a fine homage to Tony's original creation. I can't wait to receive it.

(Edited to add that I hadn't seen Kerry's reply before typing my reply above.)
 
Please don't misunderstand this but the fact is I don't know Lanny. Now I have no doubt he is a fine man and his taste in pocket knives cannot be faulted. I certainly do not want to besmirch his good name. But when you get right down to brass tacks, I don't know Lanny from squat. Kerry I do know. Kerry's clip is something I can relate to. So, tough beans, Lanny. Kerry's clip it is.;);)

Ok now, I'm real glad I'm not standing next to you guys att. I wouldn't be surprised if a lightning bolt would rip thru the clouds and take you guys out.:eek::) Renaming a fellers creation is sacreligious or something like that. I hope ya'll didn't jinx my mojo.:D

Not to worry, Kerry. In my image albums online the knife is properly named with the proper attribution. This renamin' bidness is just informal-like 'tween friends and such. :cool:


(Kinda like when my ol' '67 Plymouth Fury III was named "The Blue Streak". Didn't change the fact that it was still a Plymouth or a Fury III. ;))
 
Thanks for the info Elliot and don't forget to show us that little gem when you receive it.

Ok then, so it will be safe to stand around and shoot the bull with you at Blade. That's good to know. :thumbup::cool:

Oh, I'm pretty sure there's plenty of other reasons for lightning bolts to shoot down from the heavens! :p

That's gonna leave a mark.
 
Just a quick update to let you all know that Kerry's knife arrived today, safe and sound.

If anything, Kerry's knife exceeds the beautiful images he supplied (and which I used for this thread). It certainly exceeds my expectations, which is saying something.

Kerry has a very promising future ahead of him in knifemaking if he so chooses.

It's nice when good people reap the benefits and rewards of their hard work.
Kerry has earned and deserves both. I couldn't be happier to say so here. :thumbup: :cool:
 
Blues,
Nice....I've had the HONOR of knowing you longer & in a diff.setting than most here.Guys....El is one of the few really good guys....I just call him my friend....this fine blade couldn'rt have gone to a nicer more diserving guy!
Good luck bro,
Jim::cool:
 
Jim,

Thanks for the kind words. See you in a couple of months.
 
very very nice knife.

i love that etch finish. looks like a great head start on a patina.

nice swedges (swedge since there is only one blade? but its on both sides so i don't know...)

very clean, tight design.

i like those bolsters too.

The etch was a nice touch by Kerry. He wrote me and told me he intended to do it and I welcomed it as it does help keep the blade in good condition when exposed to the elements.

Kerry did a very nice job on the swedge which, as Ken Erickson recently mentioned, is more difficult in his opinion to grind than the blade and it's easy to see why.

Kerry also nailed the half stop and the spring is flush with the liners in the open, closed and half stop positions.

I'm still smiling even though while I type this the highly figured surface of the sambar stag is being replicated on my butt. ;)
 
Thanks, guys. Seems this old thread has new legs. :cool:
