So, the impetus for this post is all the fault of

Have quite a few LC folders and haven't bought one in a while now. Seeing
mitch13
's the other week prompted me to contact Kizer in USA, and hey presto, two weeks later, here she is - the one at the bottom in the pics.
Would suggest this is a thoroughly precision made gentleman's Lannys Clip folder - not for hard use, though some would say why not.
The walk n talk on this one is high pitched and just so cool. There's a recess in the butt to add a lanyard, which I will. Blade 74mm, cutting edge 63mm. The damascus blade - know not what the steels are, but very nicely done - and it's through n through.......not an etched 'damascus'.
Here in UK have been asked - does it compare to the Jack Wolf of similar style.........yes, but the JW is more robust and solid, slightly bigger.
This Kizer Trestle is in a class of its own for modern Lanny's Clip folders on the showy side, yet still highly functional. If it has a close compatriot, then likely the JE Made Lanny's Clip folders are similar in size and feel.
The Romano and the Dowell are in a class of their own, simply stunning........but the price difference is of great magnitude too.
Please post away with any of your own Lanny's Clip folders and their old n new / traditional n interpretation differences...
