A pleasure to add mine to this thread

One made by by Keith Johnson and my first proper custom

Congrats. Keith did you good. Very fine first custom.

Thanks, I feel like a bit of a fake as I bought the knife from a fellow forumite in the UK (thus saving a nerve wracking shipping wait!). I will say though I've got nothing but respect for Keith's workmanship and skill. His version is top notch

I had posted it in the KR thread, but wanted to share here as well. I, too, can't say enough good things about Keith's work:

Killer hollow grind on that one Jason. :thumbup:

 

[tomsch]

The grind and overall look of this knife is amazing!!

I guess I can throw my recent rendition in with the beautiful knives pictured here.

This is rapidly becoming my favorite pattern (along with coffin jacks).

Not only my first Lanny's Clip - but my first folder - PERIOD!!
Four of us northern Minnesota-type-fellas talked Keith Johnson into giving us a few folder making pointers one weekend about a month ago.
If I'm not mistaken, Keith had never built a LC lockback.
So there were even a few hurdles for Keith to jump, as well.
I, and another fellow actually slept in the shop.
We all brought food for the weekend and offered our support to the others.
Each of our knives ended up being full sole-authorship in the end.
All in all, one of the most enjoyable learning experiences I've had in my career.
My hat is off to Keith for giving us this opportunity.
This is how mine ended up:
I just got it all hot-blued today.
I make my own Damascus, so that part was easy.
1095/15N20 "hammer-laddered", 324 layer.
1080 lock-bar/spring, 15N20 frame.
And the scales are pre-1910 original Bakelite, of which I have a nice supply!
And, the pocket clip is 15N20.
I wanted a hefty knife. No way this will ever ride in the bottom of a pocket - just too heavy.
I see many more variations of this pattern in my future!

Pocket clips are normally a no-no in Traditional. We'll make an exception for this one.

Thank you. Being my first foray into knives that "move", I wasn't aware of the restrictions in this forum.
I'll read up. :thumbup:
