Been putting some thought into what I would want as an EDC folder for work. I've wanted one of Rick's Lanny's for a bit but probably out of my price range I'm comfortable with. So after a little searching I see that Case makes one. Anyone have experience with Case's Lanny's clip model? I figured you guys would be the best resource. Seems as though I can get one in the 265-315 range. They worth it?

They are built like a custom but I'd get a Lloyd

Id get a rick Menefee

Rick I would love to but I'm sure it would be the cost of a new rifle.

....me too........or that Dowell guy..

Vince what's one to expect $$ wise for a Lloyd? Probably too much also. Scared I would lose the damn thing.

265 any configuration,315 with elephant ivory

Lloyd Hale?

John Lloyd

This thread sucks without pictures. Just saying.

"Lanny's Clip" by John Lloyd

A smaller one in stag

here's one with amber stag & long nail pull & engraving by my cousin

That shadow looks real good. I just about pulled the trigger on that one a few weeks ago.

Woodson I ordered what you want

Well the whole Case idea went out the window. Vince got me hooked up, yet again. Thanks dude.

Ain't no flies on the case, damned good design, but Vince is right. John's knives just keep getting better and better and there is a ton of value in what you're getting over the case. I carry one of John's daily and I like the fact that I don't worry about usin' the chit outa it. If you want the best of the best, Rick and Brett are it but the damned things are so pretty, I still hesitate about getting blood on 'em. Rick constantly tells me to wear the damned thing out and he'll just build me another, but his and Brett's are damned near like artwork.

I have similar peeves Right now I will not carry a knife Rick made me,a pocketknife,'til someone buys the one in my pocket. I've asked a few guys,some asked me,they all passed on it.
I can't see scratching up two,at the same time.But it is different for me as I always have new specials on the menu,here.
On the same frigged up notion,I got a client in France that will pay me big bucks for the one that is a safe queen,right now & I won't sell it to him. And,if he knew I heald out,I run the risk of loosing his friendhip & patronageship (is that a word ?) Word
Its screwed up. But John's knives,last two batches were really friigin good. Next batch price is going up to cover Paypal & shipping.

Got word from Vince that my J. Lloyd Lannys clip is being shipped Friday! Ordered 3-3/4" closed with stainless shield and bolster with Westinghouse Micarta scales. Wasn't expecting it so soon but I'm really excited to see how it turned out. Ill keep you guys posted. This damn forum is gonna make me go broke.

May be but you will sure be able to Whittle in style.

Merry Christmas woodson
I'm having ahard time not thinking this is real ivory
John did a nice job on it

Talk about a heckova Christmas present. That is a beautiful lanny's.

Dale

Knife porn at its best. That baby looks sweet. Very classy design especially with those Westinghouse scales. No shield, kept a "clean" look. Perfect EDC IMO. Thanks Vince you're the schit! Merry Christmas gentlemen.

I ask about a Case knife and end up with this baby incoming. How cool is that?

I'm normally not a fan of folders...but that one right there with the bright green canvas and no bolsters looks mighty fine.

I got my Lloyd LC today and its awesome! Thanks Vince.

Can you give me an idea what the elephant ivory scales look like?

woodson's knife ,delivered,was a ringer for ivory,so that'd be a good idea.
This was a recent built folder by Lloyd w/ el. ivory


Every knife will be a little different & possible small pin checks with elephant ivory.

What price for either a Drop Point folder or a Lanny's Clip with popcorn stags? Seems like I saw one of his drop point folders on bladeforum, and it resembled the Lanny's clip as far as the handle. Correct?

Thanks Vince.

SL, you thinking of getting a LC?

How do you like yours now that you had time to use it?

I love it. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Only time it leaves my pocket is when I'm at work. I'm a registered nurse. They would probably frown upon me chopping bandages and such with a pocket knife. I would recommend getting one. I like the LC design so much that I'm have my name in Bret Dowells book for another LC but with a second blade with a round tip for gutting.

IMHO your best bet is to watch Bladeforums where I sell these. I describe each knife,the fit & finish,walk n talk etc, with 7 photo's of every folder. Seeing one built,knowing how it came out,action,etc. Is an advantage. There are many varying factors on a slipjoint folder,all different & all different makers,too.

PS I'll keep an eye out for what you are looking for

I may have missed it, but what kind of blade steel does Lloyd use on these knives?

Not trying to speak for Vince, but I know John works with 154CM and also works with 52100.

Dale

Yeah my LC is 154CM.

I have my Westinghouse LC FS on our classifieds. Looking for a larger one. Check it out.
