The North Mountain Blade Lanny Slip Joint Pocketknife blends traditional pocketknife design with impressive modern materials, delivering a refined everyday carry that’s built to perform. Inspired by classic Lanny’s Clip patterns, this knife carries the clean lines and timeless style collectors appreciate while offering the durability needed for daily cutting tasks.
Its 3.13” blade is crafted from SLD-Magic three-layer steel, produced through genuine hot-forging rather than surface laser etching. This forging process creates a true layered construction that enhances both strength and cutting performance while giving the blade a distinctive forged appearance. Hardened to approximately 61 HRC, the blade delivers excellent edge retention and durability, making it well suited for regular everyday use while still sharpening easily when needed. The result is a blade that performs reliably while showcasing the craftsmanship that goes into its construction.
The handle is made from rich desert ironwood, a material prized for its natural beauty, strength, and stability. Its dense grain and warm color give the knife an elegant, almost heirloom-quality appearance while remaining highly resistant to cracking or warping over time. Ringed nickel silver bolsters add a touch of classic detail while reinforcing the frame, and an inlaid nickel silver shield completes the traditional look with a refined finishing touch.
Built as a slip joint, this knife offers dependable non-locking operation that reflects the heritage of traditional pocketknives while remaining practical for modern carry. It measures 4.25” closed, making it a comfortable size for the pocket while still offering plenty of cutting capability.
