The North Mountain Blade Lanny Thin Slip Joint Pocketknife delivers classic pocketknife style in a slimmer, refined profile built for everyday carry. Inspired by the traditional Lanny’s Clip pattern, this knife combines elegant materials with precision craftsmanship to create a tool that feels as good in the hand as it looks in the pocket.
The 2.91” blade is crafted from SLD-Magic three-layer steel, created through genuine hot forging rather than surface laser engraving. This process forms a true layered steel construction that improves durability while producing a distinctive forged appearance along the blade. Hardened to approximately 61 HRC, it holds a keen working edge and offers excellent edge retention for daily cutting tasks. Whether opening packages, tackling small shop work, or handling routine chores, the blade delivers reliable performance while maintaining its sharpness longer.
The handle scales are crafted from richly figured desert ironwood, a premium hardwood prized for its natural strength, stability, and striking grain patterns. Dense and durable, desert ironwood resists cracking and warping while providing a smooth, comfortable grip. Ringed nickel silver bolsters add classic styling and structural reinforcement, while the inlaid nickel silver shield completes the knife’s traditional look with a refined finishing detail.
Built on a dependable slip joint mechanism, the knife offers smooth traditional operation without a lock while maintaining solid backspring tension. Its slim design carries easily in the pocket, measuring 4.1” closed and weighing just 2.85 ounces.
