The North Mountain Blade Lanny Thin Slip Joint Pocketknife blends traditional pocketknife style with refined materials and a slim, easy-carry profile. Inspired by the classic Lanny’s Clip pattern, this knife delivers the timeless look collectors appreciate while providing the performance and durability needed for everyday use.
Its 2.91” blade is crafted from SLD-Magic three-layer steel produced through genuine hot forging rather than surface laser engraving. This real forged construction creates a true layered steel structure that improves durability and cutting performance while producing a distinctive forged line along the blade. Hardened to approximately 61 HRC, the blade offers excellent edge retention and dependable strength, making it well suited for daily cutting tasks while maintaining a sharp working edge for extended use.
The handles are crafted from smooth natural bone, giving the knife a clean, classic appearance that fits perfectly within the traditional pocketknife style. Natural bone provides a comfortable grip and develops character over time as it ages with use. Ringed nickel silver bolsters reinforce the frame while adding a refined traditional accent, and an inlaid nickel silver shield completes the handle with a timeless finishing detail.
The slip joint mechanism provides reliable non-locking operation with solid backspring tension, delivering the smooth, traditional action pocketknife enthusiasts expect. Its slim frame carries easily in the pocket, measuring 4.1” closed and weighing just 2.85 ounces, making it an ideal companion for everyday carry.
