Bill Ruple is a master at making slip joint folders. He has taught and inspired so many knifemakers on how to make folding knives, that it's almost impossible to list them. You have to hold one of Bill's knives to truly appreciate the fit and finish, and his attention to detail. He has been making knives since 1988. The quality of his knives has been consistent throughout his career. No matter what show he attends, he always sells out - and quickly! This knife is Brand New and direct from Bill. This large Lanny's Clip slip-joint folder features a Chad Nichols Starfire Damascus blade, 416 stainless steel bolsters with a carve-out, 416 SS pins and liners, and a lanyard hole. The scales are beautifully matched amber jigged bone, and there is an inlaid elongated oval shield on the presentation side. The knife has a half-stop, locks up tight with no blade play, and the blade seating is perfectly centered. Nice long nail nick, with a firm and smooth pull. Great walk-and-talk from the master! Comes in a padded, zippered case.
