I hesitated a little before posting this since, strictly speaking, this isn't a Bose made knife, but it is the next best thing.

The knife, made by Kerry Hampton under Tony's tutelage is based upon Tony's "Lanny's Clip" pattern and Tony was kind enough to do the heat treat.

So, if you don't mind taking a look, I'll just provide you a link to the images and comments on this little beauty that Kerry was kind enough to build on my behalf:

Lanny's Clip by Kerry Hampton

Thanks, Kerry!

Well HOdeedo...what have we here?! I think you'll like it Elliott.

Tony is great to allow me to work in his warm and well equipped shop, and ofcourse the breakfast by MamaBose Saturday was nothing to sneeze at. On a full stomach, that Lanny's Clip went together better than any knife I have made to date. It's going to be a dandy user for you I am sure of that.

Well, I guess I should count myself lucky that it wasn't one of those Monday or Friday knives.

Many thanks to the Bose clan for making sure that your belly was full and you were able to tackle the project head on.

Thanks, Kerry. This will be a special knife for sure.
