"What are your plans for this one ???"  

I have liked the Tony Bose "Lanny's Clip" design since I first spotted it.

As a custom knife is way out of my (Beer Budget) league and even the Case/Bose version is fetching big big dollars on the secondary market.

Noting that the 112 Buck blade is 'similar' to the Lanny's I am going to try to make my own version.  A few points/disclaimers ...  All of the Lanny's I have seen on line are flat ground the Buck is Hollow ground ... the Buck is a lock back the Lanny is not ... so my version will be a 'tad' out of proportion with the lock back spring at the butt end.

(Sometimes you have to get up on the high board and just dive on in)

You'll end up with a very high quality custom knife when you're done, Derek.  

Both a strong workhorse .. given the Buck 110 starting point ...and... an extremely attractive "custom folder" .. that wood is sweet.

!! . Very nice . !!

Derek,

This is starting to be pretty impressive!  Diving off the high board has done you well

Sometimes 'stuff' just takes over (Life - earning a $) and getting back on track with projects can take time BUT ... I finally got there!!

Obviously using the same components means the knives are roughly the same length but the modded version is much slimmer.

Very happy with how this turned out and the things I learnt along the way ....
