opinion on the LUM tanto

Hello guys! LUM's tanto is an admirable piece of art. What impresses me the most, is the fine finish and materials used. So, what do you guys think of it other than its beauty?

I think (looking at the Lum clipped to my pocket) that the Lum is the most elegant full sized tanto folder I've ever seen. Everything about it says class.

Oh, yeah - It's also full on tough, with a beautiful grind.

Sam,
To use your phrase: Lum ROCKS! It slices, it dices, it looks great, feels great, handles great. It gives you the feel of power that the Samuari must have felt handling a beautifully constructed piece of steel. I have several Tanto bladed knives. The Lum is the only one I get this feeling from.
By the way - I LOVE MY LUM!!

Built like a tank and weighs almost as much, another great Spyderco knife.<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Sam -

OWL on BF is selling plain edge #238. He got it from me, and I got it from Bob Lum.
