There is a lot of love out there for this knife. It would sell, and I’d wager it would outsell many knives in Spyderco’s current lineup.Larry_Mott wrote:I don't know how many it would take to saturate the market though..

Re: BHQ with a hap40 Lum Tanto exclusive?
I am beyond shocked! :eek:
Ok, maybe not beyond shocked, but at the very least I have arrived at shocked. Was this a 40 piece run?! Who bought them all?! And how did I manage to get one?!
Clearly they need to make more. May I suggest khaki G-10 or Pakkawood?

Re: BHQ with a hap40 Lum Tanto exclusive?
The 4” blade is too big for my regular use. Wondering what a lil Lum with 3 1/4” blade would look like.PayneTrain wrote: Clearly they need to make more. May I suggest khaki G-10 or Pakkawood?

Saw that. I'm guessing the quantity was only around 600 then.GarageBoy wrote:On Instagram they said that's it

Re: BHQ with a hap40 Lum Tanto exclusive?
I was click happy. I clicked on through the free shipping. I also added two items while waiting for it to go live. So I'm sure I won't get mine till Monday.Tdog wrote:Got my tracking # :D :spyder:

KC exclusive in Pakkawood? That would be excellent.PayneTrain wrote:Clearly they need to make more. May I suggest khaki G-10 or Pakkawood?
Re: BHQ with a hap40 Lum Tanto exclusive?
Interesting how much more expensive this Lum was than the hap40 pakkawood endura... and I thought the endura was pricey.

Without knowing the differences in materials cost (blade steel thickness), machining, etc., it seems they would also would make some sort of payment to Bob Lum’s estate, right?rivy wrote:Interesting how much more expensive this Lum was than the hap40 pakkawood endura... and I thought the endura was pricey.

Re: BHQ with a hap40 Lum Tanto exclusive?
yeah, maybe a very small run? hard to believe they sold that many at that price. a lot of people said that weren't interested due to price, tanto blade, large size, scale color, steel type, etc. heck, even i passed and i have been buying a ton lately. :D looks like the PM2 Jade DLC is going to be a 30 second sell out if this was a 15 min one.rivy wrote:I agree about the size of this run... hard to believe there were even 600 if they are truly sold out already.

Re: BHQ with a hap40 Lum Tanto exclusive?
Dying to know the size of the run. I have been clamoring for the return of this model and missed it.
Had it in cart twice and it then claimed it was gone both times during check out. That is with a fully pre signed in account ready.
I am completely unwilling to support the flippers on the bay.

Re: BHQ with a hap40 Lum Tanto exclusive?
I was able to score one. Was going to get another but the boss would have ripped me a new one. They sure sold out fast! :eek: :) just got notification it's coming on Friday! :)

$220 For some hap40 and g10, to rich for my blood. I am scared to see what knives will cost in the next few years.

Then there’s the Chaparral Lightweight at 80-something, which for that price brings tons of value.Spider bite wrote:$220 For some hap40 and g10, to rich for my blood. I am scared to see what knives will cost in the next few years.

Heck, $20 more for that Raffir Noble? Best looking knife I own and below average cost! Sure, they played me like a fiddle on the Tanto, but I just had to have it...Molle Ninja wrote: Then there’s the Chaparral Lightweight at 80-something, which for that price brings tons of value.
