Will the VG-10 lum Tanto have Ti handle?
Will the VG-10 lum Tanto have Ti handle?
If there will, I will definately go get one asap!
Hi Golem,
Where did you hear about a VG-10 Lum Tanto? My most up to date info indicates that it will remain ATS-55 for 2002. While ATS-55 is discontinued, I think Spyderco has enough stocks remaining to leave a few knives ATS-55 for the next year at least. This includes the Lum Tanto, Cricket, etc. (as listed in the 2002 catalog).

Hi Golem,
I rememebred the bit about testing the Chinook -- and maybe even putting one of the test units up for grabs on a contest. I found the post you refered to:

Hi Golem. We have BG-42 on hand. Have plans for a few models for testing.
The Police and Lum folding Tanto will go to VG-10. The Chinook is using CPM-440V. We're currently testing the Chinook with VG-10, but there are no plans for a steel change at this time.

Based on this, the safe (and most likely) answer to your question would be that the VG-10 Lum tanto will only be in G-10 with a black blade (as the current model).

Steel changes in models do not conform to dates. They are the result of running our of the old steel before implementing the newer steel.
Spyderco owned ATS-55 so we had to make up a large amount of stel when we made it. The Lum folding Tanto, which is currently being made in ATS-55 will switch over when the ATS-55 is gone. This will occur some time in 2002, but we don't know exactly when. We listed the ATS-55 in the catalog because we cannot begin the year with the new steel.
hope that helps. The Titan handles are gone, so for now, G-10 is the way.
