Got the partially serrated Bob Lum Tanto (C46PS) ordered and should be seeing it the beginning of next week sometime! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
Haven't seen or heard of anyone having the partially serrated version yet, just plain versions. Glad you 'Spyderco' offered the Tanto in the combo blade package .... my favorite blade combination! Partially Serrated Tanto, ummmm - ummmm good!
C46PS ... in the skys!
I'm sad to report that my Lum Tanto arrived yesterday and I am somewhat un-happy with it. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
The edges of the Ti handle are not as smooth as I anticipated and the liner is very thin indeed than what I thought it would be. The liner lock rests about 3/4 over on the blade tang and if flicked, almost all the way over to the other side.
The blade is sharp, but not razor sharp.
The Ti handle is a little to plain looking for my liking as well, might have looked a little better if classier rasised Torx screws were used for the assembly other than the flat Phillip head screws. This is just my opinion though, others may dissagree.
What I did like about the knife though was it's weight and tanto blade shape. Looked real nice.
I couldn't see keeping it though for just those two things I liked about it, so it is already in the air on it's way back.
I do know from the past Spyderco Knives that I have come to like much so, Spyderco is a top notch company, but how they let this one slip by I don't know! <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
