Foliage Green Lum Chinese ??
For some reason I sense that there will be a run of Foliage Green Almite Lum Chinese folder in both Satin and Black blade....
Am I right?
Will there be a run of Foliage Green Lum Chinese?
Thanks

Sure hope not. With all the possible colors out there to choose from and possible with almite, doing another run in green, and a rather unattractive shade of green at that, would be kind of sad. Going the black bladed route would be even sadder. There's something particularly profane about weaponizing a knife as elegant as the Chinese Folder.ClockWork wrote:For some reason I sense that there will be a run of Foliage Green Almite Lum Chinese folder in both Satin and Black blade....

I'd also tend to think that if Foliage Green were to be used, it would be G-10, not almite. Spyderco seems to have purchased that in bulk and has a bunch of it to use up.

I agree with you 100% on both accounts. If this happen it would to break my heart like FG on new Schempps

How about a Deep Blue? A purple wouldnt be bad, or even a gunmetal. But Foliage green on a Chinese? a Black blade on teh chinese? I would have to agree I wouldnt like it at all. its not a tactical knife, as the others have stated. It is a work of art, and its variations have to help not distract from that mentality.
I have a small collection.. At least in my mind its small. All respect to Sal and this great company! Collector Club Member #120

I wish that Sal or Taz would pop in and go ahead and confirm this for me.
These knives aren't my idea. I also strongly dislike Foliage green. I just have a hunch they're coming.
Careful though. Some of the words you have chosen might be a bit... embarrassing, and... maybe a bit harsh.

i'd venture to say that if there's tons of FG G-10 to use up, a foliage green dodo would perhaps be more of a crowd-pleaser... :D or, well, at least the forumite crowd would be pleased...
the lum chinese is a truly amazing spydie -- one of the finest, most artful spydies ever produced. or production folders, for that matter. when i think about the idea of giving it a "tactical" overhaul (via foliage green G10... or almite???), i think about it losing its refined beauty as a gent's folder. that's why i think the concept might be "disasterous."
although, someone capable of doing a good photoshop rendering might be able to get me to think otherwise? i guess i'd have to see it first?
CF lum chinese... now that would be more to my taste... :D

I'm not adversely affected by colors unless they are pink. I'll buy one for a good cause, but wouldn't carry a pink one unless it was the last spyderco on earth.
The thought of this green Lum certainly got a stronger reaction than I would have guessed beforehand.
I'm more interested to see if it will still be ZDP. If so, I'll certainly buy it. I still love ZDP, and will never get bored with it.
We'll see, won't we? Joe

When I first head about the sprint run of a new Bob Lum Chinese Folder, I had thought (and hoped) it might be higher end and done in something other than Almite. I was thinking Carbon Fiber - or Titanium.
I agree with Paul, the Chinese Folder is an elegant knife, and though I am actually very fond of Foilage Green G10, I don't think it (or any G10) would be suitable for that particular knife.
If there is to be another go at it, my hope again would be for CF scales.
And I do hope there will be another go at it :D
Just my two cents.
