Cranberry Lum is the legend. It is prototype. One or two were made. You will be able to find some info, if you search this forum. Some pictures as well.

Hi Jan!


The Cranberry Lum is a Holy Grail like very few else. I've only seen it pics, like twice in the last 10 years. :D

If you are really interested don't let it pass. Right now it is up to $ 305, but I'm sure it'll be around $ 500 at the end of the bid. :rolleyes:

AFAIK there have been 2 in the wild. Don't remember who had them though..

So the pink Lum Chinese knives aren't just Cranberry Lums that have faded from sitting out in the sunlight? There goes my retirement nest egg...

:cool:

Hello again Spydie fans,
I am Swede and haven't been here for many years. A decade ago, I amassed over 600 Spyderco knives. I have sold a lot of them off on ebay and right now the cranberry Lum is mine. I am so glad to be back among friends!!

I know who "ShrinkyDave" is>> And I encountered him and got to know him originally on Ebay many years ago. I would have no problem dealing with him at all. He is actually a member of this forum as well but I haven't seen him post in quite a while now. I remember back then that he had a lot of really obscure, one of a kind and limited edition Spyders that you didn't see many of. If my memory is doing well today I think he goes by "Swede" here on the Forum but again it's been at least 6 to 7 years since I've seen or talked to or encountered him. He also seemed like a really decent guy to me. Good Luck bidding on that one :rolleyes: I hope you got a deep wallet.

There was also a CRanberry colored Salsa that a good friend of mine had and you don't see those very often.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for re-surfacing. I'm always a little leery of buying expensive things on eBay from folks I don't know or haven't been vetted in a place like this. I feel very comfortable going after this knife now. Hope to be talking directly when the auction is over.

JD, thanks for the endorsement, means a lot coming from a long term spydie afficionado. Deep wallet? Guess we'll have to see how deep is deep.

[Scroop]

ummmmm...try $700 deep, with a day and a half left :eek:

Hi Dave, Long time no see. You are back just in time ... :rolleyes:

Hey I'm curious? What did the Cranberry Lum finally go for?

Also I do know for a fact that they once had a blue handled Dyad>> the guy I got that information from had one of the best Spyderco collections I've ever seen. I think it must have also been a prototype as well. Not even sure what blade steel it had.
No I'm not talking about those colored Dyad Jr. models either because I've had 3 of them at one time.

Also I heard that there was a Chinese Lum that there were only about a half a dozen ever made as well.

Four hours left. Current bid $700. I'm out.

Ended @ $1036.99. I was reduced to the second highest bidder in the last second. Oh well.

[Liquid Cobra]

That's pretty steep. Ouch. I can't bring myself to pony up 150 for the Nishijin version. A thousand bucks? No way! But I'm happy for whoever got it, nice knife.

At that price, might as well get a custom from someone. :)

True...although I'm still disappointed. Oh well, to quote MCM a while back, "It's a marathon, not a sprint." I have plenty of time to find other rare Spydies. :)

[swigert]

Wow that's a lot. Beautiful knife though

[farnorthdan]

Wow, :spyder: collectors are a crazy bunch.... :D

[RadioactiveSpyder]

Well that was a fun ride... I was also a bidder on that auction, tagging out at a respectable $475 total (well, what I thought was respectable ). I figured it would top out at around $800 or $900, I was surprised it topped over $1K. Guess I should have figured with GS bidding on it :p :eek: :rolleyes:

I wonder if another forumite here picked it up, and whether they might come forward with some more pics! Cheers to the winner, Radioactive :)
