Just thought maybe if I called it, it would come out for us to buy one already! Maybe it's shy? ;)

We can hope :)
Warhammer 40000 is- basically- Lord Of The Rings on a cocktail of every drug known to man and genuine lunar dust, stuck in a blender with Alien, Mechwarrior, Dune, Starship Troopers, Fahrenheit 451 and Star Wars, bathed in blood, turned up to eleventy billion, set on fire, and catapulted off into space screaming "WAAAGH!" and waving a chainsaw sword- without the happy ending.

The Chinese folder has such nice simple lines. I'm really looking forward to this one. The new friction folder reminds me of the Chinese Lum so that ones on my radar as well.

It's about as classy as a knife can get. I use it lightly, but its a great slicer. definitely a nice knife. The blade feels bigger than the handle. With a few tweaks, it could be a real user/work knife.

Saw that one too LC, not sure if I'm in on this one, seems a little steep price wise, heck for another $5 you can get the Manix2 S110V ;)

I was excited when I first heard of if because I love my nishijin lum. But it turned out to be a little too lil for me. If it was Cat/Chap size I'd be all over it.

$130 is less than I was expecting. It seems Spyderco doesn't get out of bed for less than $200 these days. And it's early bird pricing. Maybe $100 - $115 street price? That's not crazy, it's Native 5 G-10 territory.

Wish this came in a different color G-10 and SE.

I do not know. I was looking at the photos and comments and it seems to me that this knife is a cut finger waiting to happen.

Short Wire Clip Please!

#18

Post by LC Kid »

Hi Folks!


I've been a long time Lum's Chinese Folder fan, and really like this new Lil' version.

But I still hope the clip gets improved. The last pic from the 2016 Amsterdam Meet doesn't really encourages me to get one... :rolleyes:

And I'm not the only one who think it would be awesome with a Short Wire Clip, like in the D'Fly or in the Ouroboros. :spyder:

My thoughts exactly.. Will probably end up buying it anyway just for the collection.

Lucked up on one this morning. Love it. Discovered it while the employee was unpacking the shipping box. Purchased the Lil Lum before it hit the shelf.
