Jealous is an understantement!! I cant wait to get my hands on one. Waiting for it to hit the SFO store and its a done deal. I checked the smkw site...nothing..they must be in store only. Any chance of some pics?The stock photo thats on every site is terrible and doesnt show the sheath.spydieman wrote:I opened the plastic bag and it says "276 of 1200".Demon85z wrote:Awesome!!

Re: Bob Lum Darn Dao
I collect them all, and use them all! I use the excuse, "I'm trying to find the perfect one", but in reality, they are all perfect in their own way!
Re: Bob Lum Darn Dao
Looking forwards to picking one up. Looks like a veritable dream come true!

Re: Bob Lum Darn Dao
Is the top edge/swedge sharpened on these?
Edit: oh, I see...nope.

Daos are, by definition, single-edged. 'Darn' (or 'Dan') means single, so this is a single single-edged sabre (as opposed to dual wielding sabres). The word is also used for knives in general. Attach it to the top of a staff and you get a 'Guandao' (or staff-sabre/glaive).

I've been waiting on this for a little while. My dad let me know on my birthday back in August that he pre ordered this for me.

Agreed, I didn't ask for the knife even. I was flipping through the catalog and mid year catalog and I just happen to show it to him and mentioned that I thought it was a really cool blade but I couldn't bring myself to spend that much money and probably never have a use for it. He knows I collect Spyderco knives so he surprised me with an email for a pre order.

Some Q & D pix before traffic slog. USPS del at 06:10!
Great balance; much lighter in hand than one might think due to form factor and balance and scales. Blade drills: smooth and easy, and *quick*.
With the NoHole Lum Tanto:
more discussion to follow.

Better grab these Darn Dao before the year is out because on January 1, 2018 the MAP or street price will be $422.47 instead of $389.97!
