They released two sprints of his fixed tanto recently. I think it helps keep his memory alive.

Don't think we will see a lil lum tanto as Bob has passed away.

Lil Lum Chinese?

J32A2 may have a point. I believe that the Lil' Lum (Chinese Folder) was based off of an actual Bob Lum design. By contrast, a Lil' Lum Tanto might take a bit more work in R&D assuming Bob never made a smaller version. Not necessarily impossible, but perhaps more challenging. It's a good thing Spyderco enjoys a good challenge.

If you watch that recent SHOT show "Godfathers of Spyderco" video, Eric discusses the history of the Lil' Lum a bit and how it was a model that Bob Lum had already designed and delivered to Sal. Apparently that model got misplaced for a little while in Golden, interesting stuff!

Question is: what other Lum models or variants do they also have that we haven't seen?

I'd love to see a Lum Tanto folder. It doesn't even need to be an upgraded steel either IMO, I love VG-10.

Exactly! My thoughts too. :)

I also would like to see Lum Folding Tanto sprint. Keep as is, just change G10 color. Dark green will be perfect.

Which collaboration has the most Sprint Run releases, I wonder?

I'd be interested. :D

That's a good question. I know the C22 Michael Walker had a few different runs.

I think that Chinese folder by Lum: original Green, then Blue Titanium, Black ZDP, Foliage Green Satin blade, Foliage Green Coated blade and Titanium. Looks like 5 sprints. Some of them are technically not sprints, but dealers or distributor exclusives.

I believe 3 sprints: LW, blue Ti and CF/ZDP.

Lum Folding Tanto had only one sprint VG10 grey G10 plus Ti dealer exclusive, but if somebody want to collect all "originals" this will be a difficult task. It was made with satin and coated blades. PE and SE. Also with two blade steels ATS55 and VG10. Total 8 variants. Who needs sprint? Only originals will make an impressive collection.

Interesting. Yeah, you might be right. I've never really thought of all the Sprint variations of the Chinese folder. One model I have surprisingly had little interest in using.
I'd think that for there to be so much demand for so many different Sprints of the Chinese, that I would see more people carrying and using one! And now for them to release a "Lil" version to supplement it.
Spydercrew must highly respect Mr. Bob Lum!



And yeah, I guess the Walker may have had quite a few variations, but not necessarily Sprints.
