Opinion on Bob Lum Chinese folder.....
I tried a couple bigger scans of my green one. Maybe I'll add the blue next week, maybe ><g>

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my first impression of the Chinese Folder was poor.
In fact, I thought it was uglier than sin.
However, a couple of factors caused me to re-evaluate my point of view:
o the loyalty shown by Clay and others
o the Lil Temperance
I fell in love with the Lil Temperance and realized that the blade had the same shape as the Chinese Folder.
While the folder appears to be a small knife, I was surprised to find the blade was actually longer than the Lil Temperace (even though the Lil Temperance seems to be a larger knife).
None the less, I'm very pleased with the Bob Lum Chinese Folder.
One way or the other, you pay for your tools!

That is one thing wrong with the Lum Chinese. I am forever wiping and polishing it. I wish it would hurry up and get that inevitable first scratch so I can bear to actually use it.
Its very hard to get everything to come out right when scanning an object like a highly polished knife. The color is not nearly as rich and even in the pic as it is in my hand, and this knife is actually a numbered one #539 which you can't make out in the picture.
Now don't you guys use my fingerprint to cash a check or nuthin' ><g>
Merry Christmas to All

I got my Blue Lum from Bob Lum himself, and Michael Dye at NewGraham. Last I heard Michael is waiting on more to fill backorders.
Regardless, they are great knives. They closely mimic the actions and functions of the medium custom Lum Chinese Folders at a significantly lower cost.

Well thanks to you guys and gals I ordered my Lum Chinese Folder (Fri.) from NewGraham in P/E! I ordered it on line and put under comments I would like a Blue one if they had one. Mike from N/G e-mailed back that a Blue one was sent out Mon. Thanks Mike for sending the Blue one AND Forumites for passing on that the Blues are more rare<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>!
I anxiously wait for the Lum!

I took a few quick pics of both the green and the gunmetal blue Lum Chinese. I stuck a dollar bill in there to give an idea of their size.

I think this pic looks the best (warning, the image is rather large):
