Modest proposal: Lum Tanto with HAP40 C46GBORE

[ohcyclist]

If it would help make the business case I would be happy to commit to buy this in both HAP40 and Super Blue.

Just running a one off knife like the Lum Tanto is difficult because it's not a production knife, whereas I imagine making a pm2 in different steel isn't too terrible, it's just a change of material, heat treat, etc.

The more I think about this one though, the more I realize how bad I want it. I think this would be an instant sell out of 1200 pc run. It would really be a one off example. Maybe to make it easier on Seki's production schedule and factory, they could plan a couple runs... Superblue, HAP40, maybe something else too?

Can Spyderco do micarta? I would love that as a handle material but think I read somewhere that this was an issue.

No matter the handle material I would love something polished instead of peel ply.

Put some antique ivory micarta on it and I'm in :D

Yup, in for at least one if not two. Always wanted a Lum Tanto!

I`d be in for a HAP40 Lum Tanto but'd really really prefer a chinese lum with HAP40!!

They have done it in the past, but it can expand/shrink very slightly when wet/dry so Sal isn't as fond of it as I am. I've never had and issue with any of my micarta Spydercos and would like some more.

Pretty please Sal

Of course i was not talking about a chinese made Lum, more like a lum chinese folder

They still do Micarta on current fixed blades, but those are pinned.

I would love micarta if possible, but if it is not are there any other materials other than g10 that spyderco uses regularly? I would rather not pay cost of cf unless it was the smooth stuff from the caly series.

[Larry_Mott]

Micarta or polished G10 preferably with clay hamon and i'd donate a kidney for one

[Brock O Lee]

I would love a solid HAP40 Lum Tanto in micarta or polished G10.

I know, I was only kidding bud :D

[polyhexamethyl]

i know

I'd rather see a Temperance 2 in Hap40. More useful of a blade shape and Hap40 is a great use steel.

Ooooh yea that's a good idea actually!

[BTG]

Would love a chance to get a Lum Tanto now, as it was discontinued long before I even knew about Spyderco, but really like the looks of it. :spyder:
I wouldn't even really mind whatever steel were used, but I've been really happy with Hap40 so far!

I'm with ya, I'll take it in any steel, or color G10.....they do still have them at the bentoboxshop .....I've been right on the verge of ordering one quite a few times, but that 399$ has kept me from pulling the trigger...sooner or later I'll break down if it doesn't disappear, or we don't get a new version.
