Is an all-black folding Tanto CE a good deal at $200?

Here's my one and only Lum. I'm not much for most tanto blades, but Bob's tantos, whether they're fixed, folder, production or custom, always appealed to me.

Speaking of such, if anyone would like to see some great examples of Bob's custom work, check out Jon Ukman's site at the link below. He's got even more Lums in his collection than are shown there right now, but they're really something to look at.

The green SE LUM Chineese is just beautiful. Wow, I love the serrations on that particular blade.

Great pics everyone!

The next Chinese Folder due mid Feb. (holding breath ;) ) is actually almite, not CF.
The cactus has some perfect spines to accomidate the spyderhole.

CF- Chinese Folder, sorry I forgot CF is really for Carbon Fiber, I got lazy typing.
