I don’t believe that’s the large, but it’s neat.

If it was the large I would likely be a buyer. I must admit to experiencing some sticker shock though. That Japanese G10 sure is pricey. I paid $132 for the pakkawood Delica but this knife is $209?

Not as big of a fan of this as I am the tanto.

I was also a bit surprised by the price of this one.

I remember knifecenter getting some pink/vg10 ones in at half that price and even those seemed to sit for a while. I would expect more demand for HAP40/Jade g10 though.

That's my favorite Lum. I probably won't buy one at that price though.

****! I love that Bob Lum design, but $209 is too steep for me even with HAP40. I’d like a basic mid-size one with VG-10 and good old G10 at half that price.

no idea, but they're expanding beyond the US-made back catalogue, so I'm pretty stoked.

Seki sprints...

maybe one day Taichung Sprints! Can you imagine?

m4/jade Chaparral...

m4/jade Domino...

DLC m4 jade Vallotton Subhilt... :eek:

DLC m4 jade Gayle Bradley 2... :cool:

Feel the same way. That's too bad...
I would've loved a Large Lum.

Phew... If that were a large, I'd have to get it. Thankfully, my wallet is safe.

Not a single buyer yet? Ouch. I have a feeling they are pricing this one high because of how quickly the last couple sold out. I presume we will see some "bundles" after a few weeks like they did with the Jade Military. I picked up the Military when it was bundled with a Squarehead, and I believe they bundled it with a Tenacious or something before it finally sold out.

I own all of the Jade except the Tanto (passed by choice...thank goodness I did with all of the QC complaints) and this will be a pass for me as well. I plan on grabbing two of the PM2 DLC though. I really wish they would have moved on to an M4/Jade Native with Satin and DLC options. Hopefully that is next!

I will get one if i can. But that's in spite of, not because the "snot scales" which i don't care for at all and will replace ASAP.

BHQ doesn't get burned on the Chinese Lum, they are fools not to try a Jade AYOOB.
