Bob Lum - Tanto

Status - Sold

Knifemaker and designer Bob Lum was known for his ability to integrate good design, ergonomics, and high quality materials to create quality custom knives. One of the custom knife models Bob was best know for is the Tanto; Bob was a major influence popularizing the Tanto knife in the West by styling from ancient Japanesse examples of this classic blade. This knife features a hand ground and polished blade (probably ATS34)with Spydie Hole opening system, Black Micarta (?) handles, Black G10 back-spacer, pocket-clip set for tip up carry, lanyard hole, flawless fit and finish. A great piece for any collection.

blade length: 3 7/8 " ................................ closed: 5 1/4 " ................................. overall length: 9 1/8"

case/sheath: zippered pouch

The only flaw I can find on this knife is a tiny mark between the lanyard hole and the top of the pocket-clip which is only evident when the light hits it just right, here it is highly magnified below.
