My best friend and fellow knife enthusiast died this past week so despite tight funds I decided to buy a new knife. I got an email from knifecenter.com that Bob Lum folders were on sale so went ahead and ordered one. This is my first Spyderco and first knife with a leaf-style blade. It is made in Seki Japan of VG-10 steel and carbon fiber scales. My initial thoughts...
Shipping was super fast. Ordered on Saturday and arrived on Tuesday.
The carbon fiber scales are very pretty. It's like a weave pattern and as you rotate the knife the pattern seems to move and animate. Interesting.
The blade is almost centered when closed. Close enough for a factory knife.
The knife comes pretty sharp. I haven't used it yet in any cutting tasks except for shaving my forearm which it does with ease.
I would classify the knife as a "gentleman folder" although it has a very wide blade shape which is strange to me. Strange not in a bad way...just different. And I will remember my friend whenever I use it.
