Any Lum Carriers?

I used to have all of the Lum Chinese except for the one rare model that I couldn't get my hands on. Should have stuck with it but lost interest and wound up selling all but these.
My user is the purple large Lum that I modded with liners under the scales to thicken it up a bit for my long fingers. It used to be pink but I dyed it royal blue I think. It's got a deep carry clip and is easily one of the best slicers I own.

I have the nishijin and the large Lum. The nishijin gets gets carried for dressier occasions like others here do. The large feels great in the hand but I don't carry large knives very much. The only thing I would change on it is a larger pivot pin/screw. Seems really small for a knife this large.

That's a nice collection! Is the one in the middle the foliage green? It looks grey in the picture, but too dark to be the titanium version.

I've got the Nishijin (which was my first nice Spyderco), the titanium, and the ZDP black almite (not pictured).

It is foliage green.
I can't find the picture of the entire collection, I probably deleted it after I sold them all. :(
 
With the addition of the two original models (and including the two in my previous post), I now have a complete set of the plain edge C65 Lums! Half of them are users, but I'm not picky :D

If I had one of the newer VG-10 Lum Fixed blades that was a Sprint about two to three years ago I would carry it in the field. I always carry some sort of a fixed blade and most of the time it's my beloved Spyderco TEMPERANCE 1 model ( PE & SE). But I'm now in the habit of always carrying a fixed blade whenever I venture into the outdoor arena. And I would certainly love to carry one of the newer VG-10 versions of the fixed blade LUM.

The only reason I never ever used my original fixed blade LUM for any serious cutting jobs is that AUS-8 blade steel which was what they used on the first/original LUM fixed blade just never did hold an edge well for me in PE. Now I did like AUS-8 for Spyderedged blades but on PE blades it just didn't hold an edge anywhere near as good as VG-10 for instance.
