BHQ Excl. Lum Tanto?

Well, either the camera colors are way off or it’s not like the jade on the other ones.

They posted this teaser on their IG today of a new exclusive coming soon:

The Lum Tanto is the only knife I know of with that screw arrangement.

Jade g10 in a BHQ exclusive has generally meant M4, but given that the Lum Tanto is a Seki model, perhaps we could see something a bit more exotic? Either way, if that turns out to be a new run of the tanto I'm excited!

Is it just me or is the clip upside down?
 
What if it’s an entirely new model?

That would be some serious cool points. Introduce a model through sprint.

Eh.. it’s probably a Lum. I’m out on tantos.

I was really hoping for a para3.

In order for the screws to be arrranged that way the clip would have to be upside down and it’s not long enough

Here, I've flipped and cropped the image from BHQ of the old gray sprint so that it roughly parallels their IG post:

The missing length in the clip is likely due to a change to a current offering with a longer flat mounting portion. Like those found on a Delica or PM2. Probably the PM2 variamt since it doesn't have the lanyard hole.
 
You mean like the exact pic I posted a page ago? ;)

The pic I posted is of my gray Lum Tanto sprint, it’s not the BHQ one. I specifically posted it since it was pretty close in orientation to their pic...
 
I think BHQ photoshopped the photo so that we wouldn’t know what model it is. I’d wager it’s the Manix 2 M4 DLC version or Para 3 M4. I cant imagine it being the Lum Tanto.

But we can wish, can't we?

That would be really lame if they photoshopped - doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of taking a close-up? Instead of a challenge it would be impossible to guess at the model.
 
Yeah, that wouldn't make sense to me. Also wouldn't make sense that they'd tease an already disclosed DLC Manix. That's supposed to release this month too. I would have guessed Para 3 if not for the picture.

Good marketing going on here via IG these days!
 
If it's a Lum tanto sprint, I'm in. No doubt. One of the few tantos I've owned, and subsequently sold, that I regret.

Fingers crossed here...
 
So this did inspire me to follow BHQ's insta.

Man those don't look like normal Torx heads. The look like a weird hybrid of a few driver types.
 
With BHQ having the Jade Manix M4 in satin and DLC I wouldn't be surprised to see another PM2 (maybe not this time, i'm hoping for the Tanto), this time with DLC coated M4.
