G10 Lum Tanto on the horizon?

[CAK]

I thought I read somewhere that the titanium-handled Lum Tanto was going to be produced in G10- Is this true? When? I enjoy that particular Spydie but think that G10 instead of titanium would afford a better grip.

I don't know when they are supposed to be out, but the ARE supposed to be coming. In fact, you MIGHT be able to purchase them direct from Spyderco, on their website. Or, I may be smokin' dope, and getting the G-10 Lum Tanto mixed up with the Lum Chinese Folder. Can't friggin' remember, I always get those two confused. I must have finally killed off that last critical brain cell.....

I do remember for certain that someone posted a picture of it on here, probably 2 or 3 months ago. Try a search, it may still be there.

But I must remind you that the first pictures of the G-10 tanto was out loooong before the Ti version. All of the early pics & protos were G-10.

Thanks for tracking the pics down Pelle

. That is going to be a very nice knife - when it's available...

Hey Sal, any updates on this?

 

[CAK]

One more question- will the clip convert from tip-up to tip-down?

 

[Sal Glesser]

The Titan version will be replaced by the G10 version.

More grip and lower price.

Tip up only.

The dealers usually get them before the outlet store.

CAK, try this link: Lum Tanto.

Sure as heck looks like the G10 version.
