I committed heresy yesterday, and modded a Lum design. Bob Lum was an incredible designer/maker, and to mess with his designs is to mess with perfection. However I just couldn't hold back. Had an old user Chinese folder Nishijin, and had botched some mods a couple years ago (sanded down the scales, added jimping, stonewashed the blade). Chopped it down yesterday, and I'm lovin it so much I'm eyeballing my ti handled Chinese folder (chances of me fuckin with this beauty are slim to none tho, don't worry!).

That turned out well. Kind of a sheepsfoot blade shape. That will be a great knife for breaking down cardboard. I have happen to have that same model in my pocket as I type this.
 
I really like that! Have been considering picking up one of the KC discounted pink large Lums to modify... this looks nice!

I grabbed one a while ago and dyed the scales.
Just saying, in case you don't care for pink...
 
That's a very goodlooking knife, love your mods to a beautiful folder to start with!
