"Bob Lum is the first American knifemaker to introduce the Asian tanto-style blade to the U.S.

In 1998 Spyderco introduced the C46 which features "hamaguri" or appleseed grind at the tip for added strength. The flat-topped hump above the hole provides a comfortable positioning spot for your thumb for controled cutting."

It's a very, very beautiful grind at the tip . . . don't you think?? :rolleyes: :D ;)
 
Whoa, nice shots! What's the Spydie up top on that trio? I'm still waiting for the Terzuola sprint run
 
Great pictures Santi - I love the FB03 (fixed blade Lum tanto) and have 2. Any ideas where I can get a C46 in Ti?

The Titanium C-46 Spyderco Lum models are out there "big bird" but you better be prepared to get your wallet wide open :eek: The last 2 C-46 Ti models have both gone for over $240. I don't think they are going to get any cheaper either.

I am a big LUM fan myself. IF I ever get rich I am going to have BOB LUM himself make me a folder and fixed blade. I got the privaledge/pleasure of chatting with him at last year's Atlanta BLADE show. A great and knowledgable guy too. I even saw a G-10 handled C-46 get over $270 this last weekend on Ebay. :eek:
