Recommendation? Looking for knives designs similar to the Benchmade 760 and Spydercoo Lum tanto?

[Mr. Gibbles]

Hello all
I recently discovered the Spyderco Lum tanto and Benchmade 760 models and I am really, really digging the shape and design. The thing is, I don't want to pay as much as they are, but I love the designs of those two without the price tag.
Reccomendations?

These 2 Tanto blade model's you've referenced Mr. G, are thee exact same two that converted me over & made me a big fan of the Tanto design quite some time ago.

I have a BM 760 that I edc for about a year- loved carrying that knife.

Here's a short but rather interesting archived thread, in reference to Bob Lum's Tanto design.

FYI update- There's a Spyderco Lum for sale on another forum.

Me too. I gave my Benchmade 760 prototype to a friend 4 years ago and have been looking for a replacement ever since. They are very hard to find. I think the Emerson Roadhouse is the best looking Tanto aside from the ones you’ve mentioned, but it doesn’t have the complex grind of the Spyderco.

PM2 Tanto?

I like the blade design on the Emerson CQC 7V...

For me the one that comes close is Benchmade 910, a little shorter blade and not reinforced tip but tango shape. Carried mine until serrations worn to nubs, but a great blade for just about everything. Emerson 15 is another close one in my book.
