Tell me about this knife. It is light, easy to hold, easy to carry in pocket with other items, useful design? I edc an endura most of the time. I carried a progrip for years and also I had a stretch for a while but found it did not carries as well as for it's width along with a money clip and keys. Carried a Mili for a while but it to is a little big. Carried a walker for years but its gone. Carried a meercat but it's too thick. I guess I like the endura because it light and offers a lot of blade. I know if it works why change. I've been carrying spydercos since they came out and thought to try something new.

Carrying mine today. It's very light in the pocket with the slim profile, and is a very good slicer.

I love the Bob Lum. I've had one on my short list of spydies to acquire for quite some time, but haven't had the chance to do so. All in all there is a shortage IMO of folders like the Bob Lum in the knife world. I can't get enough of folders that feature long, wide and slender blade profiles.
 
The Lum Chinese is one of my favorite knives, with its stunning good looks and great cutting ability. But if you're using to carrying something the size of an Endura, it might be too small for you. At least at first...
 
My purdies, black alamite zdp189 chinese, and my newest nishijin vg10 chinese. smooth, slick, stylish slicers. The perfect gents knifes.

I love my Lum Chinese. I have it in Nishijin and it is great. Very ergonomic, great slicer, and very easy to carry.
 
This knife may be my candidate for the more organic design ever. In the hand, though, I get the feeling that it wants to squirt out of my grip, like a banana shooting out of a peel. Its just the nature of the big in front, small in back profile, I think. Thats just my subjective feeling. I know that most folks may not share that view.
 
Yes, I have the Large Lum Chinese and the handle grip isn't that great for locking into the hand unlike other Lum designs.

I still might get one of the small ones though.

It works better for me in a chef's grip (pinching the sides of the pivot) than the saber grip does.
