Since you have one in VG-10 then they aren't all ATS-55. Seriously, I assume you are talking about the folder - as far as I know the early ones were ATS-55 which was later replaced by VG-10. I don't think any other steels were used.

on December 31, 2001, Sal Glesser said "The Lum folder is now out in VG-10" ATS-55 had been discontinued and replaced by VG-10.

The limited number of VG-10 bladed Lums may be a result of the short period between the introduction of VG-10 and the discontinuation of the Lum Tanto folder.

They made that Lum C-46 Tanto folder mostly in ATS-55. It was only in the very final year of production that they made them in VG-10. I was told that by a guy who works at SFO. I usually see about 3 to 4 of the VG-10 models of the C-46 sold throughout the entire year on Ebay. I would say the VG-10 is somewhat collectible by virtue of the fact that there arent' that many of them.

But that knife is super in my book no matter which steel variety you have it in.
