Hi Harkamus,
Thanx for the suggestion and encouragement and welcome ot the Spyderco forum.
As mentioned, another company is currently making a "Bo Lum Tanto" collaboration. It would be tacky to do a similar promotion at this time, and it probably wouldn't be a good business move either.
Hi Xomoi,
Wecome to the Spyderco forum. We do bring back requested models for sprint runs for the very reason that there is interest and the older disco'd models are very hard to find. We change stuff on the model so it isn't confused with the earlier version and the new sprint doesn't hurt collector value of the model. It does offer an opportunity to obtain one, albeit a little different.
As far as "Tanto's" go, we've done 2 Lum folders (G-10 & Ti) and one Lum fixed blade. People love them or don't.
If we were going to do another Lum design, I have a few. Bob made a few designs for us over the years. I would probably go with his larger Chinese folder design and his smaller Chnese folder design before we'd remake the Tanto.
We do appreciate the interest and the request. We have many designs in-the-works waiting for engineering time and factory capacity. We try to bring out 3 or 4 sprints per year, but they do offer their challenges.
