Similar to Lum?

[ratdog]

I love the knives that Bob lum created. Especially the chinese folders. Are there any other knifemakers that make similarily styled knives to collect?

You're asking us on the Spyderco forum to recommend you another maker?

Isn't the Benchmade DejaVu/DejaVoo Lum-like? I think they collaborated with Lum as well.

*whispers*Get the Spydie...

Your right...I should have posted this in the general forum. Could a mod please move this?

Moved from Spyderco to General Knife Discussion by OP request.

The Hanwei Quandong Folder is an example of the same Chinese original, nicely made, with the lock being a button inset in the pivot, and inlaid wire decorating the handle. Much heavier duty than the Spydie version.

general forum is basically the spyderco forum anyway

on youtube there is a good overview of the dejavoo and a word on its lock that may be worth checking out.

I think the designs are similar, but I definitely like the Spyderco Lum better. The clip looks like it rides low on the Dejavoo, though.
