Lil' Lum Bamboo-Leaf-Shaped Folding Blade Knife - Blue

Taking inspiration from the work of custom knifemaker Bob Lum and the traditional Chinese "Shilin Cutter”, the Lil Lum combines timeless tradition with modern innovation. The unique leaf shaped VG-10 blade has a broad, curved belly with exceptionally smooth edge geometry. This Sprint Run model features a brilliant blue handle crafted from Nishijin, a glass fiber textile created in Japan over 1,200 years ago.

Why choose this knife?

• Traditional Chinese folder design
• Leaf shaped blade allows for long, clean slicing
• Full-flat grind minimizes cutting friction
• Rare Nishijin handle scales
• Ergonomic curved handle shape
• Skeletonized liners reduce overall weight

Why not?

• Short blade cannot handle large cutting tasks
• Wide leaf-shaped blade creates extra bulk
• Eye-catching handle may not appeal to tactical users

Pro tip:
“Flat grind” knives maintain their thickness through most of the blade, then taper off quickly at the edge. “Full-flat grind” knives have a long bevel that extends all the way from the spine to the edge. Flat ground blades have greater strength, while full-flat ground blades create less drag.
