The late Bob Lum was a talented custom knifemaker who specialized in translating classic Asian blade patterns into expertly crafted modern designs. Although Lum collaborated with Spyderco on several knives, perhaps the most enduring was the Lum Chinese Folder—his modern expression of the classic “Shilin Cutter” folding knife. The Lil’ Lum resurrects this design in a smaller, even more pocket-friendly size than its predecessors and features a full-fl at-ground “leaf-shaped” VG-10 stainless steel blade. Its handle is constructed of textured G-10 scales and full skeletonized stainless steel liners that also form the foundation of its sturdy LinerLock mechanism. To ensure that it’s always at the ready, the Lil’ Lum also includes a reversible pocket clip confi gured for right or left-side tip-up carry.
