Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web
C143G:
"Custom Knifemaker Bob Lum has done something no other knifemaker has done. He created a genesis fusing the ancient essence and design of a traditional Chinese fixed blade with features found in modern folding knives. This results in a knife with great historical beauty and modern cutting performance and manufacturing impeccability.
The large Chinese folder has a flat-ground VG-10 blade with a spine swedge and a PlainEdge cutting conformation. The black peel-ply G-10 handle incorporates a Walker LinerLock® and screw together construction for adjustment and cleaning. Phosphor bronze washers circling the blade's pivot, ensure smooth open/close action. A four-way tip-up/tip-down, left/right hand pocket clip settles the folder deeply in a pocket where it rides ready for use with great style. Bob Lum's Chinese Folder takes ancient knifemaking tradition to a higher level in sophistication and ergonomic usability.
Custom knifemaker Bob Lum passed away in 2008 and Spyderco is honored to continue producing his knife designs with the blessing of his widow Jean Lum."
