Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web
FB03 Lum Tanto
"It is only natural that Spyderco follow-up Bob Lum's folding tanto with a fixed blade, and a very classy one at that. It has a Hamaguri (appleseed) grind at the tip for added strength and the swedge on the spine lessens the overall weight. The blade has a tapered Tang, running the full length of the handle, adding overall strength. The expanded hand guard, where the blade and handle meet, makes it comfortable while gripping. Blade is hollow ground. " [1]
