C65 Bob Lum Chinese Folder

The C65 Bob Lum Chinese folder is one of Spyderco's most applauded designs. The knife is made in three different versions, and at least one prototype of this knife also exists (Cranberry PE, originally a color test) that are privately owned by a collector. There also exist a picture of a lot of Spyderco prototypes where there is a bare aluminum version, although this probably stays with Spyderco in Golden.
