Bob lum tanto style (i'm a copycat)

[cardoso5fr]

I'm a bad copycat, i enjoy especially Terry's and Shawn work, and theire lum tanto style balisong are incredible.
I wanted to give a try

100WCRW4 blade, 3,5mm thick, very deep hollow grind, convexe point.

14 cm long, 2,5 cm width, 23,5 cm long open, 9 cm sharp. 16mm thick and 18 to the pivot. 200 g It's very heavy , but it flip very well

In all fairness any knife made with this type of grind is inspired by some of the grinds of the late great Bob Lum.

It is a great grind and I am sure you will see more people using it in the upcoming years until eventually it is just a commonly seen grind similar to any other in current use.

I like the file work on the spine. I like the grind as well, but I do wonder how easy it would be to sharpen. Especially if you wanted to keep the clean lines. Cool bali.

that's a great looking grind there man

Thank you. Not so hard to sharpen, simply with a buffer or fine sand paper for the point and a stone for the standart edge
