I always hate to hear about a Vietnam vet and cancer. I never knew where the Tanto blade came from but it just seemed one day they were everywhere.

My condolences Bill, and my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Bill, sorry for the loss of one of you mates. Sorry for the communities loss of a smith.
Prayers from my family and I, to the Lum family and friends.

Godspeed Mr. Lum...........

RIP Mr Lum, thank you for your service and for your fine designs.

Condolences Bill, I am sorry you lost a friend.

Gonna miss you Bob. You were a great knife builder, friend and inspiration to many.

Mr. Harsey,

Our thoughts and prayers are out to you, and the family of your friend Mr. Lum.

Great picture of Bob, that almost made me laugh knowing what the grinding area really looked like about ten feet behind him. It wasn't quite as clean as his bench.

While it's still up, check out the shop tour and knives at Bob's website:

Mr. Lum was a great American designer of knives and definitely someone I looked up to. Thank you Mr. Harsey for keeping us posted. I am very sorry for your loss and the loss of his family.

RIP Mr Lum
My sincere condolences to you, Bill, and to the Lum family.
