Knife Community Loses Great Maker
 

The knifemaker Bob Lum lost his battle with cancer yesterday.

Bob was the creator of the modern custom tanto blade. No one else came up with this, it was all Bob's concept.
Bob's craftsmanship and design was extraordinary. My words fail to convey what he did, you'd have to see his work to understand.

Bob served in the United States Army in Vietnam, was also a very accomplished photographer but most important, a great human.

Bob,
I'm going to miss you as a member of the Steens Mountain crew, your friendship and yes, your cooking.

Blue Skies Bob.

Bill,

I am sorry for your loss my friend.

Rest well Mr. Lum

Joe

RIP Mr Lum, prayers out to your family, the knife community and all those who have benefited from your vision.

Rest in peace Mr. Lum.

RIP, Bob.

I only met you briefly, and knew you mainly through your works, but if Harsey said you were a good man, that is all the vetting I needed.

Prayers out for you and your extended family.
