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.

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

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.
