Just got a nib Lum 760 LFTi. This is a beautiful blade! The weight is nice, it feels good in your hand. The action is flawless. I must say the Ti and M4 were made to be paired up! My only complaints are the placement of the thumb stud and the pocket clip. Tip down carry is not my favorite. To many shreaded pockets. Makes it real hard to keep the change from falling out! The other thing being that the thumb stud is set up for use of mainly right handed people. Myself being left handed, makes it difficult. Fortunately the action is such that I am able to use my fore fingers to work the stud and flick the blade the rest of the way with my wrist. This being the saving grace of the set up! Otherwise I think the knife would be resigned to closet duty! Fortunately so far it has proven a beautiful addition to the family! That's just my two bits!

Nice writeup Bill. 760's a great design...Ti slabs, M4 blade, smooth pivot, what's not to like!

Nice review. I don't have one and was wondering.

Does the blade flick open easy?

Yes, the blade flicks open very easy. So easily that when I start the blade open with my index finger a simple snap motion of the wrist will take it into the fully open position easily. The whole thing is crafted beautifully. The other nice thing is that with the tanto blade style it makes the blade nice and stout right out close to the tip.

reviews like this is what i like,now to find one.........

Yes you can open the knife without ever even touching the blade if you wrist flick it. Some may like that but I certainly didn't and traded mine. If they ever improve the detent and clip problems I'll get one again.

That's a nice regrind, but it's just such a pitty to do that to that nice tanto! I'm not a huge fan of the tanto blade myself but even still. Mine was shaving sharp right out of the box. What about the m4? With a regrind like that won't the blade start to stain real quickly? I know the m4 that I have has stained easily.

I'm not a fan of the tanto blade. I love the regrind. Such a beautiful job.

Yes it will so signs of pigma as time goes on , but it no big deal to me.
I think it gives a blade a little class , like the knives of the olden days , that carbon look persay
One of my Mules that Ive used , has that look.
