Found this one today. I'd never seen a Lum Chinese folder with blue handles before. Is it legit?

It came with this box and looks like it's never been used or carried.

Nice looking knife.

Thanks, Joe.

I've seen these with green handles before but not blue. I wasn't sure if the blue handles were original to the knife or if maybe it was customized by the previous owner. I tried looking on eBay and couldn't find any like it. But later a search on Google came back with a few hits so I feel a lot more confident that the handles are factory.

Thanks, bug and Simp!
Gee, Phil, that's incredibly generous of you. Maybe I should send you my entire collection so you can weed out all the fakes.
