Gents,

I have one on the way after getting the email from Wilson Combat a few hours ago - couldn't resist after hearing so much good chatter about Les George knives. I'm hoping for Hinderer xm18 quality (I will forever be a Hinderer fan and love my XM's) in a slightly thinner/more refined edc package. Thoughts?

NEED! Are there any more details about this one?

edit: found them. dear lord this thing is incredible :eek:
 
Awesome knife ! I would much rather have that than an XM. I like the straight handle and lighter weight.
Congrats on that one:thumbup:
 
A little back story on this knife. We have been working with Les for almost a year to bring this baby to the market. We love the build construction of a Ti framelock and so do our customers but we wanted something a little racier looking, a little slicker to open and better suited for everyday carry than some of the thick and bulky tactical folders out there. Keep in mind for over 15 years we have sold many custom and limited production knives. We aren't new to this. We know what we like, we totally understand build quality and we wanted something that was representative of the design and craftsmanship we put into our firearms.

Sorry for the mongo picture. We are thrilled to deliver this knife to market and are looking forward to you feedback.

I feel even better about buying one right away after reading this. Very impressive response and to know the attention to detail that went into the production is great!

Do you happen to have a picture of the other side of the knife?
Thanks
 
Looks really nice, although I could deal without the design on the handle. It makes it look kind of cheap to me thats all.

I bet this is one sick knife though, I love all of Les George's work.
 
Thanks. Looks great!

I can't see much of the tang. I wonder if the steel type, or the Les George name will be on it.
Let us know how you like it when it shows.
Thanks again.

There are no other markings on the knife. If we change steels for any reason we will consider a logo change.
