The Les George Knives Thread

Well, as someone who sold my first VECP because I preferred my Talos, I have just agreed to trade my Talos for a VECP 😅 It's an early Gen3 with the backspacer and outline logo. Talos hasn't seen much pocket time lately so I figured what the hell. If I still prefer the Talos after another dance with the VECP I don't think I would have much trouble finding someone to trade with or selling the VECP outright.

this post ain't gonna be popular...but im not overly impressed. (edit part...wasnt 580 bucks, my memory was off...was) 535 bucks later and I feel the spartan Taiwan made import for 100 and change is good enough of a George designed knife.....

the spartan is a better overall size blade and handle, to me.^

this titanium George is nice enough, but for the super high price....the spartan import is a good enough a knife with a similar look.

okay go ahead and hammer away at my post.......

I actually agree. I love the fit and finish of the Les Gorge knives, but the VECP had too much belly for me, and the Talos I thought the handle was too slippery, but I hate smooth metal handles.

I bought the Spartan for giggles cause it was like $80 on sale and it was G10 for some grip. I didn't think I'd like it but I really do, but it does not have that "vault" lockup that my old VECP had.

The Myna is tempting but I'd still rather have a G10 option at least on the non-lock side, or a very rough sandblasted handle finish to provide some grip.

Couldn’t agree more. Had this scale made. Grippy as hell and saved almost an oz. Les did do a stock version once but only the king knows when that’ll happen again.

So far I’ve only come across a few ti knives where the milling provides a great grip. I’d definitely be interested in getting my hands on a few more!

MEFP MK3 is definitely a gem. Smoothest washer knife I've ever owned.
