The Les George Knives Thread

Day 5 of Lestober. This was a one off from Texas blade 24 I believe. Had an awesome person pick it up for me. This was the infamous knife that Les gave me a lecture on for switching blades lol. I had a dama blade in this one when I met him at Blade Atlanta 2024. IMG_3553.jpegimage.jpeg

My buddy still regrets missing out on that one!
 
I was a little surprised to find out this d7 talos is running on bearings. Not an issue but I just assumed it was washers like the vecp button lock.

And while it’s very smooth I only bring it up because the vecp button lock on washers is considerably smoother than the talos. It just really amplifies the difference of what’s achievable when one sells their soul to the devil at the crossroads!😂

All hail 👑 King George!!!

It was a play on the music and the color most often associated with law enforcement. (Jazz is my co-favorite music. Particularly from the "hard bop" era. Though I have wide ranging musical tastes.)

Just depends what they're playing. I'm kind of a Clarksdale, MS, (Delta) blues type. Muddy, Howlin' Wolf, Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, Sonnyboy Williamson etc.

I believe it might be due to Ti + PB washer vs Al + Bearings. (*disclaimer..... I could be wrong too) ;)😜😎

It’s that and a lot more. Every 2 hrs a new dj comes on and plays a new style of music. Jazz, Blues, funk, rnb, zydeco, salsa, Irish, 20’s-50’s etc. Mostly older stuff.

I’ve been listening for a few years and I now love all of it except zyderco. Just can’t get down with the accordion.
 
I like zydeco when it's live. When I was still in Miami, "Tobacco Road" was my hangout on Friday nights and they'd have great live music upstairs. That place was jumping. Other than the "Kettle of Fish" in Greenwich Village, the best bar I ever used to hang out in.

(Had a lot of New Orleans based talent come through. Professor Longhair, Buckwheat Zydeco, Nevilles etc.)
