The Les George Knives Thread

Blues said:
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.)

Tipitinas, maple leaf, and Les Bon Temps are a few of my favorites. Those places are sacred grounds for me.

I show Professor Longhair much love everytime I walk in Tipitinas. His bust is right when you walk through the doors.

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!!!

If you decide to swap to skiffs in the D7 Talos, I can confirm that they are the same size as other LG flippers, only the servo is a different size ☺️
 
San Mai Sunday for Day 5 w/ a custom ESR from 2014. This one was a lotto piece at BladeShow that year. Contoured Ti, Nichols XHP core san mai damascus, and a stupid snappy detent.

I’m a huge Steel Flame fan so I tossed on a special Steel Flame Spartan clip from 2012 for good measure.

These “Extra Short Rockeyes” are perfectly sized for a small knife IMO. Although unlikely, I would love to see a production run of smalls this size and/or a new run of thumbstud ESVs someday!

Happy Sunday 👊🍻

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. View attachment 2992326View attachment 2992329

If you don’t mind me asking, why did you switch blades from dama to black DLC?
