You and me both buddy! And the G10 backspacers!

I've never had one and I think they're kind of goofy looking so I've never understood the love for the spoon clip. Does it do something objectively better than the current stock clip? I got this RGT with a VECP I bought and I prefer it to stock both for aesthetics and feel in hand.

Yes, it can also be used as a spoon when needed!

My love for Les’s signature morph milling combined with my fondness for zirconium make this ESR a dream come true. It was a lottery piece at the 2013 Tactical Knife Invitational, and Les added a neat touch by engraving his signature on the clip.

Keeping w/ the theme of Morph & damascus, I brought this Morph Dammy BL VECP to the office today.

I remember the excitement of scoring this one on drop day in August 2023 like it was yesterday

Got incredibly lucky w/ this pattern. Some of the finest Nichols Raindrop Damascus I’ve encountered.

Killin’ it!

Is there another way to eat gelato?

I'm in for Day 7 Tanto Tuesday! On a side note, does anyone recognize the flame markings on my example? Les said he had no idea.

I think that was done by a guy who sharpened it for the person who owned it at the time. It was his “logo” and he engraved it into the knife. IIRC it caused quite a stir because he did it without asking.

This is so cool. Is that a one off, or has he signed other clips like that before?

Thank you for the kind words, man. It's my pleasure. Plenty more fun ones to share before the month is done.

Thanks for the backstory, it is a pretty decent sharpening job! But yea, don't laser me bro! At least unless I ask

Thank you, I’m glad you like it. I’ve never seen another engraved clip from Les, so while there may be a few out there, I doubt there are many.

I actually didn’t realize it was signed when I bought it because the engraving can only be seen when the light hits it just right. I was planning to swap it for a Steel Flame clip, but once Les confirmed it was his signature, I was happy to leave it as it was.

It was disclosed during a sale at one point, if this is your knife. I doubt there’s another one out there!

Just so you don’t have to take my word for it:

I just want to publicly apologize for selling you that knife. I will take it back immediately and give you a full refund.
