The Les George Knives Thread

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 honestly would be pretty pissed if I sent a knife somewhere to have it sharpened and it came back with two engravings on it. That’s really not too cool of a thing to do. It’s a different story if they had permission naturally.
 
Happy Fixed Blade Friday!

I thought I’d follow up yesterday’s morph-milled zirconium post with another, this time in the form of a custom V-14 from 2020. The pattern and grind on this one are absolutely stunning, and the mirror-polished zirconium adds a beautiful finishing touch.

While the VECP remains Les’s most popular model, those familiar with his personal collection know he’s a dagger junkie. Honestly, if the market allowed it, I think he’d make almost nothing but 🗡️.

Nice knives...all of them.

The thing that holds me back, in large part, is that too many of the knives display the same blade pattern...and my goal wouldn't be to collect different handle designs...though I like the different looks...some of them quite a bit.
 
Happy Friday to everyone! I have a question to my Les brothers ! I understand that some of you would say how can you get rid of one child that u love and favor other one! Here is the question, if you would only get to keep one Les George folder or it might be a fixed blade, which one would you keep and why? Thank you for all your feed back !

So you need a tanto frame lock vecp and a flipper myna. Then you would have all 3 different types all with different blade shapes!

Based on versatility and general usefulness:

Folder: VECP

Fixed Blade: Magnate

Truly a tough question. Usually my favorite is whichever I have in my hand that day.

I just can’t do it. I’d have to keep at least 3. The myna, bl vecp, OG mefp talos.

I think the idea that his blades all share a similar shape mainly applies to his midtech folders, probably because he doesn’t produce all that many models. The VECP and Talos are his most popular, and both have Rockeye DNA. The MK3, Myna, and Eagle have different blade shapes, but they’re much less common.

If you’re looking for more variety in blade shapes, his customs offer plenty of options: the Valmara, Hydra, Harpy, FM-1, Rockeye, M3, and Sicario all feature distinct designs. By the time the month is over, I'll post at least one of each. Smythes_Knives Smythes_Knives also has a treasure trove of customs, so there will be plenty to peruse by the time Halloween hits.

And I'd add the Seax to the "unique blade shape" list as well.
 
I actually agree with Blues Blues sentiment. It’s the reason I only have 10 LGs and not 30. I only need so many drop points and can’t rationalize why I would need more just because of variations in the scales/blade steel.

So over the years I’ve eventually gotten the variations Ive wanted the most and am now no longer really in the market for anymore LGs. Which is unfortunate because I would love to still be chasing em. The only thing I’m currently hoping for one day is a dammy myna.

I wish Les would do different blade shapes for all the models similar to Hinderer. But I get it, Les does it his own way on his terms. And while I completely respect that it unfortunately leaves me bored and wanting more.
