Magnate Monday! True story, this one originally had orange handles, but when I asked Les if he would sell me some darker scales so I could carry it on an upcoming deployment, he sent me the green set for free!View attachment 2998568

Stick it quietly and keep on moving! On deployment lol

Thanks Mitch! I’m typically not a fan of serrations, but loved how they looked on the blacked out Rockeye.

I like full edge of serrations, more than partial, but they all got their use.....

Tephra Tuesday:

This Rockeye has a pretty cool backstory. Les originally made a batch of 10 for Wilson Tactical’s Custom Alliance, and they sold them as “BMFs.” He built this one as a quiet insurance policy (number 11) just in case one of the original ten had an issue. Thankfully, they all passed muster, so the backup wasn’t needed. Les ended up hanging onto it and later sold it himself at Blade Show 2014.

The action on this thing is unreal. It's easily the most mechanically satisfying knife I’ve ever owned and it’s extra meaningful to me because it was my first Rockeye.

Here’s another BladeShow ‘24 special MK3 for Sweep Ti Tuesday. While Les did produce a good number of these, I find the pattern on this one particularly unique (especially for ladder damascus) and the action is simply sublime. Drops shut like it’s on bearings!

Hey Mitch, I guess the scale pattern on Myna and MK3 is the same . (Diamond pattern)

Yes sir, right up there with my other favorite, the frag pattern.

I will not sell any of my Les George knives. They’re too difficult to replace.

I said that as well once upon a time, and there’s quite a few that I wish I still had. But I also enjoy passing the happiness of owning them to others from time to time. It’s all part of the process to me.

great. pass them all on to me then, from time to time.

He can only pass them all on to you once.

(Until he later replenishes and can do so a second time. You're welcome. Don't threaten moderators with physical violence. It's frowned upon by some.)

Anytime you see an LG tanto, as long as it’s in good shape at a decent price you should jump on it cause there isn’t a whole ton of them out here and Les
Has said several times that he won’t make anymore of them because he hates sharpening them.
