No, not necessarily I equally enjoy thumb studs/discs and flippers as well. But button locks are definitely fun.Hey Mitch, from the VCEP’s you gravitate towards BL?![]()
Man I wish I could love this like ten times! Love me some 1911 action
What I like about VCEP BL is the blade of course. It’s better in my opinion than on the regular VCEP frame lock, and like u have mentioned it is more fun to flick it.No, not necessarily I equally enjoy thumb studs/discs and flippers as well. But button locks are definitely fun.
I must say though that while the d7 button lock is very nice it doesn’t quite compare to the vecp. Primarily how the blade just seems to snap closed with the push of the button. Takes no wrist action at all.
This most recent run of Magnacut VECPs are stupid good. Very much looking forward to seeing what all Les sent to DLT. Said it “just might be his biggest batch of knives to date.” Exciting stuff!It's Magnacut Monday! I foolishly let my original one go, so I'm super excited to have recently brought this one into the fold. This one is darn close to my MK3 in smoothness.View attachment 3003816
This one is so beautiful. I prefer larger knives in general but would definitely break my preference for this oneHappy Mini Harpy Monday!
Les made this one for the 2015 California Custom Knife Show. It’s got a San Mai Damascus blade and a textured Zirconium show side scale with an aggressive, high-relief sweep pattern. Small, but mighty.

That would really be something! I'd be shocked if Les made 100+ 12 Days knives and if he did I'd have a really hard time believing they were hand ground.I was hoping all those boxes were full of just the 12 days special so we’d all have a better chance of scoring one!
I’m really holding out hope it’s an intrepid myna kinda Christmas!!!
You ain’t lying I’m so excited about those 12 days boxes! By golly I’m gonna be practiced up on DLT’s site as well, going to put myself through an ordering boot camp!This most recent run of Magnacut VECPs are stupid good.
