The Les George Knives Thread

[Necroanax]

I'll join Smythes_Knives for San Mai Sunday.

Crafted from Chad Nichols’ XHP core San Mai Damascus, this blade features one of Les’s most unique grinds on a M3 blade so robust it could moonlight as tank armor.

It was built for the 2018 CCKS and finished with a G10 backspacer, which had to be used because the quarter inch blade stock made traditional standoffs impossible.

I once snagged a certina swiss army watch from one of those grey market websites. I bought it because it was so cheap and had crystal glass. I was blown away at how well made it was. It was so nice I bought another one in a different color. I now regret selling both of them to buy more knives.

Happy Morph Monday!

I'll kick off our final Lestober stretch with a custom Harpy with some of the deepest Morph milling I’ve ever seen. The depth and flow almost give it a scaled, organic look under the light, which feels particularly fitting given the Xenomorph roots of the pattern. Chad Nichols Boomerang Damascus blade paired with a heavily tumbled frame. Interestingly, this Harpy runs on PB washers, which is pretty unusual since Les typically uses bearings on his flippers. Sold at the 2013 TKI as a lottery piece and now sporting an old school USN Steel Flame clip to honor the person who passed it along to me.

I’m especially in love with this one. Morph milling is what first drew me to Les’s work, and while I’d already tracked down an early evolution of the Harpy, it took a long time to find a bona fide example. To not only land one, but to find a piece like this, felt truly special.
