The Les George Knives Thread

Pretty awesome to see so much positivity and excitement after a drop like this! Stoked so many people were able to grab one and congrats to all that scored 🤘🍻

Les mentioned in a Facebook comment that this, “might just be the biggest batch of knives I’ve ever made” so safe to say there were a ton of ‘em. Given that, and how soft the market is, I think it’s impressive these still sold out in just under 2 minutes. Also, how about that price?! Heck of a deal.

I have no doubt that a few folks bought to flip, and that a couple people will over pay for one, but my guess is that these will not see huge mark ups once the dust settles since there are so many of them.

Congrats again to all that participated and scored! Such a badass configuration 🔥 Here’s to hoping we all have ‘em in hand by Monday 🤞 Look forward to seeing everyone’s pics and patterns!

I couldn’t agree more with your post.

While Les’ knives are awesome….the way he runs his business, the culture and the type of customers that collect his knives (ie many of you in this thread and other LG groups) are what keeps me buying more.

He could have easily made a smaller batch and charged much more to maximize his profits but instead put in what I would assume extra hours to make sure a lot more of us would have a chance at owning one AND still kept the price down. Bravo Les, bravo!

I don’t buy/collect knives to make money. I buy them to enjoy them.

I’m going to enjoy the hell out of this one 😎

Congrats to all that scored, looking forward to the pics

Just another example, Les told me he didn’t do auctions for his customs this past year because he didn’t want anyone to pay too much for his work. He’s definitely not in it for the money. As long as he’s able to make knives, fish and hunt he’s a happy man!

Are u sure about that, I think it’s only one per person ?

There wasn't a notice on the item listing that it was limited per household or buyer at all. I didn't try to add more than one to the quantity (because it seemed selfish, because I don't really have a spare $595 for a second, and because tinkering with quantities might have meant missing out entirely from the extra time taken to click around). But Mitch said he was able to add up to three, which may have just been the in-stock quantity at the time he attempted it, too.

Fundamentally with any of the most popular 12DOC releases, nobody is fast enough to get more than one, but this year the demand is down and the quantities are up, so it's becoming at least possible.
