The Les George Knives Thread

[norcalAF]

hand made or not, all titanium or not...no way was i gonna pay that kinda money. I have to admit im not much of a hinderer fan. like some of the zt models he designed, but dont love his own folders all that much.

I especially dislike that big choil on bout every folder he does. looks odd and make the blade start way too late.

Yep, my Hinderers are the minimum choil options. PX, eklipse, no choil xm3.5 and my favorite, the firetac.

Were you able to score a signature series?

I got this for an XM-18 this year, though.

Wow, all beautiful! Love the wood on the dammy annual! What’s table on the dammy annual?

 

[Johnnyblades7]

Nope!

Ye this batch was way smaller than Les George’s, even though I have seen blade numbers on the blade pass #151.?

They were $985. Oddly it was a slightly better deal because the tax laws changed and GPK didn't collect sales tax on this one for me, whereas they did on my MagnaCut Annual back in July.

There were probably maybe eight to ten of each judging from the serial number spread in the ones that were taken out for dealer photos. I am very fast, but I'm only about 50% on Hinderer limited drops.

I don't think I've ever picked a favorite...

White, Red and Burr oaks are poplar choices.

(Even I groaned at that one.)

Keep it up and you might make an ash of yourself! I'll cedar myself out

 

[Blues]

Cedar? I hardly knew her.

I'd tell more jokes, but you'd probably be sycamore.

Talos in the Exchange if anyone is interested...

I sold that Talos to him last week, it’s mint flawless condition. Detent and lock up is perfect

 

[Blues]

Hopefully one of our own will pick it up.

My wife and I were just in Louisiana, and when we went to Mass, the cathedral in Lafayette had a live oak that is more than five hundred years old and has a side branch that needs steel supports because it's estimated to weigh 70 tons. Fascinating tree!

Yes sir! They’re everywhere down here. City park in NOLA has the most live oaks in one park with well over 1500 of them.

This past January we had a foot of snow for the first time possibly ever. Shut the whole city down for a week including interstates.
