I haven’t seen any teasers yet other than what looked like a 100 or 2 scales ready for assembly. So he may be going heavily stocked.

They really nailed the handle coating as well. Smooth but still grippy

My only gripe, because I’m a lanyard guy, is that there’s no lanyard hole or channel in the end, but it’s definitely not a dealbreaker. Seems like Les doesn’t favor them on most models.

He’s actually been doing lanyard bars lately but I’m pretty sure all of his knive have either a lanyard hole or bar.

My man, I love it. I gotta say, I find his stonewash finish mesmerizing. As much as I love the other variants I’ve seen, I can stare into this for hours (similar to fires lol).

Just received this Les George Raider Stiletto by Priority Mail which incredibly arrived in just 2 days.

That's what they promise but it's a record time of delivery for my Priority Mail deliveries recently.

This is the only Les George that I own that comes from his shop. The other Les George designed knives that I own include a:

1) Wilson Combat Superfly Balisong
2) ZT 0900
3) ZT 0929

Use to own a ZT0900 but sold it because it was too small for my taste.

That's it for now but I'm hoping to add a Les George/Bawidamann Doughboy or an original Les George Trench Knife to my collection sooner or later. ☺️

That's a rad Raider dagger! Hand ground as well, if memory serves.

You mentioned it being the only piece of his that came out of his shop, but all the knives he made for Wilson Combat (Eagle, Talon, Superfly, and the Tactical Alliance customs) were in-house. The Superfly was first made in late 2017 roughly a year after he moved from Texas to Blue Springs, MS.

No official word yet, but judging by the timeline of social media posts, I’m guessing he’s bringing a batch of inlaid VECPs and some trench knives. There have never been any inlay VECPs before, so that alone could make Texas pretty special.

I’m really curious to see what direction he takes both with the inlays and the blade variations.

Blade variations? As in new blade shapes?

What are the best dealers for Les George in the US?

Those previously mentioned plus usamade gets em and I’ve seen I think tactical elements. Monkey edge with the mefps. I’m sure a few others.

If ya looking to buy new it takes really paying attention and then being really really really etc fast when checking out. The secondary is definitely the easiest as far as acquiring pieces.

I’ve had plenty of Lgs over the last two years. Only 2 Ive gotten new from an online retailer. And I’ve gotten 3-4 from going to bladeshow. The large majority have been from the secondary.
 
Which makes me think a mefp drop this year would be killer because it would probably be a vecp, talos or myna.
