They all look great but I do prefer the McNees Frag. I may have to frag it out tomorrow too.

Trust me, I’d take the Talos too, but the frag on the McNees is more pineapplely.
Be good out there.

I really like that Dixon a lot as well. Pineapplely is a new one though

What's the bronze flipper one to the left of the Super FM-1?There are few quicker paths into my good graces than asking about obscure pieces in my collection.
That’s a Super FM-1, one of Les’s earliest folder designs, even predating the Rockeye. It debuted in 2009, and Les actually licensed the Spydie hole directly from Spyderco for it. As you can see, it’s an absolutely massive knife. I own plenty of more ornate pieces, but there aren’t many in my collection I enjoy more than this one. There’s something about the sheer, almost childlike glee of picking up what is essentially a folding pocket sword and flicking it about. 11.125" overall, 5" blade, 12.95 oz, with a deep belly and heavy stonewash on both the scales and blade.

That's a V2 Cerberus, which was a collaboration Les did with Allen Elishewitz back in 2015 (the V1s were made in 2010). Allen hand ground the blades and Les made the scales. It's a big ol' flipper on PB washers.
I don't have a real LG yet, but I hope to eventually. I'm always searching, but I want something special and y'all got em on lockdown...
I recently received these custom Mexican Blanket scales from Patrick at Box Creek Knife Co. to go with my favorite SBR/SFK combo.

Different day different cigar, same sweet knife! I brought one of my favorite Emersons on this adventure, but the liners started showing discoloration within a couple of days. I pulled out my "salt" Talos (dlc Magnacut and dlc handles) and it's been smooth sailing ever since!
