The Les George Knives Thread

Finally got a chance to take this shot.

It's a MK3 Monday! By far the smoothest action of all the knives in my collection, and that includes numerous bearing actions! If you didn't know better, you'd swear the pivot was loose, it just glides!

How quickly that collection has grown! Lol. Where did you find the morph mk3?

Went from 0 to 3 this year so far!

The VECP and Morph Mk3 were DLT releases, and the tan frag MK3 was obviously Monkey Edge. The action on all of these is unbelievable, but the MK3s are just wildly amazing knives.

That’s right, forgot about the dlt drop.

It's a never sell for me, and sets a bar for smoothness that nothing else has come close to.

My two MK3s have better action than any other folding knives I've ever owned. The only things that have come close were Koenigs and a Medford-made Mongrel (for Vehement Knives).

And that’s washers compared to bearings!

I used to party a lot, but I couldn't come close to keeping up with the way y'all get down on Frenchman st. much less Bourbon St.!

Well I’m glad to hear ya know about Frenchmen st. That was the locals secret spot for a good ten yrs before word got out. Stopped going to bourbon st probably after high school. Some amazing blurry or fabricated memories on frenchmen st!

I'm going to do my best to get out there as well. Just googled it and it's 464 miles from my house to his shop 7 hrs 33 minutes. Sounds like a road trip to me! I may drag my 20 year old son with me, hopefully get a bit of father and son time in . Not sure how the font has changed lol but last open house I went to REC anniversary last August I was able to score my Hinderer BFPU Bowie. Hopefully I will be able to score another grail. It would be awesome to meet Les as well.

I got my BPU Half Track at the 2022 open house... scored my card series BPU PX a few weeks later.

I'd say that event was solely responsible for my rare Hinderer addiction. Didn't even know BPUs were attainable until I saw 'em with my own eyes lol

I hope you can make it Travis! Would love to meet ya! I'm going to do my best to drag Derek with me too

You don't need to drag me, man. I already blocked that day off on my work calendar. USAMB or bust!

Textured handle is definitely the way to go with those.

I've got a green handle textured one and a smooth REC edition on the way, I'm looking forward to comparing the two

I can get down with that!

Agreed. Pro-Tech does a great job with the texturing on these - much improved grippiness, without being abrasive. And with the stout action, it's nice to have a little more to hang on to.
