I picked one up at blade show last week. I got the same handle pattern as you but with the Damascus blade. Smoothest knife on washers I’ve ever experienced
Wow, handle profile (radiusing, flaired guard, swell) blade profile (bayonet grind pattern, spear point shape), washers...awesome. and I understand you may need a @SatuDave aluminum oxide blast to remove the slickness. Very cool!👊✌️
Good video dude. Yeah big fan of Les George as well. Great guy. The Rockeye is the only design of his that I have currently. The Spartan Astor has been on my list.
Never been a big fan of the dagger look, but that is a sweet knife. I actually really like thumb discs for deployment. One of my top fav designs is the 0640 and, like all other Emersons, it uses a disc. It's just more fun feeling to use vs a stud, even tho with a stud it feels like you do get a bit more control to slow roll it. At least you can with axis lock-style knives, since the detent isn't intense. LG is awesome. Still gotta land me a VECP one day. Not the button lock version, though. F button locks 😆
@@chucknunface yeah I bet they do it right. I've had too many poor experiences with button locks on other knives. Granted they were all China knives 😅If I get a chance at a VECP for the right deal and it happens to be a BL, I probably won't pass on it 😁
