What does that even mean?



I don't know what Ken Onion had in mind when he coined the term, but it's become so convoluted now, everyone has to deal with it on their own. For the sake of me, here for George Knives, it means I send out the main blade bevel grinding. Other than that, and the quantity (the industrial blade grinders wont fire up the big machines for one or two knives) my midtechs are run very much the same as my custom work. I believe honest is the MOST important quality in this age of confusing terminology. If I ever leave you unclear and you want to know, ask and I will tell you.



VECP V3



VECP stands for Value Engineering Change Proposal and the basic concept is to take something and streamline it while retaining the utility and mission readiness. The George Knives VECP project goal was to take the design of the full Les George Customs Rockeye folder model and streamline the manufacturing to create a utilitarian version that was more obtainable to users than Les's full customs. The result is a superbly designed, tough as nails folder. Built in the same shop and with the same attention to detail as Les George's full customs, the only difference is that the VECP blades are machine ground rather than hand ground.



Galvo Dagger



The Galvo has similar handle to the award winning V14 dagger. The blade is shortened to maximize ease of carry. 3/16 thick without the bulk of handles to make sure it rides easy and is there when you need it.



Talos



The Talos. The Talos is similar in size to the legendary VECP folder, but has more radial design elements. The blade is given a upper swedge grind for a spearpoint tip profile. The George Knives Talos project goal was to take a design similar to the of the full Les George Customs FM-1 folder model and streamline the manufacturing to create a utilitarian version that was more obtainable to users than Les's full customs. The result is a superbly designed, tough as nails folder. Built in the same shop and with the same attention to detail as Les George's full customs, the only difference is that the Talos blades are machine ground rather than hand ground. The final bevel and fitting is still done one at a time by Les.



ESV - Extra Small VECP



So that crafty Les George takes the crazy popular VECP model, kept the width dimensions, and then reduced the length to create the small pit-bull of a knife known now as the ESV. The ESV allows a smaller knife to still retain a great handle filling grip for real work. The frame is set up with satin standoffs and a lanyard hole. If you live in a restrictive environment, or if you just want to roll with a smaller knife that can still do "big knife" work, the ESV fits the bill! Shown here with the exclusive Monkey Edge "FRAG" pattern.



VECP Fixed blade

The Eagle - Wilson Combat Exclusive



A Wilson Combat exclusive, the EAGLE is a rugged, framelock flipper design with the Wilson Combat signature Starburst Titanium handle pattern and Carpenter XHP “Super Steel” stainless tool steel recurve blade for the ultimate in edge holding and corrosion resistance. The handle of the EAGLE is precision machined and smooth tumble blasted lightweight Titanium with a robust integral framelock, chamfered lanyard hole and Titanium pocket clip. The rugged open-frame construction makes it easy to clean trapped dirt and lint. Unlike many other tactical folders that are blocky and overweight, the EAGLE has been designed to be slim and easy to carry without sacrificing any strength or performance. The precision ground and finished 3.6" blade of the EAGLE is a high performance tactical clip point profile with a slight recurve for impressive cutting power. The Carpenter CTS XHP powdered alloy steel has all the strength and edge retention of the best tool steels with superior corrosion resistance. The hand sharpened blade is polished to a smooth, non-reflective high luster for easy maintenance and rides on stainless steel bearings for a lifetime of glassy smooth operation.
