Les George VECP V2 3.5" Folding Knife / Stonewashed Titanium / Stonewashed CTS-XHP ( Pre Owned )
Product Details
If you recall, the Rockeye is named after an ordnance item of the same name and is a fabulous custom knife by Les. There is a variation of the Rockeye, called the VECP. VECP means Value Engineering Change Proposal; it's a program that finds better ways to get the same job done. Since the Rockeye's job is to blow up and send a shaped charge jet into a target, they found a way to do it with a streamlined design and manufacturing process.
One of the goals of the Rockeye design was to have a design that Les could scale up and down at will. Since he has made them with blade lengths from 2.6" all the way up past 7", that box is definitely checked.
One of the hardest parts of making custom folders is managing the variations of materials; steel not straight, titanium bowed and not the same thickness though out, etc. All these things play havoc with knife function and Les spends a lot of his own time on the custom knives fixing those inconsistencies. A lot of time!
Les had an idea for a project where he took out as many of the variables as possible. He kept his designs simple to speed up the manufacturing process and adding value by changing the engineering. Thus, the VECP Project Folder was born.
This mid-tech VECP is one of only a few designs nowadays without a flipper, though it is entirely unnecessary with this folder. The detent is strong enough so that when it breaks, the blade flies open and locks up tightly. It is made from CTS-XHP stainless steel with dual thumb studs, a nice drop point shape and stonewashed finish. The handle is stonewashed titanium with an ergonomic shape that locks the design into your hand. It has a simple Torx screw construction with the new pivot screw, milled titanium lockbar cut to show it is the newest variation of the VECP 2.0 . This is a superb, hard-use folder without any added frills. It's designed to be your every day carry companion and it doesn't get much more rock solid than a Les George knife.
This is a pre owned knife. The knife pictured is the actual knife for sale. Does not include the original box or accessories.
