Hey, thanks for stopping by. My name is Les George and I make knives.
I started making knives at about age 12. At the time I was an aspiring knife collector and had amassed a box full of knives. When I decided to take my knife collecting to the next level and buy my first fixed blade, my parents declined to allow that to happen. A few months later I encountered a few books on knife making in the public library and with my parent’s permission, a knife maker was born.
Turns out my parents never thought anything would come of it.
I continued to make knives hard and fast until I enlisted in the Marine Corps. It turns out that knife making is not a very mobile thing and it was a very mobile few years. 8 years later I had settled down just little and was stationed in Kaneohe, Hawaii. I took over a small space and once again began making knives. Thanks in no small part too my beautiful wife Bianca. With out her and her support I would most likely still just be thinking about making knives.
In recent months I have honorably separated from the Marine Corps after 10 and a half years of service. Bianca and I have moved to Corpus Christi, Texas and I have set up shop once again.
I look forward to many new things during this new phase in my carear. There is a lot of work left for me to do to get ready for more work to come.
I thank you for your interest and look forward to seeing you out there at a show soon!
