I was just checking out another forum's custom knife section and came across Les George. He makes some really nice folders and fixed blades. He's also licensed to use the Spydie Hole on his designs.
What are the chances that this could happen? I think a collab version of the Rockeye or Hydra R would be sick. :D It could bring another Ti frame lock into the mix.

I would love to have a plain jain knife. :p :)
Currenly Les George's order books are full. He is good at what he does. He makes incredible folders for the price point. The man is truly one of the coolest guys out there. I know everyone buys the knife, but I buy the maker as well. With Les you can't go wrong. A spydie collab will give people a chance at his designs who otherwise will never get a custom straight from Les for either financial or availability reasons.
With every knife Spyderco doesn't need to break the mould and think fully out of the box.
Put a good steel and a good handle material people will buy Les Georges Folders.
I would go with the Rockeye over the FM-1. I think the Rockeye is a gorgeous knife.

p.s Please let me know whenever the orderbooks open. :)

I have a Les George FM-1 in CTS-XHP. I love it, beautifully executed, smooth as silk and built to last. Les does large folders really well. Maybe the collaboration challenge for Spyderco/Les could be a slightly smaller folding integral lock knife. Something just a bit more pocket friendly than his custom offerings. Seems like that would be very palatable from a marketing standpoint as well. Just a thought.
I don't have a clue how these collaborations come to pass but I'd love to see it happen!
