Wilson Combat "Eagle" Framelock Titanium Flipper |
| Detailed Description | ||||||||||||||
|
Framelock Tactical Folder with Trigger Flipper Only from Wilson Combat in collaboration with acclaimed Custom Knifemaker Les George. 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 EAGLE is one of the fastest opening manual tactical folders on the market. The trigger finger flipper is lightning fast into action and easy to operate with or without gloves. The light weight and slim profile will ensure the EAGLE will spend a lot of time riding shotgun in your pocket every day. The handle of the EAGLE is precision machined and smooth tumble blasted lightweight Titanium with a robust integral framelock, chamfered lanyard hole and Titanium deep-pocket clip that can be positioned for blade tip up or down opening. 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 pure Teflon bearings for a lifetime of glassy smooth operation. For every day carry for utility or defense, the EAGLE will meet any folding knife challenge. The EAGLE is made in small quantities by a master craftsman and only limited quantities are available. SPECIFICATIONS
Les George "I began making knives in 1992 and have been fortunate enough to have worked with and learned from some of the best knife makers in the world. The maker most responsible for my progression is Stan Fujisaka of Kaneohe, Hawaii. I had been making knives for several years before I met Stan, but he opened the door to a new level of knife making for me and shared his considerable knowledge with me freely. I will continue to refine my craft and to build on all that I have learned so far.
I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1997 and spent over 10 years in its service. I served as a heavy equipment mechanic, an Embassy Guard in foreign lands and a Senior Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician in many of the world’s garden spots.
I have trained in Explosive Dynamic Entry, Advanced Access and Disablement, Improvised Explosives and Devices, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Close Quarters Combat and many other technical and tactical skills.
I have deployed to, lived and worked in Laos, Thailand, North and South Korea, Peru, Mozambique, South Africa, Iraq and many other places in between. Since my departure from the Marines I have worked as an Unexploded Ordnance Technician clearing unexploded munitions, from projectiles to land mines from old training areas.
As an EOD Team leader in Iraq, I oversaw over 300 EOD responses and over 100 Improvised Explosive Devices where rendered safe. All of these experiences have given me a unique view of how I think knives."

Very thin knife, easy to carry. | Date Posted: 2/14/2013 |
| Awesome knife. Opens really quickly. I almost returned it out of guilt, but when I received it, I knew it was a keeper. I needed a knife to compliment my Supergrade, and this is it. | ||

Tunemans Review | Date Posted: 2/7/2013 |
| The Wilson Combat Eagle/Les George collaboration is truly a great knife. This is my 2nd knife from Wilson, along with a Wilson Combat AR trigger and I have to admit, theyre all very well designed, function great, and cosmetically pleasing. The first knife I bought was a Rapid Response Folder with Cocobolo inserts. | ||

| I received my knife in the mail about a week ago: It has not left my side since. This is a solid piece of equipment that is brilliant because of its spartan design and high quality components. There is no wasted motion here. The slim, lightweight design fits nicely in ones pocket as well. | ||
