Long story short, I've ran through the run of the mill brands and knives much like everyone on here, Spyderco, BM, ZT, CRK, Hinderer, Medford.....etc etc

So about a year and about 50 knives later I find myself only using and carrying my QCQ-7, so the last week I figured why not sell off most of this stuff I don't use? (was just a few Spydercos, ZT's and some Midtechs)

Now I'm still a massive ZT fan but I figured why not just go all Emerson and ZT? and that's what I did and I don't plan on going towards any other brands at this point.

I'll continue re-buying some of the ZT's I miss, maybe some other brand designed Emerson's and searching for some discontinued Emerson's.

Last Wednesday I had 1 Emerson (my trusty CQC-7) and now today exactly 1 week later I now have 9 Emersons and 1 ZT/Emerson and won't be slowing down anytime soon.

I Just figured I would share some quick images. Anyone else go on a buying binge recently? I'm sure most of us have :)

Nice collection!

How you likin' the Sheepdog? I love mine.

A bit of advise, keep the lock face/blade tang on the Sheepdog lubed with graphite. It not only keeps it from sticking, but keeps the lock from traveling also.
 
^ Thanks guys,

I love the Sheepdog, its not my favorite but for company that doesn't do flippers its not bad.

Its funny you say that, because every Emerson I get the first thing I do is take it apart, clean it, oil it and add some graphite on the lock face :thumbup:
 
Wow! They sure did multiply! Which ones are you most impressed with? How you like the Spec War and..Apache?

I love the Apache, a bit big but its an awesome knife, I don't have a SpecWar, that might be the SOCFK you are seeing, its pretty similar in style to the SpecWar.

I'm actually really impressed with the P-Sark, its a wicked looking blade and I really like the size, I think the Horseman feels the best in hand.
 
VERY nice collection! But sorry to hear you've been bitten by the bug now ;)

In my experience, there's no known cure for the Emerson bug. The only way to treat the symptoms is to get more Emerson knives.

I wish the apache was bigger. Go figure, still an awesome design.

Op, hell of a nice collection of emersons.
 
Nice collection there, I was considering the Apache, but the CQC-15 and a Jungle commander are currently top of my list, followed by a non waved CQC-7 or a A-100. I've thought of slowing down but it is an obsession.
 
ZT collaboration while being made from better material it just don't have the "feel" of the real Emerson IMO.

I had the 0620cf. It was a really nice knife, but I traded it for a real Emerson. Not sure the material is "better" just different.

I totally agree but since I'm a huge ZT fan I had to get the 0630, I had the 0630CF but prefer the blade shape of this 0630 over the tanto.

Also picked up a Protech CQC-7 Auto tonight, wanted to give one a try, we'll see.

I don't mean to debate with you since we both are Emerson fan but can't argue that CPM-S35VN or Elmax is a better overall steel than 154CM and Ti framelock is just an upgrade over Ti liner lock.

I disagree with this "feel" quote 100% unless you mean "feel" as a pejorative. My ZT actually feels 100% better than my EKI, but I still love them both.
