The knives!

Emerson CQC 10. Used but still in good shape. It has a V edge, done by the previous owner on either a WE or EP. He did a very good job. I dropped it once so there is just a small bit of jacked up edge about a half inch down from the tip. Very minimal though, a few passes on a stone will take it out. Normal wear on the clip. Normal wear on the g10. Solid lock up with no blade play. The blade sits nearly centered just a hair towards the clip side. Comes with a box that has seen better days.

Rebladed Emerson Commander. Used but in solid shape. One of a kind! It has an m390 blade made by Reese Weiland and was later shaped to its current state by Charlie Mike. The blade is thicker than standard Emersons so it does not have room for any washers. Still opens smoothly though. I can easily thumb it via the wave hook. The tip is rolled a little bit but it will sharpen out (I'm not skilled enough to mess with higher end steels). Some marks on the g10, pivot screw and the clip. Locks up solid with no blade play. The lock will stick a little bit when waved. The blade sits a little towards the clip side. No box nor the original blade/washers.

Backwoods recurve fixed blade. Lightly used. I believe it is made out of 1095. .15 thick. 8.5in overall with a 4.25in blade. About 4in of cutting edge. Very light patina. Not sure what wood the handle is made from, maple perhaps. Lots of character though. Sits in an attractive, tooled leather sheath.

I am diggin that commander for some reason.... Can u post a spine shot?

 

[benchwarmer380]

You got it. The coated blade is a Mini Commander for reference. The rebladed Commander's spine is rounded so the spine shots don't truly show how thick it is. The lock up pick shows this better.

While the pictures tell a tale, I took some measurements with calipers to add a little more perspective.

Emerson Mini Commander (Stock i.e. "V" grind and chisel edge)
Blade thickness: .12in
Behind the edge: .02in

Emerson CQC 10 ("V" grind and a "V" edge)
Blade thickness: .12in
Behind the edge: .03

M390 Commander
Blade thickness: .16 (it does start to taper about half way towards the point)
Behind the edge: .03
