Another Reason...

to buy an Emerson knife.
Think: Loveless, Dozier, Hartsfield and there are others who radically changed the knife world. Ernest is in this group.
So, when you get an Emerson knife, this piece of history comes with your knife.

Yep, I agree.
Therefore I need a Mini 7A

 

[Lycosa]

Yes. ^
btw, I just recently learned about the Emerson chisel "Edge," not the chisel grind. If I would have known about this from the start, I would have picked up a Commander years back. The chisel thing is my bag.

You said, "Emerson chisel Edge, not the chisel grind", Please Splain as Rickey Recardo say.

Even when an Emerson doesn't have a chisel grind (in other words it has a V-grind), it still has a chisel edge. That is to say it is sharpened only on one side and then stropped on the other.

Chisel edge means a much sharper knife. I have some scars to prove it.

Without a doubt. It's part of the appeal for me.

 

[TMCGLASSON36]

The history and the Man behind it means alot. Not to mention some KickAzz designs(Roadhouse) LOL

 

[Lycosa]

Thanks guys.
DrFish explained the chisel edge vs chisel grind, penny. Thanks, Dr.
And I agree, the Emerson knife is just badazz.

Agreed. I have a gnarly scar from an Emerson and they are by far the sharpest knives I have ever owned.

Tom Krein reground my CQC7 to a zero grind and it was, without a doubt, one of the sharpest knives I ever experienced. Including my Hartsfields.
Who else has experienced a zero grind blade?

 

[mr.ee's]

i have a CQC7 pimped by Peter Grey and rebladed by Rossi with a beautiful polished zero grind.
crazy sharp

Aren't shaving razors and scalpels sharpened with chisel edges?

 

[MrPocketsOfSteel]

Yes. ^

Indeed Rolf. :-D

 

[Lycosa]

Thanks mun. ^
fwiw; Phill Hartsfield told me that a V grind and a chisel grind can be equally sharp. I agree.
I want to also thank Sal Glesser and Chris Reeve, at this time, for changing the knife world.

Yes indeed. Emerson mentioned that on his site as part of his philosophy of designing the way he does. Works for me.

The chisel grind... to know it, is to love it.
