I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on my first quality EDC folder and I'm pretty sure its gonna be a CQC-10. where do you guys buy your Emersons?
 
Are you looking for one of his custom folders or one of his production knives?

i would say if its his 1st quality folder its a production but i could be wrong lol.

most folks on the 1st quality one wont wanna spend $1K on it.
 
I'm definitely going with a production for my 1st folder. I am talking to a couple of knife makers about a custom fixed blade though. I've been checking things out on line for a few weeks and I like the looks and reputation of the Emersons. I would really like to see one in person before I spend $140 - $180 on a new knife. I'm looking at the CQC 10 and 11 or maybe the Super 7. I want a waved, plain edge and dark blade. I have a Boker Top Lock I want to sell to fund the purchase of the Emerson. It was modified by a machinist friend of mine to make it an auto so I tried to list it in the classifieds here under autos but I cant get it to post. It says I'm not registered or some thing. I'm waiting for a reply from tech support. So right now I'm price shopping and hoping to find a deal on a used one. I was going to ask if you guys think the Emersons are worth the $$$ but I can guess the answer to that given the fact that this is an Emerson forum
 
You cant post in the for sale forum because you are not a paid member. Yes Emerson's are worth the Jack, but they are not for everyone due to the Blade grind. Have you ever owned a knife with a Chisel grind?
 
No I haven't and I didn't realize that Emersons were a chisel grind. are they all chisel grinds? that sucks about the paid membership deal. can I buy from this forum without being a paid member?

There not all chisel ground but the edge bevel is only on one side even on the knives with primary bevels on both sides.

Yes, you can indeed :thumbup:
 
while all are not CG's like haze said none are conventional "V" grinds either, they are all similar to CG's if not technically a CG, lol, confusing, huh??

long story short, none of them are a conventional "v" grind like say a spyderco delica, if thats what ya want ya dont want an EKI.
 
if you are in Canada, Warriors & wonders (google it) is the best place hands down to buy an Emerson. I have thre from Jay, the owner. :)
