can i be a usual suspect now?

memnoch · Jan 31, 2001

i have a customised commander with black micarta scales, and titanium bolsters.

does that count in the ranks of custom emersons?

ill get a pict asap.

Participation in the forums garners "Usual Suspect" status, not customs ownership.

In the past there have been two basic levels of Emerson-dom. Customs and Production. I think we're seeing a rise of two more. "Customized Production" and "Custom Production"

I have two production Commanders off being customized. Aka "Customized Production"

Hopefully "Custom Production" will raise it's ugly head very soon.

Ahh, but John, do "Customized Production" Emersons get put in the Gallery?

John Hollister · Jan 31, 2001

I can't see why not, under the "Interesting Pictures" category.

You can't be one until you've done the customary drinking of goats blood, singing "I'm a little tea pot...." naked in Central Park, and paying me the application fee of that customized Commander.

do i have to slaughter the goat with the commander or rip into it with my teeth to show how rabid an emerson fan i am?

you can have the commander, right after you trade me a Nealy Tung Pan, 4.5 inch blade, with textured G-10 handles and filework.

You greedy Bastid, you already have a Nealy Tung Pan.

Your lucky, it used to be a Polar Bear!

I just picked up a Nealy Damascus Pesh Kabz, does that count?

Nealy is one of my favorite Makers actually.

Mitch, A/K/A "Memnoch da Debil" knows that.

Hmm...a new test for "Usual Suspiciondom."

Let me think about that one a while...

Uhhhh... polar bear, huh? ...how many of us get "grandfathered", before this new little initiation starts?

OK OK The only thing I have close to a custom Emerson is my Proto CQC-7B with the "SPECWAR" logo and my PSARK. But I also carry a Nealy 1st Generation Aikuchi,not to mention i've been waiting 3+ yrs for my Leftie-6 does that qualify for membership?
