Caught in a crossroads on next Emerson

Wallaby7747 · May 15, 2014

Hey so I was just looking for some guidance from some people with more Emerson knives than I. As the title says i'm at a crossroads with the next knife I want. So far I have it narrowed down to a small list but i'm having trouble picking the next one to buy.

-Cqc-15
-Roadhouse
-A100
-Super Cqc-7
-Journeyman

I already own a mini cqc-15 and a cqc-7 which is why I was considering the bigger sized versions I was just wondering what everyone's opinions were of the knives here/ if anyone owns these knives if they can post up pictures for size comparisons and so on. Thanks in advance guys!

I have or have had all of those except the A100. I'd pick the Roadhouse.

I would snag a Journeyman just because they are discontinued.

Mini A-100's also so who knows about the full size.

The 10 (3rd from the left) or Journeyman (6th from the left). The 10 was my first ever Emerson and is my favorite among them to EDC.

Out of those the Roadhouse

^^Nice set.
I'm actually eyeballing a 10 right now. Very close to pulling the trigger.
Cheers

I'd say CQC 15, Super CQC 7 has the same blade length, bigger handle (but 15 handle it's better in terms ergo, at least for me)

Wallaby7747 · May 15, 2014

Yeah so far I have a mini 15 a regular 7 and a commander in my rotation. The roadhouse and the 15 are my front runners...I wonder how the super roadhouse is lol

Aias · May 15, 2014

this super 7 is in my pocket right now... don't see it being otherwise anytime soon...

Aias · May 15, 2014

though if and when I pick up a super commander, that might change...

Wallaby7747 · May 15, 2014

I completely understand the commander sentiment mine may only be a regular size but it is by far the most utilitarian blade I have.

Aias · May 15, 2014

Yeah, that might be my "favorite knife that I do not yet have"... well, favorite folder at least.

Lycosa · May 15, 2014

Get the new Emerson Yoroi Toshi.
When it comes out.

Aias · May 16, 2014

what is that... must google...

Wallaby7747 · May 16, 2014

If I recall correctly it's something Lycosa has been trying to get emerson to do for years now. Essentially just a super traditional Japanese tanto that in my opinion resembles the "Americanized" tanto of today.

Had one of those too. Nice, big grip that feels outstanding. Love the 15's ergo's, but like the Roadhouse's just as well but the blade a lot more.

Wallaby7747 · May 16, 2014

Match what is the blade at the very bottom? is that a journeyman or a Krien'd 11?

Officer's Match · May 16, 2014

Krien'd Eleven. My very first EKI. Thinking it might be my first to visit Nath too...

Lycosa · May 16, 2014

Nice pack there, OM.
The yoroi toshi is a specialized Japanese blade designed to punch through armor, the older leather armor. The blade has a chisel shape point and a contoured spine. It's one badazz blade.
