I think this thread name will change to "Convince me to buy JUST ONE Emerson" when you pull the trigger on one again.

So buy a new one from one of the many companies that allow returns, and give it a try. Don't abuse it so it can be returned and try it out for a couple of days.

And if you keep it, see how long it is before you're contemplating what your next one will be!

C'mon, life is short. Test the waters...
 
I never owned an Emerson until recently....always carrying either a Spyderco, Benchmade, ZT, or my Hest/F. one month later, the CQC-7A has not left my pocket and ive even let some of my other folders go. Im really not sure why I waited so long, but better late than never.

thank you sir :thumbup: ...im more than happy with my 7A as my edc folder (did I mention im selling off many of my other folders? lol), and if it wasn't for the holidays (I have two teenage daughter to shop for :eek:), id have probably ordered another Emerson. im leaning towards the the CQC-13 SF Bowie, with the Gentleman Jim SF a close second, but it wont be until after new years when I have a little extra $$$ again before I have to make that decision.
 
As for GJ vs 13, very different animals. Depends on intended usage. I have scarcely had my GJ anywhere but my hands or pocket since unboxing it several weeks ago. As for the 13, while I don't have one of those, I do have three Tigers which have the same handle, so I obviously like them too.
 
So thanks to Silvans, I just bought a Regular Commander model in the stonewash finish. Found it for such a good price that I managed to also get the Benchmade Contego 810 1401 with the blue/black G10! Will post pics when they arrive. =D
 
I bought my first Emerson because of the reputation behind it (Super Karambit). Aside from that, it's hard to beat the quality of an Emerson IMO, outside of a completely handmade custom. Hell, I've had some of my other Corpsmen acquaintances handle my used-but-true Horseman and a friend's Sebenza 25, and all but one preferred my Horseman.

I also like the utilitarian, tried and true simplicity of an Emerson. I don't mean this statement as an insult. There's no gimmicky lock like the Ti-Lock, or off-the-wall G10 pattern cuts like the Profili, or needless features like the Auto LAWKS. An Emerson is simply built, simply strong, and simply--just works.
 
i started with a kershaw emerson collab, then 2, now i've just picked up a mini cqc7 in kryptek, already paid for a modded a100, and eyeing a mini a100, and a mini commander, and a mini cqc15.....

will the list ever end?!?!?!?
