Do you use all your Emersons?

Shame to have them just sitting there. Never thought about selling them?

Don't happen to have a Mini A100 do you haha.

I've given it some thought recently...but haven't taken the time to figure out prices. They don't take up much room, so they aren't in the way, lol. To be honest, once I go there, it will probably be like opening a floodgate - I've got a number of folders and fixed blades I no longer use.

Mini A100? Not familiar with it. All I've got are a (1999) Raven, a (2000) CQC-7, and a (2000) Commander.
 
Rookie mistake to sell them. Don't do it. Knife collecting can be a sickness. Your mood or lifestyle/hobbies may change and you may use them. You sure as hell will probably end up missing them.
I did this years ago selling quality and rare knives I didn't think I would use. Then after I sold them I found myself buying the same knives years later at a premium because I missed them. I lost ALOT of money needlessly. Why oh why did I sell a early run CQC11???:confused:

^^True Dat! I went through the same thing selling off 25 Emersons amongst a pile of other rare folders keeping only the CQC-8 and a handful of others. I ended up replacing most of the Emerson models I sold off a few years later and have paid more for the rarer discontinued ones like the CQC-11.

I have 6 Emersons ( Journeyman, Regiment, Horseman, Commander, 11 and 15) I use and carry them all. It was the 15 and what I put it through that really showed me that these knives are well built and can stand serious work. I have to use my Emersons because I have sold everything else. My number one carry (2+ years)is the Journeyman that now has OD micarta scales (who needs a warranty anyways!).

All but the three birth year of my children serial numbers are users - some more than others. I carry and use the daylights out of one of my SOCFKs. In fact, it's scales are smooth from carry.

What I carry depends mostly on what my anticipated activities are and what I am wearing - as well as whether or not I will be carrying a fixed blade. In any regard, most times, the vast majority of times, I am carrying an Emerson and it is used.

It should be noted that I own largely regular production models because they get used.
 
Yup, I carry all of my Emerson's.
I just can't see a hard-use knife not getting used...doesn't make sense to me.
