Emerson Commander. Wow.

Do you know the "sharpie" trick to help break it in? You cover the back bevel of the blade where the lock meets it with a sharpie or even graphite pencil will work. It works like a lube to help with "sticking".

I use a lead pencil for that. Gonna try the sharpie to see how that works though.

Looks like a 6 to me as well.
 
That's a beauty!


I would advise against doing a re-grind on it. Any modifications- even just in the finish will void the awesome warranty. Sharpening into a "v" would probably be ok, but I don't know for sure.
 
I sold it to someone that wanted to add it to their collection, first knife I've ever owned I couldn't bring myself to use! I still want a gentleman jim though, I'm gonna throw it in the gravels as soon as I get it so I'll have to use it. The commander blade style just wasn't practical for what I do either. That point just wasn't a point. I could see where it would have it's place though.

What can I say? Some folks have active Emerson receptors in their brains, making them highly susceptible to the addiction, and some don't... :) Thanks again, dude!
 
Check out the Horseman or full-size 8. The Horseman gives up only .3" or something like that and has a 1" shorter handle than the 8. It is really an ideal knife. Stout, sharp, and EDC-able. They have been very hard to find recently, but some dealers just got a few in stock at somewhere in the $135 range.

Also, the stonewashed finish is incredible.
