Fellow Forum Members,

This will be a never ending project. We are going to attempt to combine Sniper308's "Inventory of Emerson Custom Folders" list with my passion for pictures. We're going to make an interactive list of Emerson knives, complete with a Glossary and many other interesting Emerson related items.

For those that are not familiar with the "Inventory of Emerson Custom Folders" string, Sniper308 wanted to know exactly what customs were in the hands of forum members. The results are quite interesting. Through this ongoing list, we have found many interesting variations and you can get a feel for exactly how rare a particular model or variation actually is.

If you are lucky enough to obtain a new piece or unlucky enough to have to part with one, please let Sniper308 know. One nice thing is that very often many of these pieces just change hands within the forum. His E-mail address will be listed at the bottom of the page. Submissions are anonymous for those that so desire.

As mentioned above, we would like to make the list interactive. Hopefully we will be able to link the model and variations to pictures, that's where we need your help. Do you have a picture of a knife that is not already linked? Do you have a picture of a variation? How about just a unique or informative picture? Send it in to be a permanent part of this list.

If you will E-mail me your picture, we can put it up on the list. One problem with individual links is that they tend to come up as broken links in a short period of time. By keeping all the pictures in one location, we eliminate this problem. Full credit will be given to the submitter of the photo or as above, you can remain anonymous. The best pictures will be the main link and others can be seen as separate links off to the side.

Pictures should be as clear as possible (I can help clean them up if need be) and the pictures should be of a single knife, unless it is to show something specific, like say the size difference between a Commander and an ES1-M or something of the like. The higher resolution (within reason guys

) and clearer the better.

Again, this is a group project, we can't do it with out your help and assistance. The format will definitely change as this list grows. Feel free to make comments below, but for organizational sake, please don't attach the photos here, E-mail them in. My E-mail address is at the bottom of this posting.

Thanks

John Hollister & Sniper308

John and Sniper,
Great idea and thanks.
John I would like to hook up w/ you at some time at one of the "Events" you attend.
If your ever out this way I would bring ALL my Customs to be able to memorialize the Customs I posess. I will pay for film costs etc. My Software is giving me compatibility problems w/ transporting digital photos from my JVC Digital Camera to CPU.
I'm planning to attend COPS WEST, SOF,(13th,14th) Blade West Show.
Thanks again.

Bingo! We have a match.

I'll be at SOF working a booth this year. Film costs are zero, I'll bring the digital.

Also guys, let me mention that if you don't have a digital camera or scanner, not to worry. If you have good quality (film) pictures, email me. You can snail mail them to me and I'll scan them in and return them to you.

John

John,
Sounds good. I'll email you my # offline and we will set a rendevous place and time.
Let me know what both your at. I've got some business w/ a few other guys there so this may be a excellent trip after all.
Let's plan on Friday hooking up. I'll give my wife five bucks for the nickel slots. That should keep her busy for a couple hours.

I wonder if I should take out Xtra insurance for this trip !

Come on guys, need more pictures! Send what ya' got.

What needs to be added? Especially to the Glossary section.

John
 
Thank you Sir.

Also guys, this is being updated several times a day, as I get pictures. The changes made to the list does not kick it up to the top or light the folder up as red, so check back often.

(Hint: Check out the CQC9 pictures that just went up

)

John
 
Great work guys, the more pics the better. I find it interesting to see the subtle differences in the blade grinds from one cqc6 to another cqc6 etc, etc. The beauty of a handmade knife - no 2 are exactly alike. Don't be afraid to post more than one pic of each model.

I hear the handmades calling me!

Hey John, I talked to Tamishigiri today, and it sounds like we are going to do SOF together again, so I too will bring a case of Emerson customs for the gallery. Look forward to seeing you there.-Nyeti

AWESOME!!

It would be an honor to take pictures of two of the three largest Emerson collects that I am aware of. Look forward to meeting ya'll.

This post is public vote of thanks for the work done by John and smiper308 in pulling this resource together - it is awesome and in only a week.

Thank you to all of the rest of the suspects for spending the time sending your own photographs in or arranging to see John for him to take pictures of your collections.

Regards,

Ed
 
Some new pictures have been added and some great information on logos. Thanks Jbravo.

Anyone have any more pictures of insight to add to the list?

John
 
John,
Just got back to town after a vacation that involved an internet blackout. Your efforts are superb. What a resource, and what a beautifully put together job. Thank you. Keep it coming.

Some new pictures are up including a Vindicator, a new neck knife shot and an example of a non-filed bolster.

A new section has been added for "Other Interesting Pictures". This area will be for . . . well, interesting pictures of Emerson products that are not used above. Also pictures of Production models can also be submitted for display.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed thus far. Keep 'em coming.

John
 
Eight new pictures have been donated by an anonymous collector.

Included in this collection (but not limited too) are a Specwar Proto, a Tigershark and an amazing picture of six CQC6s. I have to tell ya' . . . my eyes bugged out when I opened that one.
