Have this Emerson custom proto from 1995 or 1996--$traded
Original description from sales thread where I got it
1) This is a rare MINT folder from Ernie Emerson. It is a prototype made in 1995 or 1996 that was used to showcase Ernie's talents and possible future models to prospective investors. This is NOT a pre-production model - it was made waaay before there was a factory!
It has a satin, chisel ground, single bevel, spearpoint blade, 3 1/2" long, with ambi thumb disc, and a deep swedge. The thick titanium liners are beadblasted, with the lockbar showing hand cut notches and the offside with a recess. The thick black G-10 handle scales are hand shaped and chamferred, with black hardware throughout, including a tip up clip. The action is smooooth as silk, and the lockup is rock solid. This is one of perhaps three that were made, although the others may be tantos. Everything about it screams hand fitment, and the fit and finish are pure custom Emerson.

my pics from day of, or day before listing. I have never carried, or used this beauty. It has sat in the safe in this pouch other than a couple of fondlings.
Doug Noreen scagle folder with flame stained mammoth ivory w/nickel silver arrowhead $475
Doug Noreen bartow w nickel silver bolster and mammoth ivory scales and sheath. Nice piece to engrave $550
I cut off the tip in photo only by mistake
see here's the tip
Fairall $400 been carried and cut some paper and little cardboard by previous owner. I think it was $500 originally. It has some scratches on the blade that didnt show, and the blade is a little loose. Still a nice piece at the price with carbon fiber and s30v
Prices are for USPS MO INCONUS priority mail w/signature confirmation. I will take paypal if its a deal breaker. All knives are new and unused and uncarried unless stated otherwise.
