Thats a sweet looking knife. I guess I'll have to settle for the spearpoint that Bandito is working on for me. Unless someone will let me borrow some money

Its an Emerson thing. You wouldn't understand.

I don't care how rare it is. $2500.00 is highway robbery. Does it cut better than any of the other clip point emersons? It doesn't have a wave.
 
Wow rogue, it sounds like you shouldn't buy it. It is a one of a kind custom-period. I would have never paid the $6000 for a pristine Vietnam era Moran that a friend of mine picked up, and I have watched him turn down $8,500. The knife is worth it to him, and Moran collectors, so more power to them. I don't even want to talk about Harley-Davidsons......lol. The same applies here. While it is your right to pass on it, I don't think you have any business demeaning Tamishigiri. You have obviously never done any business with him, because you would find that,like many of the suspects, he is honorable to the core. I get a little bent on this subject, because Tami and I have worked our tails off for the collections we have. We have paid current top dollar for many pieces. We have also sacrificed time and effort with no compensation what-so-ever to have our collections photographed and published so that others who like Ernie's work can share them. Neither of us are rich-we work everyday for an honest living, and every knife we have purchased has been a sacrifice from some other area. I also can tell you that we have never bought one for the purpose of turning it for a profit. So if Tamishigiri wants to sell a rare knife, for what he considers the current rate, that is both his perogative, as well as the perogative of any buyer who wants a very rare knife. It isn't just Emerson's-go price a Steyr AUG that used to be $600, or a real MP-5. Its called supply and demand. If you think its "highway robbery", then keep it to yourself, and pass.

Here we go again. Rogue, if it's not worth that much to you, then don't buy it. You're way out of line posting negative stuff in the man's thread. Guess what, if it's not worth it, it won't sell. Tamishigiri or anybody else is entitled to ask whatever they think their knife is worth.
One thing's for sure. You wouldn't do this if you were standing face to face with him.

I agree with the sentiments posted above. Its bad etiquette posting on someone else's sale to begin with, pogue, and more so when its ignorant.

This knife is a one of a kind custom tactical Emerson. There are only about three knives in the world that meet that description, so frankly $2500 is probably low. It will be a crown jewel in the collection it winds up in, equal to any other custom extant. To question the price its being offered at is to simply reveal the depth of your ignorance, in addition to your lack of manners.
 
Rarity and value relate directly. This knife is very rare and very valuable. I guess we have to deal with posts like this the same way we have to deal with bad weather. I can deal with the fact that they are ill informed and boring but not with the rudeness. Tami is as stand-up a guy as ever posts on this Forum or elsewhere. His collection of Emerson customs is world-class and the product of a lot of time, effort, good taste and money. A 7 like the one being offered is to be admired. If it's out of one's price range just let it go. Don't dump on the price or the seller though. And certainly don't use this Forum as a vehicle to be rude.

Earlier, when I posted the picture I kept myself from posting the following:

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">I had an opportunity to buy this knife sometime back and didn't because I didn't know the seller and the picture that I got was vague to say the least. Tamishigiri got it on a leap of faith and scored big time.

When Tamishigiri and Nyeti were gracious enough to allow me to photograph their collections for the Gallery, I got a chance to examine the knife and I now kick myself in the butt every time I see that picture. The knife is not only unique (I have never even heard of another like it, much less have I seen one), but it's F'n perfect! A true beauty.

Who ever is lucky enough to get it will be getting a prize. (If I wasn't committed to the gills, it would be mine)</font>

I should also add to this that Tamishigiri's character and ethics are beyond reproach in my eyes, as are those of most of the true "Suspects" on this forum.

Not every Emerson custom has a wave. Hell the "Stealth" and the "Rhino" don't have waves either, but I don't think you'll see them at "bargain basement" prices either.

I was at a gun show this last weekend and was showing production knives (including EKI products) to some young men for a dealer buddy of mine. They were very impressed with all the knives until they heard the prices, at which point one youth says "Come on, there's a guy in the back that has knives for five bucks. They'll cut just as good as these will".

Perhaps I could refer you to the gentleman in the back as well.
 
Rogue_Spear,

Not cool.

Posting here on this topic with that attitude is wrong and a I suspect that you know better. Try exercising a satandard of respect and courtesy for others when expressing your opinions. Especially when your in THEIR house.

Everyone, I think Rogue_Spear needs a group hug. It's gonna be OK little buddy, you don't have to be angry all the time.

rogue_spear, if you don't like it, don't buy it. It's extremely poor taste to come into someone else's for sale thread and disparage what they are trying to sell.

Big score for someone! I think its safe to say that we'll never see another knife like that one for sale, and, depending on who got this one, may never see one again!

Congrats to whomever swindled Tamishigiri out of it!
