Gentleman Jim

[LMT66]

Was this discontinued?

Yes it has been discontinued. I almost made the silly mistake of selling mine... instead I sent for some radiused G10 scales and cerakote and got this back with a CQC8 I had sone at the same time.

The Gentleman Jim is one of my favorites... light and pointy.

I planned on getting one of these last year, I wish I could of. Now they are hard to find.

Been telling myself for a number of years that I'd pick one up. Waited too long. Maybe it will come back at some point.

The Gentleman Jim I think is something of "odd one out in the family" with Emersons. Most Emersons tend to be fairly broad bladed and wide handles... the Gentleman Jim is somewhat sleek and contoured.

I assume it never sold well.... but then Emerson does seem to discontinue popular ones like the Persian.
I wouldn't be surprised if they do a short run at some point in the future. It took me 10+ years to buy my Persian lol after selling my original one!!

It is one of the more "efficient" models in the lineup. It proportionally has less "flat" and more "grind" on the blade, and also is pretty strong in cutting edge to handle ratio. I particularly like it in a Custom configuration at it adds thickness to the grip which result in wonderful ergonomics, at least in my moderately large hands.
