Well, I am glad to finally be back to the forums. I dropped off for a little while, and then forgot my password, and it has taken a couple months to finally get it back (thanks, DC). I am so happy to be able to post know, I have been reading posts for a while and wanting to reply, but couldn't because I couldn't get re-registered. I am from Columbus Ohio, and I am an avid knife collector. My most recent addiction is Emersons. I started off a while back with a 99 CQC 7A Bead blasted half Serrated blade a couple years ago. Then I found a 97 Raven E1 A BTS for a good price and bought that. I really like dthose two, but Couldn't sharpen a chisel edge at the time, and kind of got discouraged. Then after some advice from forumites, I bought a 2000 Mach 1 Satin finiish plain edge with green g-10, and I loved that knife. I also learned the proper technique for sharpening the chisel edges, and I haven't looked back. In the past 6 months I have bought the following Emersons in order.
2001 Mini CQC 7 B SF Black g-10, plain edge #663
2001 Black Bird SF Black g-10, plain edge #1735
2002 Mini Commander SF Green g-10, plain edge #146
2000 Commander SF black g-10 plain edge
2002 Mini Commander SF black g-10, plain edge #247
I am eyeing up a PSARK, but am wondering if it has the same short back spacer and small stop pin my Commander and blackbird have. I would really prefer the beefier stop pin and longer spacer of the Mini Commander. I know the 2002 Commander will be upgraded in this fashion, is the PSARK this way too? should I wait
