Been a Spyderco and Benchmade fan for a long time. Lately I have been interested in Emerson's. The commander line was no doubt my style, seemed the commander may have been a little big. I ordered a mini commander today and can't wait to get it. Depending on the size, I could see a commander in the future for an on duty knife. Watching interviews with Mr. Emerson turned me to try one of his knives.
