Thanks, and I sure do.

I bet once he sees how honking huge it is in real life, he'll decide that he needs one too.

Which Emerson did you get?

How do you like it so far? That is a knife I had often thought about buying on a whim but never have so far

 

[crimsonfalcon07]

That is stupid huge... I'd love to see some chopping done with that. Also, which tanto is that?

I like it alot, but unless you're Shaq or Andre the Giant (God rest his soul), it isn't suited to EDC.
It will make a great hiking knife, as you could easily knock thorn branches and stuff out of your path. That would constitute light chopping, which the warning it comes with says it's intended for.
I have no doubt that it would handle a fair bit of ordinary batonning, but if I knew I was going to process much wood, I'd bring a fixed blade (like the Golok or Junglas).
Perfectly centered blade, VERY stiff spring...no way you'll ever get dinged for having a flick knife.
A good knife, but too huge for city use. Perfectly suited for hiking duty though.
I actually laughed for quite a bit when I unpackaged it, as it is just that darn huge. I highly recommend getting one if you've ever considered it though, as build quality is up to my well developed snob standards.:thumbup:

Thanks
My girl gave me the Gentleman Jim. It is by far the best Emerson folder I've handled.

Also, which tanto is that?

That's a heavily used original Master Tanto, back from when they used brass fittings.
It's been batonned, chopped plenty of wood, been scratched to hell, sanded smooth then scratched to hell again.
It cost $300 back in the day.
I think the core of the San Mai they used back then was AUS-8.

Wow, no F&F issues there.
And you can actually carry it in the city too!
I want one now.

The Rajah is definitely a pocket knife, in that it takes up your whole damn pocket.

 

[RevDevil]

I need to get one of those, next payday maybe...

Yep, you'll be playing Crocodile Dundee all day for sure.
Better practice saying "knoife."

Sexy folder you have there, RevDevil

LMAO! That I do not doubt.

Sexy folder you have there, RevDevil

Thanks. It's a great folder for sure.

Lucky you, my dad hates knives. He is one of the people that sees it as "just a tool", yet he spends hours detailing his vehicles...

I love the blade on that knife! You've got a good gal my friend.
