Help ID these "Emerson" neck knives

[rfrost]

Hello everyone! I just saw these "Emerson" neck knives listed on eBay, and was wondering if they are really Emerson-made. I have not seen them in any recent Emerson catalogs. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

These are Emerson made. I actually bought #1 from him a few years ago at the NY Custom knife Show. It is a great knife - super sharp and very well crafted. It's basically the blade that goes in the folder. I paid something like $150. At the time, he actually had many fixed blade models for sale at that particular show, but I only bought the neck knife. It pains me greatly to this day....

Thank you Mr. President. I appreciate your information. What (in your opinion) would be the value of the knives? Thanks!

Emerson's current neck knives retail for $250.

Hope this helps,

I haven't seen neck knives in his catalogue or his website. Are they custom pieces? Thanks.

They are custom pieces that are not a part of the normal custom line. They pop up every once in a while when a dealer gets a batch or at a show. Shannon of mdenterprise is supposed to get some titanium LaGriffes soon.
