I am so weak - revisited.

A.P.F. · Jan 11, 2013

I was only looking for lanyard beads, honest, when I stumbled upon a new CQC-7B/BT in all it's glory. Now, I am embarased to say, that as a collector of Emerson knives, I had yet to own a 'seven'. Over the years, Rolf (Lycosa) had a substancial collection of CQC-7 knives and raved about them, so with his input in mind, I hit the 'Buy It Now' button. That will make four Emerson knives in as many weeks! I am so weak, but also, I am sooo happy.

Anyone else gone through an Emerson 'spree' lately?

Just bought my first, a cqc-7bw. Im now in love with Emerson.

I'm going through an Emerson window shopping spree. In other words, there are too many models I am interested in purchasing one of, but not enough dough for them all.

That feeling doesn't go away, neither does the need for more dough.

Yep, just got three at once in a huge moment of weakness. Still getting used to them but they are very cool!

Heh, good choice! Once you try the CQC-10 ergonomics, you are spoiled for any other brand. Trust me, I know, the 10 was my 'gateway' drug.

gooeytek · Jan 13, 2013

same for me, the CQC-10 is what did it. I'm starting to notice that a few custom knifemakers have a very similar handle shape in their folders.

I can understand the feeling. I've been really eyeing a cqc 8. Emerson's look amazing and like quality.

If one were to pick an all-around general purpose Emerson, it would be either an 8 or a Journeyman, imo.

That is what I have heard. I really like the blade shape and handle design. Hope to pick one up next week.

matgarsmi · Jan 14, 2013

I got my first (an 8) about a month ago. Realized how awesome Emerson's are, and have since traded for my 2nd (a 7), and I have my 3rd (Commander) on the way. Now, I just need to find something else I can trade to get my 4th, either a persian or a karambit.

Lycosa · Jan 15, 2013

My latest Tan 7B is still holding me.
Nothing "weak" about an Emerson.

Krazy Cash · Jan 15, 2013

USPS is looking into my lost Roadhouse. Doubt anything will come from it but the dealer will refund my purchase (or send me a replacement Roadhouse) if nothing comes of it.

Ok enough ranting. I do have my eyes set on a Roadhouse. Then a CQC10, a Perisan, CQC7V. But i'm committed to hold out until March.

The Roadhouse is a 'must have'. A Tanto with 'belly' is a great idea and works just great in practice. I love mine. :thumbup:

You will enjoy it for sure!

Way to go! I look forward to your impressions of the Persian or the Karambit.

Well Rolf, it only took a few years, but your glowing reports on the 7 finally tipped me over. I have a 7b /BT on the way, finally. I just couldn't wait for the Tan version.

I have found, KC, that the moment you intend to hold out on a purchase, the desired item(s) suddenly become available for a great deal. I think your buy list is excellent!
