Greetings to All,
I apologize for being so long away from the forums. I have been on the road for almost all of July and then went right into video shooting for 2 weeks (more on this in the next post).
Emerson Knives is having a banner year. It will be the biggest in the history of this company. At this years end we will have built and shipped 50% more knives than last year. Its amazing what differences a few personnel changes can make. We are in the process of purchasing 2 CNC Grinding machines to replace the current Bergers that we are currently using. This will make a huge difference for us as the CNC machines will literally quadruple our capacity.
The thing that I find completely amazing is that we do not advertise. I only have one ad running in Blade Magazine and thats for the Anniversary HD-7. There are two things I wonder how many knives would people order if we did advertise and how much money do the other knife companies spend on advertising? I see some companies ads in virtually every industry related magazine I pick up. I guess Emerson Knives is in a very lucky position.
Anyway, we are sending out CQC-11s, Commanders, and Azek Maruds (Yes, I still have some HMMV-Ks left to deliver) and the response has been very positive, to say the least. All varieties of Karambits will be ready around Mid-August and HD-7s will be coming up and ready to start delivery around the 1st of August the Comrade M.F.s will be right behind.
This has been a Rockin Summer See the next posts for more.
