I am working at breakneck speed getting ready for this years Blade Show. This is going to be a milestone show for Emerson Knives. Here are some of the latest updates;
I am planning on having the first 50 or so ECA Knives ready and available at the Show. These knives will be only available to members of the Emerson Collectors Association, (ECA). This years knife is a different kind of creature and is certainly unique. I hope that the ECA members appreciate that the ECA Knives of the year always represent something that is a new, unique or different creation. I design a completely new model for every year, that is only available to the membership.
As you know, most companies just take a standard knife and put a logo on it, or do something like color the liners or handles. This doesnt seem to make it very special, to me.
This years Blade Show will also mark a milestone in the world of Emerson Custom Knives. The custom knives that will be available at this years show will be different and incorporate a change that will take place in all the Emerson custom knives from the Blade Show forward.
The new custom knives will feature a new logo and a change in construction features that you will notice immediately. This is a decision that I made only last week and I believe it will be a definite improvement in all the custom knives. You will be the first to see and feel these knives at the Blade Show.
As to the Custom Lottery; It will be held around mid afternoon on Saturday, and will not be at our booth. I will post the info as soon as we work out the details with Blade.

As I stated in my last Blade Show post, there will be something very big and very special from Emerson at this years show. Like I said earlier, in order to make it work, I cant tell you what it is until it actually happens. I can say this, it will happen during the lottery. Man, if there is one show to get to this year. You have to get to the Blade Show.
