mini cqc 8 question

[Topcatpt]

I have heard some emersons are chisel ground. Is the mini cqc-8? Sorry for the dumb question i don't own any emersons yet. And i wanted to know because i like this one but not if its chisel ground.

All Emerson's have a chisel edge. Some have a V main grind. The Mini 8, or Horseman is a V grind with a chisel edge.

Topcatpt:

cevtv states this very succinctly and to the point.

To expound:

This is something that confounded me for a long time, even after I had owned a couple.

I think I (and others?) were/are confused because the first Emerson many of us seen was a CQC7 (I had the Benchmade version) and the "Chisel ground" blade is the most obvious and striking feature. That led me (and others?) to *think* "chisel ground blade" even when I heard "chisel ground EDGE." I (erroneously) told people that my 2nd and 3rd Emersons (a SpecWar and Commander) did not have "the chisel grind" (semi-true but misleading and easy to misunderstand) or a "chisel edge" (not true-they did.)

Always remember that the edge and the "grind" or blade type are different things, but AGAIN, as stated by cevtv said, ALL have the chisel EDGE.
