Hey everybody! As I've never owned an Emerson, I only come in here to read up every now and then. But this past weekend I became the proud owner of an Emerson Mini-Commander! A co-worker of mine asked if I was interested, and surely I said yes! He isn't a knife nut, and he said he picked it up at a pawn shop a while back but wasn't getting any use out of it. So about 50 bucks later, she's mine!
I can tell right off the bat that this thing was a user for one of it's previous owners. I was just wondering if you guys could point me in the direction of someone on here who could give this thing a proper cleaning/sharpening. I plan on using it as well, seeing as how Emersons have always piqued my interest, but have somehow remained out of my price range.
Are any of you guys on here good at sharpening these? And taking these stains off? There is a noticeable chip near the tip of the blade. I just want to get this bad boy back in fighting shape, and would gladly slide someone a few bucks if they think they can help me out. Seeing as how I'm not the original owner, and I'm not familiar with the Emerson warranty, I doubt I'd be able to send it in for the spa treatment. Here are some pics for you guys.
Here is the slight chipping of the blade.
I was able to get her fairly centered.
The f&f on this thing is still great, regardless of the user wear.
I appreciate you all taking the time to read this, and for any advice you may give me. I look forward to having more of a presence in this sub-forum. Most of my collection is comprised of Kershaws and Bucks, so I am truly excited to own an Emerson.
