New Commander with CN coating

Hi all,

Just picked up a Commander this weekend at the Gun and Knife show in Lakewood.
All I can say is "Man, is this knife ever sweet!!"

I never thought I would get my hands on one but now...I am ecstatic...
I even found one with the Chromium coating...very nice indeed.
Don't get me wrong, I like the other styles and would have been just as happy with any, but this one kicks serious buttocks.

So my question is: Are these that hard to find(specifically the CN coated ones)? Is the coating durable, and do these jeans make me look fat

I plan to use mine and use it well, hell I have even blooded it already(quite accidentally you know, but those serrations are hella-sharp), Now "we" are 'ONE'
Anyway, I am now a true Emerson fan as I can appreciate his work up close and personal and now I want MORE....
 
HC LEO,

You are correct, this is of the Satin Finish variety.
So this means it is "Hard Chromed" then and not CN coated. Is there really a big difference?
I like this knife alot(it has become my primary carry and plans to stay there for a while),I plan to strip it, buff out the liners a bit and even out the scales to match up with the liners. Wish I knew how to "jewel" the liners. The one in the thread you lead me too looks very sweet.
One problem I do have is that two of the screws holding the scales on are just a bit short(and let me say that they are not actually long enough to reach the liner so are not secure)

...anyone know where I can get a few "longer" replacements?
Thanks for your responses.

Yea..I also noticed the screws seemed a bit...'short'...or 'small' for a tactical folder!

Tell us more about the CN Commander...dates made, serial number quantity, CN material durability..etc

Just a quick follow-up.
I finally got a chance to take it apart and smooth out the liners a bit. I got a chance to see how these things were built and I must say I am quite impressed.
I used some of the CRK teflon grease on the washers and pivot and it is so smooth it is scary

This is definately a "keeper".

Peace,

Roy
