Received this beauty the other day, and just found some time to take handle this knife some and take some pictures.
Since I've gotten the M-15, it has been my favorite Emerson model to date. Only thing better would be a custom M-15, but so far, not one has been made. So I did the next best thing. Send a production to Ferrrk (Phil) for him to work his magic on. And boy, did this knife really fulfill my desire for a true Emerson custom!
One thing I'd like to express is that the more work I have done with Phil, the more I know what to ask for to take advantage of his awesome skills. And this latest job from him does just that.
So here's the scoop. So after seeing the new CQC-45, and checking out models like the 19-eleven and HMMV-K, I wanted my M-15 to have some of the thickest liners available in a knife. The lock is 0.104" thick while the thickness of the opposite liner is 0.09". I also asked for a HMMV-K-ish titanium backspacer for added grips and looks. Black micarta scales paired with long, angled titanium bolsters. The action of the knife is noticably smoother than before. All screws and Ti parts were given a satin finish.
The new stonewashed finish on latest Emerson are awesome, so the blade was left untouch, thus allowing me to keep the Emerson logo on the blade for once.
Without futher delay, here is the knife.

Check out the super thick liners with perfect lock up.

A few more shots showing the fit and finish of Ferrrk's work. Check out where the Ti bolster meets the Micarta scale.

Now the knife it all its entirety.

That's some very nice custom work - the brushed finish looks excellent.

Great attention to detail. Beefy lockup. I would put that one in the safe.
 
Damn Paul, you must be putting Phil's kids through college all by yourself at this rate. :D

Awesome blade bro.... now dont sell it! :D
 
Yeah bro. This one is a keeper. Of all the ferrrk'd knives that went through my hands, this is one of two that I've kept.
 
You made me jizz my pants (except I'm not wearing any) :D

I'd like to send him a mini 7 once another run comes out.
 
Exactly! Why the fuck wouldn't you carry an Emerson with perfect lockup? Great score!
 
Very nice but I still say that lg 14 you had was it for me. Never seen one before yours and haven't seen one since the one you had. Ferrk is the man that is for sure. keepem sharp

Yeah, I do miss that knife, but I was getting out of control with the monetary value of a knife that I would carry. I really had to draw the line somewhere. A couple short years ago, I wouldn't carry a knife more than $200, and look at me now.
With this ferrrk'd 15, I can carry a ridiculously awesome knife that compares to a true custom, at sometimes a third of the price.
 
That's good solid thinking Paul. I never feel comfortable carrying and using expensive customs either.
