Only one....

edmoses · Jul 14, 2000

For this thread you do not have to own the knives in question.

What I am asking is starting today, if you had unlimited funds, resources or availability, what one single Emerson would the readers of this forum buy as the "one to have"?

Regards,

Ed

My choice - full dress, ladder pattern damascus CQC5

John Hollister · Jul 14, 2000

I'd have to go a plain ol' E1S-M. Black-T or Satin.

I'd have to stay with the CQC6, not very adventurous, but what the hell !

Nice choice jackstraw.

The CQC-6 is Emerson's most original design and has classic styling that is often duplicated but not quite captured. I am sure that the CQC-6 will go down as Emerson's most wanted folder and the fact that there is no commercial version just adds to the mystique. When I show my CQC-6 at knife shows, I am continually surprised at the responses.

I'm with Ed on this. A full dress, halfmoon logo, single bevel edge,file worked, CQC5 would be very nice. But then again, I would be happy with a plain CQC5 too.

So if we are talking knives which have never been (or will be) produced how about:
Devin Thomas spirograph damascus blade (hot blued of course) with ladder pattern damascus fileworked spacer. Robert Eggerling damascus bolsters with blue Mastodon ivory scales. Jeweled and anodized liners on a.....
RHINO!!!

Mine at this point would be a Waved CQC 8 w/ "Gut Hook" or ES1-M w/ "Gut Hook".
Just Black.
