Ordering a CQC6 from Emerson
- Thread starter AC_23
- Start date
without the 4-5 year wait. Good luck - Bill
Order away! It's simple. They take your order, Don't ask for any deposit, and tell you that they'll call you in approximately 5 years for your current address. In about 3 months you'll get a invoice showing your order number to be approx 1800 - 1900. I believe they are now shipping some knives with order numbers in the 600 range. Good luck!
I have to agree with the above unfortunately.
I ordered a CQC6 from Emerson in 1998, delivery is expected in 2002, maybe !
So I brought one from Les, got it in about 4 weeks (not bad considering I live in the UK) and for a reasonable price from someone who you can happily do buisness with.

Here's the deal. If you really want an Emerson then buy one from an existing owner. In this manner you could take as much time as you want to find the right knife and you would still get an Emerson long before a custom order was delivered. You would pay more but a knife in hand...
I ordered a custom Titanium Commander the moment they were posted at Ernie's site. The expected delivery was September of last year.
Then November.
Then January of this year.
Then...
You get the picture.
Nowadays I don't have any expectations of seeing the knife in the near future. Its like a long term investment on the stock market. Don't order a custom from Ernie if you can't put it out of your mind for a long time.

Here is some more bad news for you who have orders with the Emerson Group.
Fact invoice #407 was delivered July 31st 1999. Invoice #432 was delivered in February 2000. Both were CQC6's and both took 5 1/2 years from original delivery dated (initially quoted 6 months). My attorney received his in October, but could not find his invoice.
Yes, upon request I can produce names and address's of these individuals. Currently, Im trying to get copies of the invoices.
The good news for these individuals is that Emerson did honor his price at that time $375.00!
So that is 25 knives in 8 months. This of course does not include show knives and may or may not include military and LEO orders.
So the individual who had a serial number in the 500's, made the comment that he must have missed the Big Brown truck when Derek made the statement that invoices in the 700 range.
To that individual, you did not miss the truck. At the current rate of production you have about two more years before the truck gets to your location.
Derek, judging by the comments from all in this threads. Coupled, with the "new" invoice information. It may be advisable to ask Ernie exactly what invoice number he is currently working on.
Im sure there is a reasonable explanation. Exactly what number invoices are being delivered? Are their different invoice books for different knives? I ask that as, it would appear from your earlier comments that there is only one master invoice list.
Anyone out there with a invoice number above 450 get a custom knife yet? If so speak up and let us know what knife it was.
I have had this information for almost two months. The only reason I have posted this now is to spare future knife collectors (like the one who started this thread)the agony of the "ever extending delivery date".
Sorry AC, but its best to go into a situation with your eyes wide open.
As others have stated, I do have CQC6's for sale.

It seems as if something is rotten in Denmark. I purchased a CQC6 on the secondary, that was ordered in January 1996. Emerson was called in the summer of 1999 and they told him they could ship him his knife if he'd take one similiar to the one he ordered. It arrived in mid year 1999, Invoice # 6xx.

Ok, Denmark is rotten, so is Sweden and every other country as there is just too little Emerson customs anywhere!
Poor us...

Pelle,
The Current price for a CQC-6 or 7, from us (includes the free 5 year wait
) is $525. The $1300 price tag is what you will pay at this time in the after market with out the wait. This is a fact that still amazes both ernie and myself.
There are a lot of differences between the two knives (custom vs. production). It is not too apparent from the small pics floating around but wait until you have one in your hand.
This is an old question. Is ANY knife worth the price asked for it? Very subjective. I know that Bladeforums very own ABS Mastersmith, Dave Ellis has knives that are worth $20-30,000 dollars, maybe more. At that, $1300 seems like quite a bargain.
Take care,
Derek

Well, Derek. That put the issue in another perspective. $525? Makes less than $10 per month to save during the wait.
I am seriously thinking about ordering one...
What´s the added cost for a damascus blade?
Is it possible to have the handle in white micarta instead of the green/gray/black
G-10ish material most often seen?
Also, when will the "custom production" section mentioned on the site be up and running?
