Show us your Emerson Collections!!! :D (PIC HEAVY)

[SOC_MRN_Leon]

Show us your used and abused Emerson Collection! Would be nice if you could give a brief description (or story) on why you chose to get that knife, how you like it and all that good stuff! Remember to post as many pics as possible! Emersons Knives just tickle my fancy....in the good way!

I'll go first!

Here are my 4. I gifted my girlfriend a 14 but sold it because she wanted something a little bigger. I plan on getting matching Commanders for the both of us. A regular sized for me and a mini or micro commander for her.

The Horseman was the first one I've ever gotten for myself and received it in a trade. I used this thing to the max and only the coating on the tip has given out a little bit. Lock failed and cut me at one point but its fixed now. I have big hands and it for some reason it fits it well. Kinda odd, I could go for the regular 8 though. Lock up is tight with minimal up and down play. As you can see the handles are not grippy but smooth. I received the knife that way but they were not sanded down all the way. It seemed to have been spray painted a khaki color then sanded off but I finished it off and looks pretty good. Its on the thin side though.

This one is a Benchmade/Emerson collaboration when Ernie still hasn't begin making his knives. Benchmade 975 or the Emerson Super 7 variant. This one has easily become one my top folders! Also the first knife in my entire collection that has a Chisel Grind. I wasn't too fond of it at first but man this thing cuts like a laser! It comes bead-blasted with blacked out hardware which I immediately changed. Gave it a 2-tone finish and mirror polished the hardware. After wards i ended up giving it a full Satin finish which was a pain but came out looking good. Gave it a Blue CF clip and it just fits so good. I carry this one almost everyday! Never gonna get rid of this one!

Next up, the ROADHOUSE!
This is one is a bad Mofo! I got a great deal on it and really really like it! I dont carry it as much because of its looks. It's aggressive lol. This one was just am impulse buy and do not regret it one bit. I I wouldn't mind trading this one off though but for now I'm just looking to increase my Emerson collection instead of reducing it lol. This one could use a .45 thumbdisc. Polished up the pivot on this one. I really think that all Emersons should come with Satin Hardware to correspond with the blade but that's just me

Last one I bought and love very much is the Emerson Journeyman. I dont understand why this is such an underrated knife! I believe it has one of the most EDC'able blade shapes out of all of them! Ergo's are phenomenal! I upgraded the hardware with some Ti and gave it a Sterling Silver Thumbdisk. It doesnt have the wolf emblem clip on right now but it will soon! I can't imagine getting rid of this one at all! A Super Journeyman (Superman) would be amazing! This should be on everybodies top list to get!

Some more pics to hold ya'll over!

Hope yall enjoy the pics! Looking foward to seeing everybody elses collections!

awesome collection. Been thinking of making a super 7 my next purchase given how much i love the cqc-7, torn between that and a SOCFK.

I love how you're always posting pics of your knives from inside your car. I kind of just wanna photoshop one of those pics so like your speedometer is on something like 85 mph, so it looks like you have no hands on the wheel and are traveling very fast well not paying any attention to the road at all because your taking pictures of your knives. That'd just be pretty funny to me.

Subbed. I've only got a few, but I'll post pics later

Lol! I got a chuckle out of that! Well my phone takes pretty good pictures and I take them in my car because of the good sunlight lol. I'll post a pic on how I imagine you're dream emerson tanto to be buddy!

Subbed. I've only got a few, but I'll post pics later

Told ya you'd have to wait Kev!

And Onion Poptarts....something like this?

Excuse the additions I've made, they're just some mods I'm planning for my super 7. I added a small belly to it. Nothing major but I think it looks great like that!

 

[OnionPoptarts]

yes! Very much something like that, a small bellies all it really needs to be far more effective as an EDC. The blood groove is a nice touch too. Is the thing around the center bolt supposed to be a ball bearing internal system? Thats a cool idea for a more gentleman model, but to keep it really emerson you'd have to do without it.

Yea I know lol, just thought an upgrade would be cool. The pivot is an upgrade to David Curtiss's S.P.O.T. Pivot design. I liked t so I just slapped it on there. Just for fun though.

And yea it's for a more gentlemanly look. I know a great pimper who can do this for me!

Here is my contribution

The one on the left was a 99 Commander, which I no longer own. The second from the left is a 99 Specwar A BTS, sold it. The Black Mach-1 went to a friend. The Tan Mach-1 was pimped by Ferrk as far as I know. It has contoured scales and feels amazing in the hand. It was serrated, but I wanted a Plain Edge, so I sent it off to Jesse Jarosz. He made it into plain edge with a recurve and put a mirror polish on the blade. This is one of my favorite knives. It also has a Steel Flame Darkness clip. The knife on the top is a Benchmade 975S that was also reground by Jesse. He did an Anso pattern on the scales. It was one of the first blades that he put his makers mark on. He no longer pimps knives or regrinds blades. He has his own line.
I have two other Emersons that are not pictured, an M-wave and a Persian that was pimped.

My fav in that pic is the custom 11. I have a Kreined 11 that is near and dear to me.





No full collection pic's right now, but here's a few partials.






Latest two newcomers:

 

[S.T.R.]

^Your 11 looks great. I wish Tom Krein was still doing regrinds. I would have him regrind my prodo 11. How does yours feel compared to the Journeyman? I'm also looking for a 15. How do you like it so far?

I prefer the J-man's ergo's, but the TK'd 11 is a laser. Love the 15's feel, haven't used or carried it at all. Something else came up so it won't be staying.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuude(s).
