The price of entry on the secondary for his customs is too rich for my blood. Getting one direct might be a different story but I'm not going to hold my breath or try to move heaven and earth to get on that list.

My understanding is the only way to get a new one is via lottery at the shows Ernie is building them for. But any Six is uber$ secondary, much less a damascus blade!

Some amazing knives in this thread! I realły enjoyed the earlier Emerson designs, so most of my Emersons are older models. Here's my ante to join the conversation.

I have questions about two of ickkey ickkey 's knives, but anyone who knows or can add to the answers please chime in.

To what does the "MIL-SPEC" marking refer? I've never seen it before. I know the ES1-M was sold to military personnel, but I believe those were all customs. This looks like an unusually labeled (but otherwise typical) 1999 EKI Commander. So what's MIL-SPEC about it?

When did Emerson make a titanium-bladed SPECWAR?! The half-moon logo implies it's old, but I thought he was done using the half-moon by the time he started slab-sided G-10 models. Any information about the era/origins of this knife would be most appreciated.

Glad you're here! I'll let ickkey ickkey answer your questions though. I'm not caught up on all the history.

I'll take a stab at this, I know a little about Emerson knives but there far more here that are more knowledgeable than me.... So Mil-Spec here is referring to the Birdsong Green-T coating on the blade. There were multiple models from Emerson Knives that was marked with this on the blade, but all were coated green to my knowledge.

Again I'll share what little info I know here... That titanium bladed Specwar came from an auction Emerson Knives was having a while back. Ernie has been cleaning house and has been putting many older knives, proto-type's etc... up for sale in Area-51 from the Vault.
