Update on Custom Folder Collection

[Nostimos]

Just got my second Terzuola ATCF in last month (second in pic).
My custom folder collection is coming along nicely:

Thats just like my first custom knife ever. That Crawford combat tanto!

 

[Lycosa]

Whoa!

Thank you.

Very nice, old school is cool. You have three of the four tac folder pioneers there, just need an Emerson now and you done. :thumbup:

 

[Lycosa]

Strider, then you're done.

 

[SharpByCoop]

Done?? LOL! The premise of collections of this sort is 'Collect the whole set!'

He's got 500 more to go.

Thanks to you all for the kind words, I'm quite proud of this group myself.

I saw your collection, VERY NICE! I had a chisel ground ti bolstered Crawford Combat Tanto also. Scared the poo out of me to open, gave my friend 8 stitches.
Also had a skeleton handled one with a full hollow ground drop point blade. Wish I kept that one.

Whoa!

Thank you.

YES! Smaller "skeletonized" Combat Tanto with a double side hollow grind, a bit more EDC versatile and not just for self defense.

I don't think I'll ever find a good example of an early Ti bolstered Custom Emerson at a reasonable price.

Strider, then you're done.

I don't think he was even making folders when I had my first Terzuola, Carson, and Crawford in the mid 90's.
I had an early fixed blade of his. Ugly as hell, liked my Dawson better. Still wish I kept it, dont wanna think how much something like that is worth now.

I'm probably only interested in less than 10% of the makers out there.

I'll trade you it for 2 of your vintage Bali-Song USA Samson's . . . . J/K.

Never say never, but finding an early one at a bargain price is definitely not going to be easy... however if you sign up for the ECA they have lotteries twice a year for members only. Which is a good way to improve your chances of scoring a new Emerson custom at a reasonable sum. Won't have the cachet of the 90s ones though, for sure...

Nos- Ask Humpie^ about his Dozier Bowie Folder.
You need a Dozier folder.
And a Leu and Willumsen folder too.
