My tastes usually change from week to week. I have most of the production Emersons and just picked up a satin finish plain edge CQC7. This knife is flawless, great lock up, nearly a zero ground edge, and sits perfectly in the handle. I love my Commanders but don't seem to carry them as much as I thought I would. Anyway here's my current list.

CQC7
Microtech SOCOM black Tanto
SOCFK spear point
Commander black plain edge
Cold Steel RECON1 plain tanto.

Cheers

Camillius Cuda in tanto

EKI SpecWar in tanto
EKI Commander

Hey John,
So YOUR the guy who got the Ryan recurve neck knife. Oh man, I'm envious. I even have a pic of it on my laptop!

The Emerson Tactical Persian is my favorite. Followed by the Viper-3, Tanto Prototype, CQC-6 and Fred Perrin's hand forged Szabo Jaws prototype.

I really like Commanders.

I really like Waved Emersons...

I like to flip and twirl things and audition for Bennie Hana's...

But if we have to play, can I bring this to the fray?

Hey Don!

The second commander from the top looks kinda dull, maybe it's time to bring out the sharpening kit? no? strange..

Heh heh heh...the reason I defend Ernie's Knives so much is because I know all too well what I can do with one because of that Second Commander...in a way, it is what makes the others so viable...

OK I made a decision! My favorite is my 98 Carry Commander that has been redone by Bandit Knives.

Ark, the blade stock is real thin, but it's meant as a light, last ditch hide out. The blade is about 1.5mm.
