I am wondering what companies make thumb disks for emersons? I check the exchange but never see any.

I see the bullet ones and the monster titanium disks. I was just wondering how many companies make these and where can I get them?

A few pics of various custom thumbdisks would hurt either :)


This is the only site I know of and at $30. for a monster disk I thought was a bit steep.

I recently bought a Sterling Silver .45 Thumbdisk from a guy on Instagram, he has an ebay but really dont want to put the link up there. Pics to follow. Ill tell ya his name in a sec. $30 is a bit steep but he's the only one who does custom disks on a production level. I paid $40 shipped for my SS Disk.
 
Pete Gray does normal sized ones to for about $20.00 I believe as well I have a normal sized one right now.

inkedbylife on IG and he goes by tattoocollector85 on the bay.

This one was $44 shipped.
 
Another guy on IG thelionhearted_86 has been doing some nice work on Emerson knives and I think he does thumb disks. I have no idea what they might cost. I've been seriously thinking about having him do some work on my Roadhouse.

I contacted him and he only does sterling silver disks. Which are even more expensive.

I just wanted plain ol bullet dish from an actual bullet.

I have plenty of bullets in all calibers like .45 and 9mm. Are they difficult to make into a thumbdisk? The primer hole is already there. It seems like all you have to do is cut and sand it smooth. hardly worth the prices I am seeing.
 
Pete Grey makes great stuff, and the monster one is more expensive because its bigger. His normal ones are $15-20...and well worth it. There's also Steel Flame .45 cal disks...but those are pretty steep. Blinging out your Emerson can cost as much or more as the knife itself!
 
Check out Bullet Beadz here on the forum, also on IG and on the bay. He does them per request and they look good too! Don't know price wise, best to give him a holler.
 
Bulletbeadz and Pete Grey are both good guys, and don't forget the one that really got it all started and that Emerson sells, SteelFlame...
 
Ariel Salaverria (who is a forum member here I believe) makes some really unique damascus thumb disks, among other nice things. I don't own one personally but his work looks awesome!

Emerson thumb disks are at the bottom:

Have you seen the custom Emersons he's done? there are pics on his site. I've seen a CQC-8, Horseman, and 2 different Persians that's he's customized. Holy crap.

There is that "IG" again. What does that stand for?
 
Steel Flame makes a lot of stuff to dress up your Emerson. They have them on the Emerson site too.
 
Yes that is a Steel Flame clip. Many vendors sell Steel Flame, I bought this one second hand on the USN. This one is called the Crusader cross. I also have one on my hinderer.
