WHY AN EMERSON KNIFE?

It may mean many different things to many people, but Ill tell you what it means to me. An Emerson Knife is a tool with an edge on it, nothing more-nothing less. Ive never designed or built them to be anything else. But I did design and build them to be something you could use forever and maybe pass on to your grandson when hes old enough to carry a knife. Some people say; Its not pretty enough. Its not fancy enough. Its not highly finished. Those of you that have known us from the beginning, know that I never set out to build highly finished, fancy knives. I didnt set out to build a Rolex or a Mercedes Benz. I set out to build a Chevy. One that you could build, rebuild, beat, race and fix in your own garage. In that, I think Ive done a pretty good job. Ive built 3 houses and remodeled about a half dozen. I own a stanley hammer that was my Grandfathers. It built dozens of houses and dozens of barns that are still standing. Its driven 10s of thousands of nails and is good for 10s of thousands more. Its beat up. Its a little rusty and the leather handle is beat and cut. I do not care how it looks. I only care that it does its job and does it well. I will give it to my son when he decides to build his own house. I own a 1967 Chevy Camaro with a 350 engine that Ill give to him when he earns it. Ill also give him my knives. If you want a highly polished, pretty folding knife (made in China) then you are looking at the wrong catalog. Emerson Knives are not for you. If you want the best designed hard-use folding knife in the world, designed and built by the worlds premier knifemaker and his company, then youve got the right catalog. I build them for work, not for looks. Emerson Knives are made 100% in America of American Materials by American Workers and owned and run by a true American Craftsman. What is an Emerson Knife? Heres what separates us from them. The thing that makes us the most different from any other company out there is that when you put an Emerson Knife in your pocket, youve got Ernest Emerson covering your back.

GENTLEMAN JIM

New!

TM

SPECS:
Overall Length: 9.0 in. Blade Length: 3.8 in.

There was a time not so long ago when a name or title such as Journeyman had weight and value. To some, those names still mean something. I came up through the apprentice system, and they mean a lot to me.
A Journeyman was the real worker, the dirty job guy, the one who took on the hardest jobs. And he had to do them well. The title Journeyman was earned by hard work, grime, sweat, and bloody knuckles. It was a title of pride and worn with honor by those who earned and deserved it. The Journeyman knife is a straight forward, working mans knife and is truly worthy of that title. A perfect combination of razor sharp efficiency coupled with Emerson Ergonomics, this knife just begs to tackle any job you throw in its way.

SPECS:
Overall Length: 8.55 in. Blade Length: 3.75 in.

Picture riverboats and gamblers. Picture fine whiskey and pretty ladies. The Gentleman Jim would be right at home. This is a finely refined folding dagger with a serious case of Bad Intent. Slim, Sleek, and Deadly Serious are the words that perfectly describe the Gentleman Jim folder.

ROADHOUSE
The more that I handle this knife, the more Im thinking this is one of my best designs. Just like a chopped Harley, this knife is low slung and ready to roar. It feels like youve just dropped the clutch and its trying to jump out of your hand. And just like a Harley, youve got to have a Rock n Roll, Outlaws soul to carry a Roadhouse. If a chopper could be a knife it would be the Roadhouse. This is a bad to the bone fighter with a Rebels soul and a Rock n Roll attitude that cannot be tamed. Pick it up and you can just about smell the Whiskey. This knife is destined to be an Emerson classic.

When it comes to Tactical Folder Makers, none have moved the earth like Ernest Emerson

Think Whiskey, think Choppers, think Rock n Roll and youll know what the Roadhouse is all about, and the moment you pick it up, youll know why it lives up to its name.

CQC-7
with and w/o wave shaped feature Overall Length: 8 in. Blade Length: 3.3 in. Can a knife have a personality? Can it represent a feeling? Some say no. I say just pick up a Gypsy Jack. The Gypsies have been around for a long, long time and theyve been the inspiration for countless novels and songs for generations. Theyve come to represent the feeling of being a free spirit, beholdin to none. And the Gypsies, good, bad, or indifferent have always been quick with a knife. Just like Van Morrison said, I want to rock your Gypsy soul just like way back in the days of old. See for yourself. The Gypsy Jack just might be your knife.

CQC-7V

TM

SUPER CQC-7
with wave shaped feature Overall Length: 9.15 in. Blade Length: 3.78 in.

The CQC-7V is a double V-ground version of the infamous Emerson CQC-7B knife known the world over. This beauty features striking, coarse, tan G-10 handles holding a dramatic stone-washed CQC-7 blade that is precisely ground on both sides, front and back, giving you a razor sharp cutting machine. If youve ever thought about getting a CQC-7 but hesitated because of the chisel grind, then your wait is over.

The Emerson CQC-7 is the most influential knife of the last 10 years and will go down in history as the most influential Tactical Knife of all time. This is the tactical knife that set the standards and changed the face of knifemaking forever. There is no one who can challenge that. Now available in five variations, there is a CQC-7 designed to fulfill any requirements that you may have. From large to small to the extra heavy-duty HD-7, you should never be without one whether you are taking your family to the movies or kicking down a door in Iraq. The CQC-7 has been places not found on any road map - places known only to the select few who have known the heat, sweat, and chaos of conflict. It is there now and it will be there again whenever called to action. Simply called The Seven by most operators, they are on duty in the halls of The Pentagon and corridors of The White House as well as the caves of Afghanistan.

Symmetry, Grace, and Power. These three words describe the Emerson Model A100 knife perfectly. When I first started making knives, before Tactical, I was making this pattern. I liked it then just as much as I like it now. This knife became the archetype from which all of my other designs have evolved . It is the Father of all my tactical designs. In fact it might be the Grandfather of all tactical knife designs that now exist. Its simple, it works, and it never gives up. See for yourself. Now available in standard and mini sizes.

The CQC-10 represents what Ive always described as a straightforward, go ahead design. It feels great in the hand and features a brutish spear point blade profile. This knife gained fame as the official, Real knife of H&K and is now in the hands of operators all over the globe. Emerson Knives now offers the CQC10 directly. The only feature that has changed is the logo. This knife represents a great choice for both military and Law because of its true utilitarian design. A great blade coupled with legendary Emerson ergonomics results in a knife that will perform - no matter what the task.

UBR COMMANDER
Overall Length: 10.5 in. Blade Length: 4.4 in. The Commander. Sometimes a piece of gear has everything you need. Its just right. The Emerson Commander is as near to perfection as you can get. The Commander is the first knife to feature the Emerson wave shaped feature and has since been known as the fastest deploying knife in the world. There are very few knives in the world that receive the attention that the Commander demands when an operator pulls one out of his pocket. Seemingly open when it comes out of the pocket, the knife definitely commands respect. Commanders, both mini and full-sized, are in action in every theater of combat in the World. They are recognized by soldiers around the globe as one of the best Combat Folding Knives ever developed.

SPECS
Overall Length: 8.2in. Blade Length: 3.5 in.

The Karambit is one of those knives that once you pick it up, you just cant put it down. Based on an ancient Indonesian design, the Karambit is lightening quick, powerful, and efficient. The capabilities of the knife, which have been proven in combat over centuries, become strikingly evident once you have one in your hand. Used in either a forward or reverse grip, the ergonomic handle with its large finger hole provides the ultimate in secure grip and weapon retention. This knife is truly deceptive and in the hands of a skilled user quite amazing.

I developed the Search and Rescue Knife (SARK) at the specific request of the United States Navy for a waterborne rescue knife that would perform safely and efficiently under emergency conditions. You can now see clones of this design in many other knife companies catalogs and with good reason. The SARK is just about the best rescue knife ever developed. Its safe, strong, and its an Emerson. As the knife gained notoriety, Police departments began requesting that we provide the design with a point rather than the safety tip for patrol officers. As a result there is both the original SARK and the Police SARK (P-SARK). In both configurations, it is a wonderful rescue tool and has been used successfully in many, many rescue and life saving operations. If your job is saving lives, then get the knife that was designed just for you.

MINI CQC-15
Overall Length: 8.9 in. Blade Length: 3.9 in.

Ive always loved Bowie Knives. I made a Bowie style folder about 25 years ago in my Garage days. I probably made only about 4 or 5 custom versions back then, but the design of that knife has always remained one of my personal favorites. Well, I finally resurrected the design and, with a few minor changes, it became the CQC-13. Pick one up and you will know why I have always loved this knife. The heavily contoured grip locks into your hand like it was custom made just for you. And the blade - oh the blade - Hell, its a big, bad American Bowie. Need I say more? The Bowie knife was a dominant force in Americas history. Tough, rugged and independent, the Emerson Combat Bowie definitely lives up to that legacy.

The CQC-15 and its new little buddy, the Mini-CQC-15 are one helluva couple. Featuring the piercing point of the CQC-7 and the graceful cutting efficiency of the Commander - this is what you get with the CQC-15. This knife with a comfortable, secure, ergonomic handle gives you the best of both worlds. The CQC-15 is truly one serious knife. It features a tanto/recurve blade combo that suits its use in any environment, from the board room to the deployment staging area. This knife has already hit the streets of Baghdad and has been moving quick and quiet. The CQC-15 is a sturdy, aggressive knife that will definitely get you out of a jam if you ever need it.

LA GRIFFE
THE CLAW
The La Griffe is a design from Frederic Perrin, the well-known European knife maker and combatives trainer. The Griffe is the ultimate back-up weapon, and is carried by many police and military personnel as their last chance backup piece. The unique design allows you to secure the knife in your hand by inserting your finger through the handle. It will not be dislodged from your hand in either the forward or reverse grip. This is another Emerson Knife that has proved to be so successful that several other knife companies have copied the design. Get the original, not a cheap, foreignmade copy.

CQC-14

SNUBBY

TM

This is the legal carry knife youve been waiting for. We now make a knife you can legally carry (in most areas) yet still pack a heavyweight punch. The blade is under 3 inches long -- way under. So now, no one can argue whether its legal or not. Yes, it has a full size handle, so you know youve got a real knife in your hand. As Ive said before, this is the ultimate pocket protector.

Emersons have been my silent partners for the last 5 years.

The CQC-8 model has long been considered one of the best combat designs that I have ever produced. I agree. The ergonomics and blade design have merged in the knife to form the perfect union. Perfectly balanced in both a forward and reverse grip, the CQC-8 is a battle-hardened veteran that you want at your side. Now in three sizes, the CQC-8 has evolved to meet the demands of those who need a knife that will protect and serve; ranch, range, or battlefield - anytime - anyplace.

HARD WEAR KNIVES

TM

Our knife customers really liked the Emerson Hard Wear Knives. We really liked them too. So, I decided to bring them back as Emerson Inc., USA made production knives. And now they have Waves. They are available in both serrated and plain edge versions. They now feature G-10 handles and locking liners like all our other knives

POLICE UTILITY KNIFE

TM

PUK

Everybody makes a fixed blade police knife. Everybody makes a great big Bowie-style knife for police. That is not what they need. The Emerson Police Utility Knife was developed as a result of years of working hand-in-hand or, I should say, Hand-to-Hand with hundreds of police officers. I found that the knife the officers really needed was not a great big wall hanger, but rather a fixed blade knife that was compact and stout, something they could use and actually carry. They wanted a fixed blade that was about the same size as an opened folding knife, with a secure handle and sharp, stiff blade. The Emerson Police Utility Knife is the result of the experience that no other knife company can bring to the table.

The Emerson wave shaped feature, also called the remote pocket opener, is the most dynamic and advanced feature ever designed for folding knives. This device allows you to open the knife literally, as it is removed from the pocket. This makes any Emerson Knife with the wave shaped feature the fastest deploying folding knife in the world. Faster than an automatic, your knife is open as it comes up into your hand-ready for use. The Emerson wave shaped feature is now officially required on all the knives we supply to the Military Combat units, Military search and Rescue units and Law Enforcement agencies.
