sam308Emerson knives
Hi guys, I'm looking for a new knife to replace a lost Benchmade. I had an Emerson about 15 years ago that was a great knife, but lost it somewhere in Bosnia. What I need to know is are Emersons still as good as they used to be?

The MetalsmithYes Emerson knives are still every bit as good as they used to be. I've carried a full length commander with me every day for over a year now, everywhere from work, to hunting, to using it as a boat knife back in Alaska. It's tough, simple and handles great. I collect benchmade knives and own quite a few, but the emerson gets used typically more than any other knife. I'd highly recommend them! Plus they sink into your hand much better for some reason. I had to cut the hell out of a halibut to remove a hook that sunk through it's jaw, and the Emerson didn't slip despite having that 120lb creature thrashing around!
