New "Vintage" Commander

For those of you who love the "98" Commanders, I have something very special for you.

This is the 10th year anniversary of the Commander winning the Knife of the Year at the 1998 BLADE Show. So, we are reissuing a vintage, retro version of the original Commander model. The knife features double .062 thick titanium liners. The handles are .125 thick, with original screw placement and radiused (not chamfered) edges. The blade has the distinctive Commander swedges on the top of the blade. The only difference is that I have left the swedges exposed (natural steel finish) so that no one would potentially confuse them with an actual 1998 Commander. These have the look, the feel and the heft of the original Commanders and is one helluva knife. These are an extremely limited run, so place your order immediately as these are absolutely sure to go fast.

Price is $375.00

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the official Emerson Knives Collectors website. It is the home of the Emerson Collectors Association and will be the official informational site for Emerson Knives concerning custom knives, production knives, and all things related to Emerson Knives in general.

Membership $40.00 (includes free ECA T-Shirt)

 

Membership Benefits

Once you become an official member your benefits will include:

  1. An Emerson Certificate with your official membership number entitling you to
    "special" consideration, along with the official ECA T-Shirt.
  2. A 15% off coupon for any Emerson Knife in the Emerson production line catalog.
    This does not include custom knives, custom production knives, Collector Editions,
    special editions, or any non-standard catalog features. Coupon is good for 6
    months from membership signup date and one time use only.
  3. Advanced notification (before the general public) on pending introductions and sale of
    new models, unique items or rare finds such as low serial numbers, or even rare
    discoveries such as we had when we found the "98" Commanders.
  4. First choices of low serial numbers on any new production models that come out
    from Emerson Knives, Inc. and first choices on limited production runs of new or
    experimental models that we are prototyping.
  5. Your chance to own one of the official collector's knife of the year models.

In addition to these benefits, we intend this web site to become an online library of information about Emerson Knives both historical and anecdotal. We would like to publish stories, pictures of collections, pictures of unique items, and anything else that may be of interest to the collector's group.

We would like to ask you to submit articles, stories, myths, legends and photos of your private collections, including personal photos, if you would like.

We intend this to be a very active and interactive web site and are considering letting collectors post notices and photos and knives that they may be offering for sale.

This site is brand new and bare bones but is bound to grow along with the Association. I do not know exactly where it is headed yet and I would like you all to know that we will always try to reflect your wants and needs. Please always feel free to contact us with comments, critiques, and suggestions to build a better site for you.

Thank You,

Ernest R. Emerson
