For me, a great EDC. Has had some substantial pocket time since recent purchase. Very familiar with the excellent Commander geometry. My super is a top 5 EKI in my harem. My micro is a great watch pocket backup carry. This mini slots perfectly in between the two. Big enough to be effective for most things without being a pocket hog.

I bought my first Emerson knife about a month ago and it was quite a knives tale that has motivated me to write a legit non-bootlicking review of what I genuinely think of my mini commander and the process of getting there for myself. I "discovered" Emersons working as a wilderness guide in North Carolina. Being a huge knife guy myself I was surprised id never heard of y'all before. So I endeavored to get me one mini commander after a considerable amount of research and thought went into my purchase. I've been a huge benchmade man for years, and this is my first non benchmade knife I've bought in a hot minute and I've broken all but one of them. so as one could imagine I was totally pining for this knife to arrive. it took me so damn long to get the scratch together, but scraped it up I did. when that tracking number finally arrived home I was elated and almost giddy with anticipation. opening the box I felt like a kid on Christmas morning, seriously man. However, much to my chagrin when I opened the box and placed that blade in my hand, immediately all the joy in the world was sucked out of my soul. I discovered that my knife was sent halfway put together and I'm serious when I say the blade play was so loose the damn screws would fall out if this knife had landed in a less capable set of hands. I don't know maybe they are purposefully shipped that way on purpose I have no idea, if it wasn't supposed to arrive like a wet towel I would advise perhaps having someone take a looksy at the product before shipping it across the country for quality control purposes. once I touched the knife I was instantly furious with myself for wasting that much money on a halfway put together blade. I no kidding listed that knife on eBay not 20 minutes after opening the box. well about a day and a half went by before my curiosity got the better of me and I just tore down the knife to all its components and had myself a lookey loo. I scoured every single mm of that knife with precision level judgement and attentiveness. I soon discovered that the craftsmanship was not just unique, but very practical in its intended function. I also appreciate the fact that y'all don't use loc tight or didn't on mine. I seriosuly appreciate that man I have always voided probably every knife warranty I've ever had due to making the factory knife my knife by customizing the look and feel to my own needs and functionality, but y'all don't seem to mind, which rocks. think I'm kidding, try and buy a pivot **** from benchmade and I promise you it will frustrate the daylights out of you, as well as void your warranty with them evidently. as my frustration dissipated my admiration grew exponentially. All told over a a good 4 hours of tinkering and customizing to my personal satisfaction out on my porch I found the holy sweet spot of folding knives. zero blade play, which I absolutely loath in quality knives. dead nuts serious that first impression of picking up a 200 dollar plus knife only to find the blade is as loose as a 13 dollar gas station karambit. well it felt like walking in on Santa clause committing suicide in my living room on Christmas morning. seriously it sucked, imagine shaking hands with someone and getting that cold slimy limp wrist shake back. that's how my knife felt at first. nevertheless once I made the proper adjustments and made that mini commander my mini commander all was getting back to right. yet I still hadn't cut anything yet. now I must first quantify that I, until august have lived an incredibly rough, active, lifestyle and I've broken god knows how many "hard use" knives of every variety and price over the years. so I was quite skeptical of how the mini commander would perform in my hands, and my hands are hard, rough, and very skillful with a blade. I worked as a wilderness guide these past three years and by that I mean that there have been numerous times that if I hadn't had the skills I possess with a blade in tow, I, along with my clients would not have had a fire or hot food on many cold winter nights for 16 days a month out in the field, I've quite literally kept myself and a group of eight warm and fed solely because I had a knife that could perform under the most adverse weather conditions the blue ridge mountains can throw at you. so yes the efficacy of the knife needs to work, not just look pretty but function in high stress situations. now of course I'm a lowly graduate student who isn't half as hard on my knives as I've been in previous occupations. my hands are still quite rough, which is where I will unequivocally say the g10 handles grip is straight up phenomenal. if you have rough hands these handles are going to feel so good man. I can sort of understand the complaints I've read, but, well **** them, they don't have hands that could rub the chrome off a trailer hitch. . I could literally sand off the tips of my callouses with the handle, which of course I did. that amused me to no end. so once my h...

I have carried this knife every day for 15 years on duty and off. I am a police officer and I have used this knife for all kinds of things that it was not designed to be used for. It has held up incredibly well and taken everything that I have thrown at it without a hiccup. I will absolutely buy another one when this one is used up if that ever happens. Just buy it. You will not be dissapointed.

This is a great knife and best looking Emerson in my opinion. Also this is a great option over the regular sized commander for people with smaller sized hands
