The GW wood handles are the last we have so extremely limited.
The Emerson Knife Company has a long history of patriotism and support for the ideals of liberty, freedom, and independence. In fact, the company's founder can trace his roots directly back to Isa Emerson, a Massachusetts Minuteman who fought the British at the Battle of Lexington and Concord on April 19th, 1775. Isa enlisted under the command of Captain John Minott’s and fought bravely for American independence until the surrender of General Cornwallis at Yorktown on October 19th, 1781.
The Colonist’s victory in that first battle gave hope and cause to the American Colonists, who realized that they could defy and actually prevail against the dominance of what was then, the mightiest empire on earth - Great Britain. Using that realization as inspiration, the colonists came together to sign "The Declaration of Independence" on July 4th, 1776, a document forever declaring separation from an imperial power and creating the Federal Republic of the United States of America.
So, as you see, our roots run deep and that is why we are known as "America's Knife Company."
To memorialize our "great" Grandfather Isa, we are introducing the "1776" knife. And to top it off, we are building the first 50 of them, celebrating our 50 states, using oak from the George Washington tree. This oak comes from a tree that was growing on George Washington's original Potomac River farm and was alive and growing over 250 years ago at the beginning of this country's noble history.
With a secure, comfortable handle shape, and a historic vintage blade shape, this is a knife I wish I could travel back in time to give to my ancestor, Isa.
Blade Length 3.7 in. | Blade Material: Magnacut | Overall Length: 8.5 in.
