Its chestnut wood handle, known for its durability and rich character, speaks to the strength and resilience of the American people. Chestnut, once abundant in American forests, was the backbone of early America. Chestnut trees flourished across Eastern North American and was the foremost lumber used for barns and homes in colonial America. It is a wood that has endured the tests of time and hardship — much like the spirit of liberty itself. The American chestnut tree once so abundant was driven to functional extinction by the Chinese Chestnut Blight in the early 1900’s and chestnut trees which once stood 100 feet tall and numbered in the billions, no longer grow in our forests.  All American chestnut wood is now only available as reclaimed lumber from those early pioneer barns and houses.  The Liberty is a knife that honors the principles of freedom, equality, and democracy that are at the heart of this nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its handcrafted chestnut handle and razor-sharp blade, the Liberty from Emerson Knives is not just a piece of fine craftsmanship, but a statement of pride and patriotism. As part of the American Freedom Series, it represents the continued pursuit of liberty and the unwavering belief in the power of the people. This knife is a reminder that the quest for freedom is not just a part of our past, but something that endures and evolves — a legacy to be celebrated during the 250th anniversary of American independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustom = handground\/handmade by Ernest Emerson, polished liners, starfighter thumb button, thick titanium liners .093 both spring and flat, Serial # 1-10, Unique Liberty \u0026amp; Freedom Flag Engraving on Front of blade, Emerson Specwar logo on back\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction = factory built, factory finishes, standard thumb button, standard .062 titanium liners, Serial # 11+ Liberty \u0026amp; Freedom factory engraving on front of blade, factory logo on back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall Length: 9.2 in.\u003cbr\u003eBlade Length: 3.9 in.\u003cbr\u003eBlade Thickness: .125 in.\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 5.8 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardness: RC 57-59\u003cbr\u003eHandle: G-10, Chestnut\u003cbr\u003eBlade: 154 CM\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Stone Washed\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emerson Knives, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Super Custom","offer_id":48757764063447,"sku":"KNF-LF-SC-LBRTY-WH-SF","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Wood Handle Production","offer_id":48757764096215,"sku":"KNF-LF-LBRTY-WH-SF","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"G-10 Flag Handle Production","offer_id":48757764128983,"sku":"KNF-LF-LBRTY-G10-SF","price":317.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/5551\/2535\/files\/LibertyCustomandProductionGroup.webp?v=1781132378","url":"https:\/\/www.emersonknives.com\/products\/the-liberty-freedom-liberty","provider":"Emerson Knives, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
