It's only a mistake if you fail to learn from it!
 
Balance of pictures up: ES1M with CQC8; two fancy, pre-tactical folders; and CQC6 w/ Mother of Pearl handles and Devin Thomas Spirograph blade.

Jackstraw;

Finest collection I've ever seen. Congratulations! How old are the two fancy pre-tacticals? Thanks.
 
Man, you've got alot of nice stuff, especially that CQC5 that you've got there

Nice collection, I can appreciate what it took to get it. The viper 1 you have is the first Viper I have seen that I would really like.

That's an impressive collection of Emerson's. Not only a lot of money invested but I am quite sure a considerable amount of time to amass these class knives.
Thanks for Sharing your pics.

Jackstraw,
VERY VERY NICE!!! (Drool, Drool)

But now I am left with a question> Being that most of us have never handled all those knives, which one do you like the best? Which one stands out for its craftsmanship and execution?

Too bad their isn't something like an "Emerson" exhibit at Bladeshow where we can all fondle each piece to see for ourselves...

Thanks for posting the pics!

Hey Al,
My favorites are the fancy pre-tacticals. The pictures don't begin to do them justice. The bolsters and liners are beautifully anodized. The workmanship is something else altogether. Makes one wonder why he forsook that path entirely. They are unlike the work of any other custom maker...definitely Emerson but with a gonzo difference. Big blades, big handles. Really first rate.

Of the tacticals...I guess that my favorites are in order: the mother of pearl, Devon Thomas, Spirograph Damascus CQC6, the Viper 3, and then a tie between the Viper 1 and the CQC 5. The Viper 3 is a baaaaad piece and the Viper 1 and CQC5 are really elegant first cousins of each other. The MOP 6 speaks for itself.

But now I feel guilty because I really love them all.

Great Collection Jackstraw. Man I knew I should have bought at least one of the pretacticals last year. They were only $500.
Thanks for the pics!

The pre-tacticals were on Triple Aught's website last year. I wasn't smart enough to buy them then either and wound up paying handsomely to acquire them next time around.
