Emerson Knives, Inc is a company started by Ernest Emerson after his curiosity was piqued from one simple present given by his grandfather as an adolescent : his own personal knife. He was a martial artist who dealt with combat weaponry, and while practicing, needed a specific blade for the course. Through pure genius and under financial restraints, he thought he would create his own fixed blade knife.
His knife making abilities shocked fellow classmates and so they began making special orders. He distributed these first models without making a profit. Seeing the demand grow, he immediately increased the rate, but this didn’t lower interest in his handmade designs. Though it would be years before he began making blades for a living, he used that same pride in his work to become a success.
Before the Viper series was known, he had pre-tactical versions of his knives. All of these models were liner lock folding knives. Although liner lock knives are developed for portability and ease of use, the workmanship he put into his designs also made them visually appealing. Viewed at knife shows and recognized for their elegance, these knives provided him what he needed. He now had the cash to create versions he wanted, which included combat knives.
Emerson also practiced as a martial artist and realized that a fixed blade knife was used in combat training, although the same classmates favored folding knives in real world applications. He fixed this with the developtment of a solid folding knife used for combat training in the real world. He took his older models and modified the grip so that they were less fancy (not highly polished and colored) than others put on display. The tip was ground so that it would be wider. The specific function of a Viper knife was to satisfy a necessity among military and law enforcement.
Knives like the Commander are recommended by Navy Seals along with other elite groups within the military. Needlessly to say, the reliability of this knife has made it a favorite among countless outdoorsmen. Additional combat versions including the Kandahar and the CQC designs include a fixed blade and are presently in use by Afghani military. The Karambit, with its design, is unlike any others manufactured in the United States. With its small curved blade, it’s an excellent choice in up close combat.
Emerson knives also come in automatic or manual versions. You’ll want to watch out for limited edition and special runs if your are a enthusiast. Ask about knife shows in the area, and do not be reluctant to inquire about the specific use of the knife you are considering..
Emerson knives will sometimes take custom orders, there is however no guarantee. You can find plenty of designs for sale that custom made may not be necessary. Not everyone could afford his blades, but as times have changed, that same value comes in less costly versions to ensure that everyone can buy one.
