Emerson Sheepdog Prototype

[Kirk Freeman]

It's reportedly just a prototype so let's not get too excited. Even if you did get excited all anyone would say is, "I like that knife but I want the blade ________ (longer, shorter, different shape, different color, different metal, all of the above)."

A new knife from Emerson:

Still not a framelock

Do want. Would buy immediately.

So, it's a CQC-13 blade with a flipper in a modified CQC-7 handle? Still a 154CM blade liner lock for more money than other manufacturers charge for similar knives with better steel and stronger locks. The assertion in the linked article that Emerson experiments is hilarious: They make liner lock folders out of one handle material and one blade steel. If one wants to see experimentation and innovation in the knife industry he or she should look at Spyderco's Mule Team fixed blades, their sprint runs, and their extensive standard lineup.
