Until further notice, all Emerson knives will be sold directly through Emerson. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Years ago the Emerson Commander series was winner of the "Best Overall Knife of the Year" at the Blade Show in Atlanta, GA. The Emerson Commander series is a 21st century combination of design, materials, performance, and razor sharpness. This knife along with other Emerson Knives, sets the new standard for the cutlery industry and continues to push the design and performance envelope for cutting tools well into the 21st century.
The Commander knife has all the great features you love including a strong titanium liner lock and textured black G-10 handle scales. Emerson's patented "Wave Shaped Opening Feature" allows you to open the knife one-handed as it is withdrawn from your pocket. Black clip is included for tip-up carry.
The Commander BT knife has a black finished 154 CM blade with a V grind and a plain cutting edge. Information from Emerson Knives
This is definitely a large tactical knife. This knife isn't flashy, but it's more function over form. The wave feature is definitely fun to play with, but also a very handy feature. Some people gripe about the chisel grind, but you can always get a professional to reprofile the edge as a V grind. One thing to keep in mind is I've found that sometimes while horse playing / wrestling the wave feature can snag on someone else's clothes and open the knife. Definitely not a knife to keep in your pocket while playing with kids. Build quality: 5 stars Materials: 4 stars Aesthetics: 3 stars Personal likability: 5 stars
