Posted this earlier on the WSA board, but since collecting is the subject and this is one heck of a collection, I wanted to post it here for you to look through.

Oh yeah, nice variety in his collection! I like that custom Emerson with MOP and damascus. sweet!

Dexter,

Can you believe he's letting that thing go? I think it's sold, in fact.

Alex - in a way yes, in a way no am I suprised/not surprised. Ever since Ernie Emerson started his company, we have been seeing less and less customs from him. And the dressed up ones are probably hard to come by now.

Last April I was in Los Angeles visiting relatives and I figured it was a good time for me to cash in on Ernie's invitation for me to visit the plant and I spent the day at their facility. One of the highlights of the visit was sitting in Ernie's office as he pulled out knife after knife, a lot of his custom stuff. There were CQC6's in damascus and abolone, as well as his early custom stuff. Oh man, I wish I could have taken one of those dressed up 6's home with me :)

Man Alex...You rule doing those sites.....heavily thinking of having you doing mine too!

But...cash is seldom seen around here...
