The Mini CQC-15 fits me the best, but the ergonomics of the SOCFK follow closely behind despite the fact that it's a full size handle. The Karambit is in third place but only because the finger hole spreads my pinkie and ring finger a little further apart. The Karambit comes tapped on both sides from the factory.

As a note, I got my Karambit from osograndeknives.com for $213 shipped after using their Father's Day coupon. Last time I looked, they had more in stock.

To me that's a difficult website to navigate. I did get where I wanted to look, but ended up being a dry well right now. I don't mind it being dry, but it was tough to figure out, and it isn't like I'm not on the internet a lot

They are now for sale!

I know you like your privacy Czech, but I have ordered one for you. So, it is up to you. My email is in my profile. If you are OK giving me an address I'll get it up to you. If you'd rather not, then I understand and don't sweat it, but I'd order soon.

EDIT: You might like to see the birthday cake pic on the site!

The Emerson FB page says that they will soon reenact the "Golden Ace" event as described on Page 10 of this Thread and reposted here. I don't know what the prizes will be, but the previous giveaway was the CQC-45 Prototype below (And I WILL be ordering some cards)... :

quote:

And we have one deck, a very special deck that contains a very special card, “The Golden Ace”. This card is a Titanium Ace of Spades that is polished and anodized to a very special Gold color. In the spirit of Willie Wonka, the lucky person who buys the deck that has the Golden Ace wins an Emerson Grand Prize. The grand prize will be a hand-ground prototype full checkered CQC-45 Knife and a whole bunch of Emerson Swag and goodies that we'll be adding to as we go along. The prototype knife alone is worth $1,000.00.

Someone out there is going to be a very lucky card player and is going to take home a very sweet pot. If you are the one to get the deck with the Golden Ace, just get us a picture of you, the ace and the special code on the back of the card and all the prizes will be yours. Who will get the golden Ace? Who will it be?
Good Luck,
Ernest R. Emerson

OK...coupla things.

1. I just got off the phone with Emersons...And changed my order to two Challenge Coins and one NICE Card Deck with case signed by Ernie.

2. Here's a little issue on the new website...I pointed out to them that when you go to buy a deck of cards, there is no 'Select Options' tab to order the nicer card deck in the case signed by Ernie. They said they'll fix that...but if you want 'em you need to call for now...

That's the one I thought Mr. Emerson might have made for Keith Richards of the Stones. I emailed them asking about it, but no answer yet. Pretty sure they're maxed out getting ready for the Blade Show and the Virtual Knife Show back to back...It is damned good looking...He does a great job with Micarta...
