I missed something.....

edit

OK, maybe I see based from last post

its all good, she bought what she thought was a nice knife. and it was, just a third + tier one.

she's all good now she's actually seen and held a second tier quality piece

I refer to a full blown custom and top builder as the first tier

Besides, it took her shooting my 516 for her to accept and increase the budget for his first AR. I found a superb deal on an M&P during the panic

she has nothing to really bitch about Big Grin She's a great woman besides

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I'll post some pics of some of my Emersons when I get some free time.

Used to have an NSAR (the one reviewed earlier). Great knife. I've got a Suspect Super Six in my pocket, here at the office.

Have a few SIGs lying around the house. Took a SIG Mosquito to a buddy's to do some shooting last fall, and he fell in love. Hard. Now he has a friend who wants me to bring it back for another shooting weekend, as he wants to purchase one.

This seems like a great place.

You wouldn't happen to have a Rhino in your Collection, woodcha?

Also... USN typing question...Would someone please tell me how to drop a line of text down when typing in USN. I.E., I insert a URL with a Youtube Link and I want to skip a few lines before I start typing a description of the video. I hit "ENTER" and nothing happens...So I end up with what looks like a continuous string of text without paragraphs...

Yes, I also have a Rhino (Emerson). Amazing knife.

I can't help with the USN issue... I haven't had the same problem.

No GV for me. Have a business trip that will take me into the weekend, and the kids both start school that week, then I'm off to my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. Timing sucks. Frown

If you can...Would you mind telling us how you got a Rhino? They're as rare as Hens teeth...It's quite a big deal to own one.
August 13, 2013, 02:29 PM

It pays to have good friends. Smile

They are very rare birds. I feel very privileged to own this one!

Here's a photo of my Rhino alongside a custom G10 Emerson CQC-8... The Rhino is now sporting a special Steel Flame thumbdisk and custom clip.

For fun, here's one of my CQC-6s. This is another rare bird, one of perhaps six that has a bead blasted blade. She's an early threaded bolster CQC-6, and to make her even more interesting she has hex threaded pivot vs. the traditional slotted ones, and Phillips head hardware. Smile

One more for grins...

Some custom Emerson goodness. A few special ones in this photo, including a Half-moon Trivector.

Beautiful...You are so fortunate to have such a great collection. In the bottom photo...Could you name the knives...Besides the Rhino I think I see a HMMV-K? Another rare one...

Also...Is your USN sign on the same as here? I was going to send you a Friend Request.
August 13, 2013, 05:17 PM
Jiminpotomac
Sure!

From 12:00 clockwise:

Rhino
HMMV-K
CQC-6 (thread bolster, bead blast blade, special hardware)
Trivector (halfmoon, garage days, all bells & whistles) rwATR did a great YouTube review on it
Super CQC-6 (Suspect Six)
G10 CQC-8 (waved, old school details, zero grind)

And we're buddies on the USN already Wink

Now let's see some more Emersons!

Chronos?

I haven't bought any new Emerson's since I got 3 Karambits last month...Orange SK, Black SK, and a Combat Karambit.
