Hey guys Im asking for my first emerson on my 14th birthday. Im torn between the CQC8 SF (my long time favorite) or the CQC 15. The roadhouse and Journeyman are a little out of the price range. Im looking in the $185 dollar mark. Is there anything I missed and will the CQC8 ever be in stock?

Watched that movie, listed below, "Night of the Running Man" on Netflix last night just to see Ernie's custom CQC-6...lol!

The movie was standard 1995 fair...I gave it 3-out-of-5 stars. There were a lot of things done wrong by the lead character (Andrew McCarthy) and the Hitman (Scott Glenn)..I was yelling at the screen several times...lol!

But, it held my attention and I watch the whole flick. The CQC-6 and Scott Glenn stole the show!

Ernest Emerson
Interview by Mike Searson

How long have you been a knife-maker?
I made my first knife in 1979 so officially for 29 years.

Right, the Balisong knife, I remember the story from writing the Wikipedia entry…how long have you been a full-time custom maker?
The catalyst was cutting my thumb off! I was operated on and recovering, and I’m not one to sit around watching television, well. A movie producer called me and said Scott Glenn was interested in using one of my knives for a new movie called: Night of the Running Man. I told him he just cut my thumb off, but he wanted a Full Dress CQC6. So I got some white, thermo- plastic which was about 3/16" thick and made like a gauntlet running the whole length of my arm…to make a platform to hold the knife. While I was recuperating I thought, I could do this full time. So whenever that movie came out (1994) would be the time frame...

What’s your favorite shop music?
That’s what I love about grinding… I usually listen to the Rolling Stones, Little Feat, or anything Southern Rock.

Do you have a favorite sports car?
My ‘67 Camaro.

How about Movies?
There’s so many: Last of the Mohicans, Gladiator, Snatch, 300, I know you and I were just talking about these at Solvang!

Surviving the Deadly Attack

by Ernest Emerson

The Twelve Principles and Strategies That Will Save Your Life

Over the next 12 weeks I will be discussing 12 basic principles applied to the most intimate and deadly of all human interactions, Hand-to-Hand combat. These principles are distilled from decades of experience and thousands of analysis of deadly attacks. Out of all of this study, I began to see patterns and commonalities that manifest in both outcomes of these scenarios, those where the victim of the attack survived and those in which the attacker prevailed and severely injured or killed the victim.
