THE EMERSON FAMILY KNIVES
A New Chapter in the Emerson Legacy
From the Desk of Ernest Emerson
For over 40 years, I've had the honor—and the absolute hell-raising joy—of designing knives that have served warriors, first responders, and hard-use patriots around the globe. Every grind, every angle, every design I've put out into the world carried a piece of me. Emerson Knives was never just a company. It was my mission.
But missions evolve.
And now, it's time for me to share something deeply personal with all of you—our loyal Emerson family.
The Emerson legacy is no longer just mine to carry. My wife, Mary, has stepped into the design room—not just as a voice of reason (as she always has been), but now as a creator in her own right. Her designs are as refined and fierce as the woman behind them. Where my knives roar, hers cut with precision and elegance—but make no mistake, they're built to fight.
My daughters, Megan and Rachael, have grown up with the sound of grinding belts and steel on stone. They know this life. And now, they're stepping out from behind the scenes and forging blades born of their own vision. They bring fresh eyes, fresh blood, and the same unwavering Emerson toughness to the table. You’ll see it in their work—and feel it in your hands.
And as many of you already know, Lucas—my son—has been forging his own path for years now. He’s been quietly designing, testing, and refining blades that stand shoulder to shoulder with the best we've ever built. His knives carry our DNA—but his edge. That boy knows steel. He knows design. And more importantly, he knows the Emerson way.
This isn't just a changing of the guard. It's an expansion of the tribe.
Emerson Knives has always been about legacy, about warriors, about those who do—and now that legacy is being carried forward by the people who’ve lived it alongside me from the start.
Welcome to the next generation of Emerson Knives.
Same blood. Same grit. Same fight.
