Commander Stonewash/BlackG10

Really love the knife. Came super sharp. Absolutely love the blade shape and the wave feature works great. I did not love the scales however. Too grippy and kind of uncomfortable for me. Picked up a set of carbon fiber scales and now the knife is perfect for me. Highly recommend the Commander.

I love Emerson knives. Finally broke down bought another. Have one of first CQC-8’s serial number 0081 but the clip screws failed and I stopped carrying it everyday. Would like to get that fixed but i love this new commander! Im carrying it everyday again! I use this knife at work daily. Holds an edge better than any others that I’ve carried everyday! Would recommend

Perfect in every way!

From everyday carry to a multi-use blade for just about anything, you can’t go wrong with a Commander

Quality Tool

Knives became a passion fairly recently although I've had several nice ones for many years. I started chipping away - a couple CRKs, a couple Hinderers, Olamic Wayfarer, other cool stuff...all amazing knives. In some cases, maybe too amazing. When a knife's craftsmanship and aesthetic beauty are its principal features, that is fine for its own sake if it gives you pleasure but unless you're one of those people who doesn't care (I'm not), then you may be reluctant to really hammer than knife with hard use. In comes the Emerson Commander! This knife is not pretty - it is a tool, and it does the job it's designed to do very well.

A few minor observations for someone interested in a Commander, from someone who didn't have prior experience with them:

1. G-10 scales are quite rough - especially going in the direction of into your pocket. It's like sandpaper. If the fabric of your pants/shorts is on the soft side, very realistic chance this knife will make mincemeat of it fairly quickly. Insane grip, but at a price potentially. It's abrasive!
2. Lock stick - I noticed this quite severely, unusually so relative to mid- to high-end production models from other brands as referenced above. Clearly worse when "snapping" the blade open, but varying degrees of it all the time. Pencil lead (graphite) seemed to really help, but for how long until reapplication is necessary is an open question at this point.
3. Blade came fairly un-centered, but a simple pivot **** adjustment fixed that.
4. The Wave feature is legit. While it takes a bit of practice to really nail it consistently you can indeed pull the knife and deploy in one fluid motion. Very satisfying when you nail it, and I'd hate to be on the business end of that thing in a split second as an unfortunate adversary!

Lastly - after-sale support is exceptional. You get a prompt, friendly, thorough, unpatronizing response however ignorant your question may be - which is rare these days. They help you after the sale is done, and are happy to have you send the knife in if their troubleshooting feedback doesn't solve your issue. A nice company to deal with, and that goes a long way.

So I have a few "fancy" knives...but the one I find in my pocket most days is the Commander. Sturdy, tough, and built to be used not babied.

Awesome blade

This is my first Emerson knife, I have a pretty extensive collection of beautiful knives and some that I just have to collect and some to actually carry so when I saw the Commander and it’s beautiful recurve blade in the thunderstorm blade finish I had to have it and as a retired law enforcement officer I also wanted it in the “Blue Line” edition. The BL addition just sets the knife off enough to make it a bit different but pays homage to the profession. I have to say the knife is built well and you can feel the quality in the material used. It’s a good quality knife that has beautiful design qualities for an everyday carry that looks like it will last many years. I also have to comment on the customer service I received when there was an error in my order when I received it, Emerson addressed my issue immediately and couldn’t have provided any better service than they did, totally recommend Emerson.
