SOLD on EBay "When I first started making knives, before "Tactical", I was making this pattern. I liked it then just as much as I like it now. This knife became the archetype from which all of my other designs have evolved . It is the "Father" of all my tactical designs. In fact it might be the "Grandfather" of all tactical knife designs that now exist. It's simple, it works, and it never gives up." Ernie Emerson From the Emerson Lottery; Blade 2008
