This video provides a brief history of the Wave system used on Emerson knives, specifically referencing its presence on the Emerson Commander model. The creator mentions carrying an Emerson Commander with the Wave feature as their everyday carry (EDC) knife and having the opportunity to see an original at the NRA Show in 2012. The video also includes a call to action to support the creator on Patreon and promotes another video about a BCM Mk12 rifle.

Ernest Emerson discusses his design philosophy at SHOT Show 2012, emphasizing practicality and combat effectiveness. He details the origins of the 'Wave' feature, the rationale behind his steel choices (154CM at 57-59 HRC for toughness), and the functional advantages of blade geometry like the 'belly' for deeper cuts. Emerson highlights specific models like the CQC-8, Commander, and Persian, linking their designs to real-world combat applications and field maintenance.

The Emerson CQC-8 is highlighted as a favorite tactical folder, primarily for emergency defense, though its 5.2 oz weight exceeds typical EDC preferences. It features a nearly 4-inch blade with a versatile sweep and belly, suitable for tactical slashes and thrusts. While priced at $175 MSRP, its rapid 'Wave' deployment, durable 154CM steel, and grippy G10 handle offer significant utility.

This video provides a preliminary look at the Emerson Super Commander, a large tactical folding knife. The reviewer highlights its impressive deployment, solid construction with G10 scales on titanium liners, and excellent balance. Key features mentioned include a 4" 154CM BTS coated blade, good clip, and secure lockup. Potential drawbacks are the high price point ($220-$265), heavier 6.6 oz carry weight, and Emerson's characteristic chisel grind. While not sold on the blade shape or combo edge, the reviewer acknowledges its potential for good slashing and edge retention. The review is hosted by Skaggs Police Supply.
