what's going on YouTube Kevin Rees here thanks for stopping by my channel today I am super excited to
show you all these knives I picked up yes these are my first two emerson knives I want to share
them with y'all today I picked these up because a good buddy of mine whom I work with very avid
knife collector is way more knowledgeable when it comes to blades and steel and knives than I have
ever thought about being he loves emerson knives after handling his knives he finally talked me
into picking up one of my own and not only one but two because the Black Friday Cyber Monday special
you buy one you get the other one like 40% off I could not pass the deal up he sent me the link so
thank you you know who you are so the Roadhouse and the Patriot are the two that I've the combo
that I chose and I'm going to start here with the classic Roadhouse you can see it's got the nice
Emerson clip here on it y'all this g10 is unlike unlike any scales that I've ever handled before
some people that I've heard complain about you know they're being hotspots and that it's just
really rough and it is very very textured you can tell a big difference when you're used to
carrying a normal pocketknife for example this spyderco tenacious has been my EDC until I got
this emerson knife and I've been IDI seeing it like crazy but uh this is g10 also and I mean
that it is there's no comparison between this and the g10 on this guy it it's it's so rough
you can tell a big difference sliding in and out of your pocket I know I can from this spider coat
here a huge difference how how how grabby and catchy it is a lot of people don't understand
these are hard used knives Ernest Emerson does not beat around the bush when he talks about the
reason behind this knife and the philosophy of use of this knife and all Emerson knives
all these knives are designed for combat military law enforcement when you're CQ see close quarter
combat hand-to-hand and your god forbid in a knife fight with somebody and you're stabbing
and cutting the last thing you want in a knife fight is to to drop your knife and to lose your
knife well when your hands are covered in sweat and blood and guts this g10 is gonna hold get
it's going to give you great grip and allow you to hold on to this knife and fight for your life
so that's one of the reasons it is so rough but I love it some other things I like about this knife
you know it's not there's nothing fancy about you know there's no kind of specialty screws
that you have to have a specialty tool to use he designed these knives to be you can see you've
got Phillips head screws standard Phillips head screw guys how many of y'all have a Phillips head
screwdriver around the house pretty much everybody I'm assumin and it's not any crazy crazy kind of
size either it's a smaller Phillips head that you can get with a regular Phillips size bit
right here you've got a flathead screw here for your pivot easy to adjust y'all you can adjust
you know how tight it is opening and closing you do have a lanyard hole here if you want
to use one your thumb disk which I really love this y'all you can see here also Phillips head
they make different replacements and stuff for them I love this standard thumb disc find that
it's really easy to just open it up and to use you know flipping it open really no problem with it at
all you can see your blade here Emerson knives Roadhouse made in USA it's got the wave feature
and you see each number or whatever the knife is the number is stamped on it so this one is 15 13
this is a tanto blade y'all can see another thing about emerson knives pretty cool some people don't
like it I think like I said philosophy of use of this knife is very appropriate the chisel grinds
you can see only one side of the blade flipping over to the other side you can see you have no
grind on this side like I said this is a chisel grind and one of the big reasons for that being
out in the field field sharpening this knife you've only got you've only got one side of the
blade that you have to worry about sharpening yeah it's not gonna finesse as nice as some
of these other knives out there but that's not what this knife is designed for and something I
love the most right here made in USA so you're supporting an American and an American company
and it doesn't get any better than that one of the coolest things about emerson knives is their
patented wave feature right here and originally this was designed so in a knife fight when you're
holding a knife and you have someone else's blade coming across this is gonna stop their
blade from coming up and cutting you so that's what this is originally was designed as until
they found out they said hey is your knife uh have you accidentally opened your knife in your
pocket when when deploying your knife did you automatically open your blade and they said yeah
I did the same thing so kind of like how viagra was discovered as a edie medication when it was
originally designed to be a blood pressure medication the wave feature was discovered
and I'll demonstrate that for y'all in a second please me at the center of the knife y'all you
got your nice liner lock so closing it and you can see here that thing just rest as pretty as
you want right there in the center y'all I'll have this knife til the day I die and pass it
on to my children and grandchildren I can replace the scales on it I can replace the screws on it
you see you've got your your black spacers here and they make a they make a variety of
different custom parts for these knives if you all want to change any parts out on them
you can put custom scales on them satin screws satin spacers custom clips custom thumb disk
possibilities are really endless with these knives and here if some people say that this
emerson is too big for them to everyday carry and use i think is BS y'all if you think this
is too big to carry and use everyday you're probably not the kind of person that's going
to conceal carry a firearm either i mean i was easy seeing this this is the EDC knife
you see there's not much of a size difference a little bit of a weight difference but you're
getting a high quality high quality knife not much of a difference between these two
so some specs on the Roadhouse y'all it's an overall length of 8.9 inches
3.8 inch blade and weighs 6.2 ounces I
mean it's a full sized knife and I don't have any you know like I said y'all you know god
forbid you're faced in a situation where you have to to pull a knife or fight with a knife
but I feel safe and secure more secure than I would with any other knife carrying this knife
every day if I had to pull this a knife out and my life depended on it and if I had to depend
put my life depending on a knife it would be this one you can see I mean this you know the
jimp and they put right here on the top it is perfect you know fits your thumb perfect for
cutting everyday tasks and the blade 154cm a very good serviceable steel good quality alright so if
y'all can see the knife right here I've got in my car hearts and y'all can just like I was saying
you listen I mean you can see this you can hear on this material as it slides in and it holds it
great so in the wave feature y'all takes a little getting used to but it's awesome grab the knife
you kind of have to tilt it back a little bit blade comes out I mean it's it's it's so nice
so smooth once you get the hang of it it's awesome so again knife goes in the pocket right here way
feature knife out a push button push button flip knife anything else is not going to be you know
switchblade it's not going to be this fast you know you have to withdraw the knife from your
pocket press the button to actuate it I mean as soon as you pull the knife out this one is just
ready to go just like that I mean can't be Joe so here's the sticker that comes in the box you
also get here the number one hard use knives in the world emerson knives some little merch
and stuff like that in here so that and that's really in the knife comes a little plastic bag
so let's check out the patriot now the Roadhouse came with the emerson and said emerson on the belt
clip this just came with a standard belt clip and this is the patriot as you can see same g10
same screws this knife comes with a satin finish same chisel grind blade you can see
here Emerson knives Patriot made in USA with the wave feature this one is oh six five
nine same thumb disc Phillips head screw the steel is 154cm what they call 154cm crucible
stainless steel and both of these emerson knives featured titanium liners so titanium
liners on the inside same with the roadhouse titanium liners for the patriots y'all you're
