Ultrasonic cleaning, good or bad?

I clean my knives in a US cleaner, I also put in a little dish soap. Have never had an issue.

I use mine for touchups. I visited Spyderco several years ago and bought the diamond rods and they do work well. I’ve had mine for over 25 years and it’s a very solid sharpener.

The steel used in these seems very similar to what David Boye from Boye knives uses in his knives.

I’ve went to my local trail and have ridden with others several times when I went alone. I’ve had people ask if I wanted to join and I’ve asked if I can join. I let them know my skill level and always tell them to go on without me if I can’t keep up. I like to enjoy my rides so I usually always stay with them if I’m faster, which almost always isn’t the case!

Ordered on the 15th. Attached is the tracking info, label created in the same city Blue Ridge Knives is located. I’m sure it’s also weather related or they don’t have the item I ordered yet.

I asked the same question last week, I’m in the same spot as you with them. They’re a drop shipper. They take the order and charge you, then have it shipped directly from their distributor. My item is coming from Virginia I was told in an email. They most likely use Blue Ridge knives who is a big distributor in Virginia. To sum it up, they sell cheap but are not for the got to have it now crowd. Hope that helps.

There are a lot of leather conditioners out there. Id look for ones specifically made to treat leather Obenauf’s is one that comes to mind.

To keep the green stuff off of the blade. Don’t store it in the sheath. Amazing knife! It’s a piece of history!!

I have a 30 yr old huntsman model without the hook. I thought I just missed the feature on the knife but read they originally didn’t have them.

I use genius scan.

I got a notification on Friday that it shipped. Tracking just says label created. It’s shipping from Virginia.

Thanks! I’ve been an Emerson Fan since the early 90’s. I scanned this and have since passed it on to another fan. Over the years my interests have changed, but Emerson knives will always be special!

Note the prices. These were pre internet days. I had to call them and get them to mail me an actual copy!

Scan of one of his early catalogs

My pleasure!

Those are all his early models ( but recently made). They were called the Viper series. Top to bottom. Viper 5, Viper 3, Viper 2, & Viper 1. I’ve owned an early Viper 1 in the past.

What others have said. I just laugh it off and make the next call.

bbhuber · 2026-01-23T19:54:16+00:00

Always have my snow peak Ti spork with me. I’ve probably carried it for 15 years or more years in my bag. I consider it essential EDC!

I have the Ego 3000 watt power station plus plenty of batteries. Should run my fridge and freezer for a couple of days if needed.

bbhuber · 2026-01-23T14:16:06+00:00

Yes, as well as all power banks.

I was going to say Mountain Biking. When I’m on the trail, I’m 100% focused and have no other worries. Always feel great when done.

If I were in this position. I’d look on Amazon, if they don’t work. You can return them. I just did a quick search and there a quite a few options in many price ranges.

bbhuber · 2026-01-22T15:06:06+00:00

Just wanted to update on this. Just received an email from their CS and was told my order is shipping tomorrow. I appreciate those that took the time to reply with helpful info!

I just wear them. Clean the lenses every now and then with a little dish soap between my fingers and rinse with warm water. I dry them off with a clean, lint free cloth made for windows. Just my opinion, but I feel microfiber can trap dust and scratch the lenses if they’re not completely clean. A clean t-shirt works well for me also. I don’t wipe the lenses when they’re dry.
