\"Emerson<\/a>Ernest Emerson has allied with noted author, speaker, and soldier Lt. Col. Dave Grossman to produce Emerson’s first flipper knife that will be the official blade for Grossman’s company, Sheepdog Knife and Gun<\/a>.\u00a0 The knife is called the Rangemaster Sheepdog<\/a> and it is one very nice piece of sharpened goodness.<\/p>\n

The Rangemaster Sheepdog has a 3.5 inch blade of 154 CM stainless steel, Rockwell Hardened to 57-59 on the C scale.\u00a0 The blade, available as a bowie or spear point and in black or stonewashed finishes, swings open via the patented Emerson Wave Feature, a thumb disk, or finger flipper action.\u00a0 Any one of these methods operates on a new Emerson ball bearing pivot system.<\/p>\n

Grossman told Emerson, \u201cIt\u2019s important that the user must be able to open the knife under high stress so I\u2019d need it to have a flipper.\u00a0 With your wave, thumb button, and flipper, it\u2019ll be the most deployable knife ever built, even in a gross motor skills environment.”<\/p>\n

\"Emerson<\/a>The remander of the Sheepdog is de rigueur<\/em>\u00a0Emerson: \u00a0textured G-10 scales over titanium liners, right-side tip up pocket clip, and lanyard hole.<\/p>\n

Lt. Col. Grossman is a world-recognized expert in the field of human aggression and violence. \u00a0His books On Killing, On Combat, and Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill should be required reading for all cops. \u00a0Their insights into critical incidents and stress are profound.<\/p>\n

A collaborative knife by Grossman and Emerson is a special one, indeed. \u00a0The Rangemaster Sheepdog can be bought through Sheepdog Knife and Gun or Emerson Knives, Inc. \u00a0MSRP starts at $239.95 for a stonewashed model. \u00a0They are available now.<\/p>\n

If you’ve ever been to one of his lectures, you know the Colonel’s intense close-eyed stare. \u00a0\u201cSometimes the ultimate love is not to sacrifice your life, but to lead a life of sacrifice,” said Lt. Col. Dave Grossman. \u00a0“Hua?” \u00a0Sheepdog is definitely the right name for this knife.<\/p>\n
