Meet the Maker
Lucas Emerson
Most of my youth was devoted to life in the knife factory. I still sometimes feel as if I have spent more time there than at home, and I have since grown quite familiar with the knifemaking lifestyle. My father, Ernest Emerson, taught me everything he knows about knives and the processes needed to produce them from start to finish, both for customs and production. He showed me more than just the means to manufacture; he taught me his design philosophy and shared his deep, unwavering motivation. Once I truly understood these concepts, I felt unstoppable. I only wish that I had started my knifemaking career earlier.
The Tectonic MX-300
I present to you the MX-300 adorned with the proprietary “Tectonic” finish. The black-stained maple burl scales help accentuate the jagged, multicolored ridges in the zirconium bolsters, a testament to the unrelenting force wielded by nature. This unique knife will be available via auction at Blade Show Atlanta 2025.
Behind the Blades
Knives are more than just work.
They’re a craft. From the design and careful selection of premium materials to the intricacy behind every curve and contour, witness the essence of knifemaking as I bring these remarkable blades into existence. Delve into the behind-the-scenes gallery, where the alchemy of steel and art unfolds, and experience firsthand the dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment that sets my creations apart.
