Last I heard it was being manufactured by Multitasker for Emerson.

Smart man , why re-invent the wheel . Must admit , I'm curious as to what the jaws and master blade will look like .

Military Times-Gear Scout has pictures of the proto , and a mini review . The proto has metal scales , the prodos will have G10 . It has "Chomper" plier heads , very cool looking tool .

The beast is called the EK-1 .

Emerson=expensive

.

I think there will be a significant mark up on the normal Multitasker price

I wonder how much.

I know it's a proto, but it's a look that's going to take me some time to get used too.
Has a bit of a cheap look in my opinion as it stands right now.

I can't see much, but I can see some of the things Ernie and I discussed at SHOT have been implemented!

For a man who has earned the right to have an ego the size of LA, Ernie is a really good, down to Earth guy, and I think that comes through in a lot of his "no BS" kinds of designs.

I think just about everything on this tool is still in developement. I am excited to see the final result.

I had that feeling too. But it's probably hand built in a machine shop, and most likely keeps getting revised and reconfigured.

It's a good sight better than Tim's prototypes from years ago...

Well I'm at Blade right now, so I'll go check it out.

Make sure to visit CRKT and ask for Tom. I think he has something to show us.

It's like a Multitasker and a Swisstool Spirit had a lovebaby.

I donated it to Locks of Love a week before SHOT.

I'm excited to see the price.

This is exciting news.

Bear in mind the proto was thrown together a few days before blade , ant that the blades are aluminum "placeholders " . The final iteration of the master blade is supposed to be a chisel ground Tanto . Ther also wasn't time for the G10 scales , the final version will have .
