Emerson Knives, Inc.

Bold design meets responsive mega e-commerce solution.

Emerson Knives was founded in 1996 in Torrance, California by Ernest and Mary Emerson with the goal of manufacturing custom knives on a larger scale than any other custom knife maker was capable of. 20 years later Emerson Knives is among the top custom knife manufacturers world wide.

In May of 2013 the Emerson CQC-7 knife carried by the Navy Seal who served as point man on the mission to capture Osama Bin Laden auctioned off for charity for $25,000.00.

Emerson Knives caters to a very unique demographic and offers a wide range of products. They needed a website that could display their beautifully hand crafted knives that would also serve as an online store to sell a variety of different products as well. From knives to apparel to digital downloads. Emerson Knives also needed an area for their dealers and affiliates to download and purchase materials as well as apply for dealership licensing.
