The **Emerson Gentleman Jim** is one of Emerson's slimmer models. A knife for the true gentleman! You immediately notice the exceptional ergonomics when you hold the knife. The shape of the handle with the large finger groove in the front will nicely fill up your hand. The thickness of the handle is also just right, to make sure your fingers fall around it perfectly. A large pocket knife that is comfortable to use.

 ## The Emerson Wave opener

 You can open the Emerson Gentleman Jim in two ways: you can open it with the thumb disc on the back of the spine, or you can use the characterizing Emerson Wave. This is the little wave on the spine of the blade. You can use this 'hook' to open the pocket knife when you take it from your pocket. You pull the knife back after which the wave will get caught behind the edge of your pocket opening the blade. Also important: it also functions as a bottle opener. Cheers.

 ## The handle

 The handle is made from G10 with a structure that offers you a massive amount of grip. This pocket knife almost sticks to your hand. The shape of the edge also contributes to this. Both with the blade at the top and at the base of your fist the Gentleman Jim offers you a wonderful ergonomic grip. Inside the handle you can find titanium liners. These liners keep the weight of this large pocket knife relatively low. Remarkable about Emerson's pocket knives is that they are enhanced with a second detent that ensures that the blade remains centred.

 ## The blade

 The blade on the Emerson Gentleman Jim is made from 154CM steel. This type of steel was designed in the seventies for turbine blades of jet engines, but today it is better known as a premium type of steel. The blade is enhanced with a regular V-grind, but only sharpened on one side. According to Emerson this should make sharpening in the field a lot easier. The clip point blade is razor-sharp. The blade is enhanced with a stunning stonewashed finish and when opened a linerlock will keep the blade in place.

 ## History of Emerson Knives

 The foundations for Emerson Knives as we know them today date back to 1979. That was when Ernest Emerson started producing custom knives. Because of his background as a soldier and martial arts instructor he had a clear idea of what a knife should look like. In 1996 Emerson decided to scale up his production to make sure more people could start using his knives. He founded Emerson Knives and started producing pocket knives and fixed knives on a larger scale. Today *Emerson Knives*  is a family company that focuses on details, but perhaps most importantly: it is a company that puts the use of a knife and the user first.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Cutting edge length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_closed_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
