Some of them can be had with traditional V grinds.I keep wanting an Emerson but the chisel grind is a big turn off. Thoughts and recommendations to sway me into getting one?

The Commander and Mini Roadhouse also come to mind.

It's definitely a fun little knife. Seems well made, the blade fires fast and locks up solid, and it's CPM154 so it's quality steel. If it was about 30% bigger it would be close to perfect, but small knives have their advantages too.

Mind-reader! LOL.They come in PF colors as well:
I usually buy utility knives in bright orange, and barring that, bright red. I want to be able to see them and avoid mislaying them somewhere. I must have a half-dozen orange Moras.
I was looking at them online and thought, "Hey, that's kind of a cool Pistol Forum color..."
Thanks Nick. I'll snag one on payday.
What model is that?

As Cid pointed out, some Emerson's come in a primary V grind, but all their knives have a chiseled edge. I've not messed with a full chisel since owning a BM970 (the precursor to the Emerson CQC-7) back in the mid 90's, but I remember it being a pain to cut with, albeit sharp as all get out. All my Emerson's have a primary V grind, including the 7a and 7v in the pics above. If I had my druthers, I'd rather them have V bevels, but I don't notice too much of a difference.
That's awesome. Must have.
Crawford keeps on making astounding looking Kaspers and every so often I find myself so sorely tempted. So far, I've not succumbed.
