Description
Emerson Rendezvous – wilderness inspired knife
The Emerson Rendezvous is a tactical switchblade with a rustic touch that combines the classic look of hunting knives with modern materials and functionality. Designed as a tribute to mountain men, settlers and adventurers, it offers rugged construction, a comfortable grip and the legendary Wave system for extremely fast opening of the knife right from the pocket.
History and context
The design of the knife is based on the traditional knives of “mountain men” – explorers and hunters of the American wilderness. Emerson took this concept and transformed it into a modern form, creating a folding knife suitable for everyday carry, outdoor activities and tactical use. The Rendezvous is the answer to the demand for a knife that is both sleek, reliable and ready to handle tough conditions.

Key benefits
- Classic look with modern performance – skinning blade design combined with contemporary materials.

- Robust construction – durable 154CM blade, G-10 handle and titanium liner.
- Universal use – suitable for outdoor, survival, hunting and regular EDC carry.
- Safe grip – ergonomic handle shape and non-slip texture.
Possible restrictions
- Higher weight – compared to some EDC knives it is heavier.
- Coarser G-10 surface – can be abrasive to clothing.
- Larger size – not the most compact choice for a pocket.
Maintenance and grinding
154CM steel is known for its corrosion resistance and solid blade retention. After use, we recommend wiping and oiling the knife once in a while. The V-grind makes maintenance and sharpening easy – a ceramic or diamond sharpener will suffice. Thanks to the open-frame design, maintenance of the knife is easy even in the field.
To maintain the blade, we recommend the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF – ideal for smooth blades. 🛒 Buy on our website Moskito.cz.
