Emerson 19‑Eleven – ECA Knife of the Year 2005
Upgraded by Andrew Charlet – Titanium Handle Conversion
Extremely Rare - Collector‑Grade Piece
This is an exceptional and extremely hard‑to‑find Emerson 19‑Eleven, awarded ECA Knife of the Year in 2005, professionally upgraded by renowned craftsman Andrew Charlet. 
I personally purchased this knife from Arizona Custom Knives, and it was clear they didn’t realize what they had. The listing made no mention of the Charlet upgrade, nor the knife’s award history. Once in hand, the provenance and craftsmanship were unmistakable. This is one of those rare finds where the seller overlooked the significance, and the buyer (me) got extremely lucky.
This knife is a standout piece for any Emerson collector, ECA enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates historically significant tactical knives with premium custom work.

Collector Notes
Charlet’s titanium conversions are extremely scarce, and most were done on private request.
The 19‑Eleven itself is already a desirable Emerson model; pairing it with an ECA award year and a Charlet upgrade makes this a top‑tier collector piece.
This knife represents a unique intersection of Emerson tactical history and boutique custom craftsmanship.
