Liigendnuga Emerson Iron Dragon

Known as "The Iron Dragon," Richard Bustillo is an original student of Bruce Lee and partner of Dan Inosanto, who brought both Bruce Lee’s Art of Jeet Kune Do (JKD) and Filipino Martial Arts to the world.

Beyond being an internationally respected and talented martial artist, Richard Bustillo was a pivotal figure in the life of Ernest Emerson. Both a mentor and a friend, Richard Bustillo gave a Bali Song knife to Ernie to make his own knife. It was the first one Ernest ever made and the impetus for a career that has indelibly changed the tactical knife landscape.

As a tribute to Richard Bustillo, Emerson Knives created the Iron Dragon folding knife. It employs features that have not been seen in an Emerson knife before, including titanium frame lock construction, a replaceable stainless steel lock bar insert and stop tab, and a ball-bearing pivot assembly. The Iron Dragon is a tactical knife infused with fighter DNA. It's truly impressive and an exciting offering to honor "The Iron Dragon."
