We discuss coherent control of photoemission from a tungsten tip in a Brumer-Shapiro scheme. We observe that photoemission from the nanotip induced by a femtosecond laser displaying many multiphoton orders can be strongly enhanced or reduced by the presence of a weak second harmonic, depending on the phase between the laser pulses. With optimized parameters the phase-dependent contrast in the total emitted current can exceed 90%. Time-resolved data shows that emission takes place on femtosecond time scales. With the help of spectrally-resolved measurements and density functional theory calculations we interpret our observations in terms of interfering emission pathways.
