Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Not too light, not too heavy. Weight is nice too, somewhat heavy which adds to its sturdiness. Great lockup.

The kershaw-emerson 8cr14mov is great quality for the money. Good ergonomic grip and a blade that screamed edc. Used as my edc. I have several kershaw knives, all of which are spring assisted.

The pocket clip keeps it securely in my pocket day after day and it's never popped out by accident. Disk works fine for thumb flipping.

The emerson wave feature works flawlessly. The wave feature is the epitome of speed and convenience. I love the wave open feature, but it kinda feels like i'm gonna rip my pants one day. I own an emerson that is almost this exact design.

Came razor sharp out of the box, quality is solid!


You can clearly feel the quality, the tight, if not perfect, lock up, the functionality of chris reeve's frame lock with emerson's wave.


It's been really hand at work with the emerson hook.

Price


I've never seen such quality for such a low price (seriously, this has taken the place of my spyderco paramilitary 2 as my main...  Read More


Tough to beat the price i got for in early september.


If you’re looking for a well balanced knife at an affordable price, then look no further.

Competitiveness


Well worth the price and it's a solid, good-looking knife.


It shaves hair and slices paper better than a spyderco comes from the factory (after i touch it up on the wicked edge).
