Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Emerson wave is faster than otf/ots auto. Holds an edge decently well, solid construction. The ergonomic are outstanding.

Detent holds it shut very solidly. Easy to clean thanks to philips screws. Has a reversible pocket clip for the lefties.

Kershaw makes a great knife, and this edc is fantastic. When combined with emerson technology it sings. These knives have a good reputation for a reason.

The wave is a well made tool, but the body is good strong stainless. Smooth action on teflon washers the only thing i don't like is the weight. I have autos, spring assisted, and flippers and nothing can beat the wave.



Cons

The framelock side of the grip is very slippery and the g10 is thick and not contoured. This is not a great edc knife and the handle does not inspire confidence. This knife is useless as a flipper.

Quality


Fit and finish are excellent, and the knife feels smooth and comfortable in hand - ready to go to work.


It has superb ergonomics; feels great in the hand and the locking mechanism is solid.


This knife rolls open easy if you want to open it without the wave, you can even snap it open.


The only reason i never picked one of these up was the cheap 8cr steel.

Price


Good strong knife at 1/10th (+-) the price.


It’s a great value for less than $50.


Lastly, great price point for a very nice d2 blade.

Shipping


I got it two days earlier than expected.

Packaging/appearance


Box comes with screws to mount pocket clip on the left side.

Competitiveness


I like this better than the cqc11.


Especially when you can get d2 emerson design for a third of theirs to me any knife you can buy 3 of is better.

    Blade shaving sharp out of the box

    This may be a bit heavy for some as the steel frame and almost 434 blade have a bit of heft

    I needed four inches as the situation required

    Probably it was made by a change of chinese with straight arms


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Either the lock is less pinched or due to the greater weight but the blade just flies
