Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Emerson wave is a reliable way to quickly draw and deploy your folding knife in *non* casual circumstances. The emerson wave that enables this knife to be open the instant you take it out of your pocket is the coolest feeling you will every have.

This knife is extremely fast deploying. Even faster than autos like switchblades. Deployment is slow and ponderous but in a good way.

The edge is phenomenally sharp. Sharpens easily and holds an edge well.

Think belushi using a katana to cut the sandwich in the samurai deli skit. The pocket tang works better than it looks like it will too lol. You can customize for left hand opening, tip up, or tip down carry.

This knife makes use of a clever one, not for novices though. Easily accessible in an emergency. Easy to touch up.



Cons

The only good thing about this knife is that the blade itself seems exceptional. Frame lock maybe locked up at 2%. Pivot is insanely stiff and can't be adjusted without further shifting the blade into the scale-side liner.

Price


The fact that you can pick one up on amazon for under $35 makes it an absolute steal.


It’s a great price, and a great fit in my hand.


If i handled it in a store i'd believe a $100 price tag on it.


If you are looking for a budget edc (everyday carry) knife, do yourself a favor and stop right here.

Shipping


Quick deployment every time, if you know what you are doing.

Packaging/appearance


Came out sharp out of the box.

Competitiveness


Kershaw/ emerson did a great job taking a great design with good steel and made it affordable compared to emerson’s same design and brand.


He wanted to carry this knife instead of his more expensive edc knifes.


It could be better, but it'll work fine.

    Ive bought several knives in this price range because i want something im not afraid to useabuse and wont cry if it gets lost


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    At first it looks strange that one side is silver and the other black but once you play around with the quick opening feature youll understand why the two sides are different


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The stainless side is meant to be smooth so it doesnt get caught up pulling it from your pocket while the black side has some good texture for grip

    This might not work out so well for southpaws that want to flip the clip
