a100 first impressions

Something i never understood. Why do emersons have 2 ball detents but have the weakest hold compared to most knives?
Click to expand...

after some breaking in, the a100 detente snaps closed like all my other emersons.

the only knives that i have found to have a regularly stronger detente are spydercos. most of mine are about the same, including sebbies and other customs i have.

in my experience, the spydies are unusual in this regard.
 
imho the detents in EKI's are about average, sime spydies seem a little better, but then again some spydies seem a little worse, just depends on the design i suppose, i have never had a problem with EKI's opening up in my pocket though so they must be at least "ok".

my SnG also has a strong detent.........
 
I really thought about getting an A-100 but the CQC-7 won out. The CG was the determining factor.
 
i just got the a-100 and personally love the blade simple , practical, and none of the bells and whistles just one staight up hard workin folder and the detent on my a-100 seems to be fine..........great knife once again by emerson
 
I've been EDCing a new A100 for a couple weeks now.

When I first got it, the liner lock didn't fully engage the tang. After a little breaking in, it does now. Also, it had some slight lateral blade play right out of the box. Did anyone else have this problem???? It was a little disappointing on that front. And the pocket clip has very little tension even when new.

Pros: The liner lock is thick and very strong. The liners are also thick, and the scales are top notch. The ergos rule. And I actually like the unconventional grind on the blade. It was razor sharp right out of the box and has retained the edge quite well.

Overall a good knife, but perhaps overpriced.
 
Has anyone else besides MorimotoM found the thumb disk a bit more difficult to access than some other EKI models?
