Can someone please confirm a Medford rumor?

As long as you don't start charging people to "pimp" their knives with a modification similar to the wave feature, you will be fine.

That's not my intent at all...

I see a few people here and there doing wave mods with the intent to sell them(an add on piece of metal/kydex); curious if Emerson would/can pursue those as well.

Oh no, I apologize, I didn't mean that it was your intent, just making a general statement.

Honestly, I don't think it is worth pursuing small time "pimpers" unless they are doing a high volume of work. It's more so for the custom knife makers charging $500 on up to thousands of dollars for a knife with a feature that is patented and trademarked, that was being used without permission from Emerson.

I heard there is talk on another forum ... who's members want him to come after me in court! Ha! My VA disability compensation is unalienable (even child support can't touch it). Put a lien on my house? LOL, I don't plan on moving... ever.

Interesting...

They wouldn't like my personal wave mods either then. :thumbup:

My knives, modded by me; for me. :thumbup:

As long as you kept them for yourself I don't think they would care, I would ASSUME they are mad at CM for selling the ones he did..

From the talk I had with Emerson over a year ago, I can't be profiting off it. I always lose money on modded knives I end up selling.

Okay, I'll admit I cringed watching that.

I've personally waved several knives for myself, never gonna sell them though. I'm a little disappointed in the trademark of it, and him not allowing a lot of people even pay to use it. I'm still gonna carry my emersons, but it would be nice to have such a quick opening method widely available.

Another route would have been to just cut the wave off..

I don't think Emerson can do anything about these, they don't remotely resemble his wave shaped feature.



He doesn't have the function of opening from the pocket patented. Just the wave shaped feature that serves that function on his knives.

I wave all my personal folders or buy licensed folders with the wave. Zt mainly.

That's not my intent at all...
