I find it really funny that you guys jump on Emerson for backing up his product and being a little sarcastic. You say he onlp pops up to to dis his customers, maybe thats because it's very well known on all knife forums and in the knife community that this forum has a real problem with untrue claims about Emerson and Strider knives. One of you mentioned not purchasing his product because of a shaky repuation. I find it funny that this is the only pace where Ernest Emerson has a shaky repuation....... hmmm coindience. When I first started joining knife forums and getting heavily involved in the knife industry I as worned by many people including members of this forum about this. A good friend and an ABS mastersmith told me to spend my time sparingly here as it is one of the most dishonorable forums with some of the most arrogarant members who have nothng better to do than hate on EKI. If I were to based my judgement of this forum based on the first thread I read and your comments, I would probably never come back. But alass as I am a man of honor justlike Ernest Emerson. He wouldnt have to come over here and be sarcastic if members like you didnt make up or pass falsifications a truth, and being a business owner he has every right to call you out especially if what your saying is untrue or just plain old hate speak with no basis or truth.
Stabman- You must have some bad luck, or you are buying emerson fakes, which there are alot out here. Try buying from a reputable dealer, and yes there are alot of fake emersons out there because it is such a popuar brand with a repuation for some of the best knives and customer service in the world.
Toker Blue- having owned and traded well over 50 emerson knives ive always been satisfied with fit and finish, again watch for fakes. Also fit and finish is highly opianated everone knows if you want a pretty knife of musuem quality you buy a chris reeve. If you want a solid hard use knife that your life could depend on, everyone knows get an emerson.
Alpine0000- I would be upset true if people were spreading the propganda like they do on this forum The Emerson name is synomus with loyalty, respect, and honor. He puts his name on his knives,and again this forum had a verryvery very bad repuation for jealousy and unbacked myths about emerson knives, dont believe me ask around on any other knife and alot of gun and edc forums. Mr. Emerson puts his all into his products, the way you people speak and type is more of a personal attack on his family name. Personlly I se nothing wrong with what he said, and actually think he was pretty easy on you guys. I'm a business owner and far as the customer is aways right, thats a crock of bull. As far as threatning to not buy his products, the man has years of backorders, and can hardly keep up on his production line. I dont speak for the man, but I bet he probably wont miss you. Emerson knives are carried by some of the most noble and honorable warriors in the world, and the average joe. Those are who these great knives hands should be in, not arrogarant persons such as yourself who complain and whine when someone calls you out. Do us real emerson fans a favor and donate your knife to a solider, you seem more like a cold steal guy. You obviously know nothing of emerson the man to have the audacity to say he has and ego is appaling. The man is one of the most fine examples of loyalty, respect, honor, and brotherhood. He has no ego he is just proud and he very well should be, he started as a no name knife maker who gre his busniness into one of the most profitable of all time. His products are in the pockets of some of the most unselfish comunity serving military, police, fire, and ems and your average worker. That he has an ego may be your opinon, but your opinion is wrong, you sir need to apologize and retract that statement immediately thank you. Also as far as his productions knives go there are most defiently not dozens of better companies expext maybe Sal glesser of spyderco. Also before you say something I do not work for Emerso knives. Infact before I owned my own business I made a living working for an extremly large production knife company B****M**E. I'm happy to say I went to work everyday with an emerson knife in my pocket. When the boss asked me why I looked him straight in the eye and told him being a firefighter, EMT, and former bouncer My life and the life of others depend on the blade I carry. He looked at me and said " your point being" I replied with " my point being compared to my emerson every folding and fix blades from this company are extremly sub par nd dont even come close to touching this knife."
KnifeKnut- It's your money, but I would strongly suggest not writing off Emerson completely, I swear scouts honor (Eagle Scout here) that the only place on this planet where he has a shaky repuation is on this forum. Dont believe me go to any other forum or better yet go to a knife show and asked about Mr. Emerson rep, it is second to none. Like I said before this forum has a rep for being one of the most dishonorable forum there is with alot of arrogarant people who are keyboard commandos. Ask nyone and they will tell ou alot of these members just lain hate on emerson and strider knives out of jealousy. Believe me sir if you buy an emerson, you can always return it you will be introdcing yourself to a whole new class of knives. Spyderco, Benchmade, crkt, buck, kershaw and zero tolerance dont even come close to touching emerson knives. Worked for benchmade for three years, probaly one of the "better" production knives out there, still not even close as far as quality is concerned. Only knives I ever owned fom benchmade were the x-mas knives, gave em away immediately still dnt own one. Also Emerson knives are 100% and I do mean ONE HUNDRED PERCENT made in the usa. Do yourself a favor just buy one.
PJ- most Emerson spa trips are for sharpening, maybe Emerson has alot of knives to fix because his customers know an emerson knife can do alot more than a seb. Also alot of people who own Emerson knives use them hard as there meant to be cause there not a "pretty gentlemans knife" as the quote says " Emerson knives, famous in the worst places" Thats because when Ernie started making his custom knives alot of them were bought up by the military, black ops, skull murker, operator straight nightmare bad ass types. Your whole post is pretty much a 100% lie. You also need to aplologize, and you also seem like a Cold Steal guy yourself.
Haze- atleast your smart enough to not make yourself look like to much of a fool by typing, you just agreed with stabman's post so take the time to re-read it as it apply's to you also than.
Seedsacker- If you really knew what kind of man Ernie is you would retract your statement and be bashing these guys instead of just siding with them. Again if you knew how much of a crock of bul these guys are spewing for no other reason than jealousy, or envy. Also if you ever held and emerson you would buy one and than realize that compared to what lies these guys were making up Mr. Emerson took it really really easy on them. Oh well if you dont want to buy an emerson your loss not mine or Emerson's
like I said if I were to base my opinon of this forum on what you guys have been saying about one of the Most respected, honorable and loyal Man and company of all time in edge weapon/tools history. I would say that this forum is made up of no good, lying, dishonorable members. But I know not all members here are like you guys. Like i've mentioned before the repuation of this forum because of people such as you fellows is horrible, infact on 3 forums I belong to we do not even speak you name to advert a pissing match. Another has a 26 page shit list of bad dealings with members, and mods here. Also bad trades and sales, also if I remember correctly this forum has a thread of members of this forum who should be black listed from all forums, and knife related events, it even goes as ar as saying whenever possible these members of this list should be ripped off everyime they try to make a deal or sale. Luckily for all of you I'm not that type of guy. Ok so since im pretty much right and make many valid points in the Spirit if this forum you guys ill prob start hating on me now because it what you guys do best, instead of trying to advance todays knife culture which IS under attack. I hope when I stick around here not all the other members are like you guys cause then I just wasted 30 secs of my life on this P.O.S
