behoove me? That's a pretty strong word. I'm not boycotting Emerson, but I'm also not going to be purchasing one in the foreseeable future. Yes it looks like this situation will be worked out, but there is not a knife out there made by anyone I have to have. At the end of the day they are sharp things that cut stuff, and there are a lot of choices

Sorry bobnery, didn't mean to ruffle any feathers at all man.
What I meant to say was that the four Emersons I've gotten, 2 CQC 15s, a Super Commander and a Christmas Journeyman, which was within the last 6 months or so also, had really, really good F&F on them. If you held any of those four, you would not see an issue whatsoever. And that is just how they came, but I did tweak the pivot screw tension downward a hair on the Journeyman and one of the 15s.
I totally agree, your knife was definitely defective. It was a safety issue. And yes, it sucked.
But even after all this publicized activity, you are not going to benefit from the man himself going over the knife they would be sending you, or the repair of that one. After which it would have been two-day shipped back to you probably, which is how they ship typically.
You're certainly correct, they are just knives, but what you would have gotten back possibly would have gotten you to appreciate this brand of knives like many of us do, or turned you off for good, which happens. And life goes on.
BTW, I have two ZT 0560s myself, a satin and a black. And I agree with you, they are perfectly fine, heavy duty knives but I feel kinda "meh" about them. I'm gonna put them on the exchange at some point.
Thanks bobnery, have a good one!
