Sooo let me get this straight, you expect a busy company to call and apologize for a problem they don't know existed that involves one of their policies stated right on the website under warranty. Do you see where that is coming off as a little unreasonable? I get your upset but take 5 minutes off your lunch break and call them, they WILL take care of you.
From Emerson's website:
Sharpening Recommendations
We recommend that you sharpen your Emerson Knife the old fashioned way, on a bench mounted stone or diamond lap. The chisel ground blades should be sharpened on the beveled side only, and never sharpened on the flat side. You may remove the burr on the flat side by laying the blade flat on the hone and lightly touching the blade keeping it flat on the hone. Finish by stropping both sides on a piece of leather mounted on a hard flat surface. Never use a motorized or power driven sharpening device. It will ruin your blade. We will factory sharpen your knife if you prefer.
Just ship, insured to us with $19.00 for shipping (Contact us for the shipping price if outside Cont. U.S.) and sharpening.
If you still stand by this post shoot me an email when you put those Emerson's up for sale I will give you a bulk price and take those POS's off your hands for you.
