How are Emerson Knives

[Buffalohump]

I was browsing New Graham the other day and saw the new Journeyman going for $247.95. I was like, woah! What am I missing? Is there something special about this model?

Never seen the handle shape before. The blade looks like what a nonrecurve CQC-11 blade would look like.

Well, then there were those Gentleman Jims and tan CQC7''s selling for 200-250 as well, and plenty others.

Some people like the rough look of rustic furniture:

I prefer a more finished and comfortable construction:

The same goes for knives.

As for the strength of fasteners, I think that Microtech has some of the best, although you do need a special tool.

Great sharing...
Thanks for sharing this....

marketing strategy aside, I think Emerson could definitely improve their f/f. Also, I deeply believe that poor f/f does hinder function, as it shows the maker pays no attention to detail. The lock-engagement is sub-par on Emersons as well. The contact surface is very small, leaving more force concentrated on a little spot on the lock head, causing excessive wear.

Wow, I missed this post earlier. Looks like the f&f is getting worse. I bought a Horseman about a year ago and it didn't look anywhere near that. The miniA100 I bought about 6 months ago did does look very similar. The jimping looks like it was chewed into place by a blind dog. At first I didn't care much for it, but now the jimping area is the only area that rusts!--since it's so poorly finished. So bad f&f does affect function. It's sad to see my A100 wasn't an isolated case.

I have few Emerson Knives

CQC 7 A&B, 8BT & SW, 10,11, 13,14, 15, mini 15, mini commander, SARK, persian. Crambit.
All of them are great knives.

Should also mention taking the knife apart will not void the warranty, as it does on some knives. I own four emerson knives and love every one of them.

I handled about 10 different models of Emerson knives at knife show over weekend and they all had good fit, finish , solid lockup and looked pretty sturdy.The prices were almost double compared to other spydercos there, so I bought Para2 and Military. Eventually will probably get a100 or a persian , the other models seemed too tactical for my tastes!

I still love my Emersons. To each his or her own but I use mine and I trust them 100%

Emerson knves fit my hand like a glove and just "feel right"...like a favorite pair of shoes or a jacket.

I also like their design and in some cases simple is better.
