.... just got my first, an A100 :) :) :) well...technically it is my "second" as I still have another A100 sitting in the US. When I found a retailer with one here (given the new application of the "flick knife test" being applied by Aus Customs) I could not resist grabbing it up. The A100 is really the only Emerson that has (visually) appealed to me as I really like the sleek lines and minimalist approach....!!!! So far so good... I still hope the other will land safely but at least this way I have the model I wanted..!!! :) :) :)
 
I really want one in black. Im not sure if I am going to get a partially serrated blade or not. The commander is also on my short list.

Congrats on the A-100, Andy. It is one of my favorites as well.

Same here, it is one of the absolute best no frills knives from EKI. Although, I have to admit that the Gentlman Jm is one of those knives rhat I loved as soon as I saw it. It is perfect? Indeed!
 
Congrats man! I just ordered my first Emerson off knifeworks this morning. Hope to have my miniCQC 8 by the end of the week.
 
I just got my first Emerson today as well. I picked up a mini commander from my local gun shop. I am very pleased.
 
I bet you're not done. There are plenty of more models to choose from.
 
Well the other A100 is in the post just now .. :) The hard part is that the Customs test for a "flick knife" out here has made many previously fine folders "prohibited imports" so I don't know what other models I may be able to get. Trying to get this first one a little broken in as it is still a bitch to open and it is locking up early (but it gets better each day)... :)
 
Take your knife apart, clean it with warm soapy water and an old toothbrush. Rinse with clean water, dry with a soft rag. Reassemble with no oil and you should be good to go.
 
gave it a bath but it is still as tight as a nun's nasty....it will loosen up with some patience I imagine... :)
 
Second one arrived while I was away last week.... :) Opened and inspected by Aus Customs but sent on without issue. I will snap a pic of them together at some point soon.
