Hello, just had a question regarding the quality of the black coating on the la griffe. In the past week, I've recieved two examples that were NIB but with a bit of the coating near the edge worn/peeling off. These were from two separate reputable online dealers. Is this normal for Emerson? I've never owned an Emerson, so I'm wondering if this level of fit and finish is normal.

All the La Griffes i have were fine out the box, it wasnt untill i used them the coating started to wear off at the usual "hot spots".

oh sure. rub it in why dont ya???
So there are different versions? I don't like this thick coating at all, and it doesn't help that two out of two were chipped out of the box. So will Emerson release different versions in the future?

Sorry Morim. What can i say
The earlier ones had a smooth finish similar to the folders but not quite the same. The lates ones have the crincle finish.
I only have the smooth ones, it seems the crincle finish is not as durable ?
I dont see EKI changing the coating again any time soon. I have no idea why they changed it in the first place ?. It was probably to save all this money they need
If you find a smooth one id buy it before i do
