My first Emerson is as expected:

Sharp as hell
Grippy G10
Big Handle
Gritty blade feel
Machine marks
Fit and finish: Not!

I think when it's broken in I'm going to love it! Somebody described it like a 60's Muscle Car and I love my 64 Malibu SS. I love my Chris Reeve Sebenza 21 Lefty but in a different way.

Update: I've carried this knife a day now and it's really growing on me! The size is a good size for me and fits well in my pocket. The tanto and chisel grind doesn't bother me. All the weight is in the blade. I sanded the G10 around the pocket clip because it was tearing up my pants. Oh and the Wave is very cool

Update: I purchased a used mini A100 serrated from a member. I love this knife for small task! I removed the pocket clip and it sits in the bottom of my pant pocket on my weak side. Oh and I ordered a Mini commander with the stand-offs. I plan to have it tapped for Left hand carry. I think I might be addicted to Emersons

Update:
Took her apart: cleaned and lubed with FrogLube. Grittiness gone. Smooth, but not buttery (yet). As others have said, it come dirty. Easy to take apart and put back together.

Early lock-up.
