The price of Emerson Customs is ridiculously overinflated. Signs of this are some recent failures to reach reserve on EBay.
I own two of them, and they are nothing special. They came brand new with scuffs on the Ti bolsters, and one scratch where the screwdriver had slipped out of the screw slot. In addition, the blade material, ATS-34, is inferior to BG-42, and the chisel grind of the Emerson is detremental to precision cutting (to be fair, it is NOT designed for precision cutting).
The ergonomics are better, but certainly not worth the tremendous price difference.
