I just want to say that the Emerson service is outstanding! I had to send my P-SARK back for repairs to the lock, (this knife sees alot of hard use in the field), and the knife was repaired and sent back super-fast and it is as good or better than new. No questions were ever asked, they just fixed the problem and sent it back. Also, they were very courteous on the phone and through the e-mails. It is an honor to deal with a company that stands behind their products.....Jim Jones NREMT-P
