Ha, that’s why I haven’t attempted to extract the broken screw on my Emerson. Right now the knife is functional, but if I mess it up it becomes a $150 harsh lesson.I like them sometimes. The ones on the ZT's in the first two pics look really nice.
I've only ever done one and it was terrifying. Trying to tap that tiny screw hole in the middle of the spine gas a real pucker factor.
Snap that tap off in the hole and the blade is wrecked. I'm not sure my nerves would take another attempt.
Buddy, I'm telling you, you will love the A-100. I have a super and a regular and they are both fantastic. I think I like the super a little more, but both are very near the top of the Emerson pile for me.Love me some thumb disc! Here’s my favorite I’m sure this will shock you. I’ve always wanted to try the A100. Very simple knife but there’s something about it that speaks to me.View attachment 2714853View attachment 2714854

That steak knife has beautiful scales! I swapped the hardware between my Seax and steak knife and they both look much better for it!These days I much prefer the thumb opening over flipper tabs:

The kwaiken is also a fantastic knife if you like that style, similar semi neutral handle shape to the A-100 and the wave works great!You talked me into it. That’ll be my next one.

Send it to Emerson and have him sort it outI like the thumb disk openers. I have two of the ZTs listed above. I also bought an abused Emerson mini Seax, but the previous owner was in love with red loctite and I ended up snapping the thumb disk screw.![]()

I'll allow it!They are not exactly a disc; these are more of a square on two of these RJ Martin Devastators.
