It is simple, why must you bash Emerson knives every chance you get? Emerson may have passed along a few bad apples early on, does that warrent you bashing them in all threads?
From the ones I've handled they seem to have attoned for these past sins. The vast majority of new Emerson posts seem to support this. They keep striving to provide innovative solid products to their customers.
You seem to be a giant BenchMade supporter (I'd use "Asslapper", but I'm trying to be nice

), I seem to recall a huge amount of Anti- BenchMade threads a while back? The truth is most companies old-line, to super-modern will past along a few turds, it's the nature of production.
The price relative to value question: Emerson's are expensive knives, if you don't like that then don't buy them, Emerson is a no loss for business. Most knives will see a heavy discount, so price should not be that big of a gripe.
Lastly, when you could not drum up support, you resorted to trolling under various names, and that is why I think you are a Pu-double-Sy.
