thats what i'm saying....i don't see where i did anything wrong....i modified something to suit my needs, the same thing any other person would do....no big deal to me....
 
I guess the "problem" I have is someone coming into Mr. Emerson's forum, and bashing his patented design, then admitting to mutilating not just one, but two of his knives, when a little bit of research would have allowed you to buy an Emerson without the "wave" in the first place. I could be wrong, but smells like a troll to me. If I'm wrong, I apologize.

not once did i bash his design. obviously it's a feature that many people like, put it's a preference thing. i don't like it, and i gave a reason for it too. as for mutilating, i don't think i did that. i modified the best style of knife that i have ever owned to suite my needs, since i couldn't get one the way i wanted it.

I can't understand why EKI doesn't offer waved versions of all their knives. In fact, they should wave them all, and offer a few un-waved versions. I want to get a EKI, but the models I want don't have the wave. I'm working on a SOCFK now, but I really want a waved mini-CQC7A PE. I might pick up a mini-CQC7B PE (waved, of course). All the Hardware series should be waved, IMHO. I'd get several, and I think it would put a serious dent in Spyderco's FRN series (they're made in same factory, right?)

IT IS VERY VERY simple to add a Wave to any hard wear series knife by taking a dremel tool to the tip side of the thumb hole, you only need about an eighth of an inch cut to make a nice wave like stub that will catch on your pocket and voila

emerson doesnt care if an individual owner mods his/her knife to wave it.

now, if ya started making waved knives to sell, another story.
 
Anyone know of some good places to order waved emersons for a good price? I would actually prefer to handle one before ordering, but I can't seem to find a distributor in Houston or Austin, Texas. Also, do a lot of people seem to have problems with the wave cutting up their pant pockets? Thanks for the help.
 
Try TAD Gear or Schmuckatelli.
I have been carrying waved Emerson's since 1999 and I've suffered no damage to any of my clothes. Of course, I only wave my knife when needed (two-three times per day).
 
I made a couple of frame lock CQC8-type knives awhile back. I could have waved 'em, but did'nt....fool that I am. Rumour has it that there will be a waved CQC8 out sometime in '05. COOL!!!!!.

there is a guy at the austin gunshow who sells a lot of Benchmade, microtech, etc and emersons, dont remember his name, but there is only 2-3 booths selling knives, he makes most shows, i know he is on this board occasionally, dont know if he makes the houston show but have seen him in austin and laredo all the time.
 
Appreciate it. I will look for him at the next Saxet show. The last time I went I wasn't paying enough attention to the knife booths. I actually ran around Houston a little bit today only to find some people selling CS knives at an inflated rate. $100 for a Recon 1? Crazy.

Great feature. However, I wish Emerson would explore other locks, like Axis and ones similar to it.
 
victor ya might check out 'the cutting edge' in round rock, he occasionally has EKI knives,
