Are there any other waved knives out there besides Spydercos and Emersons?
I've already a waved Endura and can't really afford an Emerson right now. Are there any other waved knives out there besides the aforementioned and the CS AK47? I also have a Ti-lite, so that's out too.

A few unofficially do it as a side effect, I know a guy who sells the CRKT M16 like as 'waves' because the double-hilted models wave pretty easily despite the extra bulk. I've done it with Subcoms even and your basic thumb stud folders, it's mostly technique. But that's with practice and the right wardrobe, a dedicated wave really is a whole new dimension. The problem is they can't market this copyrighted feature unless it's a different mechanism like the Ti-lite has.
 
CS also offers two 'waved' Espada models,two waved Rajah models, the waved Spartan and as alluded to above, 4 'waved' Ti-lite models.
 
CS Rajah 1&2, Espada large & extra large, Spartan, and Talwar. I think Fox sells a karambit overseas. AG Russell folding sting, Blade Tech Talon or Cherusker lapu lapu corto could probably be waved with a reverse clip installed. Boker makes an Applegate folding dagger that can probably be set up to wave. However, short of Chinese knockoffs, I think the only ones that are really any cheaper than an Emerson are some of the Cold Steel and Spyderco offerings. That or taking a dremel to another knife to cut your own wave.
 
If you want a waved knife I would talk to Charlie Mike. He has self waved a lot of knives and would be a good person to talk to about this. For the right price he would probably do one for you.

Also I can "Wave" open most of my thumb stud knives with a little outword pressure against my pocket. It's all about technique.
 
Look for any knife with a double guard and tip-up carry, and it can most likely be waved.

I'd also mention any of the Darrel Ralph Maxx series. I'll wave a knife if I can. As far as price, return shipping is cool with me. When I wave a blade for another person, I'm not $$$ motivated... I just want people to have a knife that may give them an advantage.
 
Have any photos of your work?

Jesus... this will take some time :D

When you self-wave a knife, make sure you retain as much of the original thickness as possible. See the last pic I posted. The 2 Ontarion/Hossom folders.
 
Nope :D

I learned from earlier experiments to dip often. I'd say anytime you let color creep further than gold, you'll be putting the HT in jeopardy.
