understanding internet trolls, if you lock it, they will only show up on another thread, and HI JACK IT.
Many years ago I tried to set up an internet Message Board to promote a muzzle loading shoot. Some how we were discovered by a Troll who went by something like NOT KATHYS SON CODY all he did was put up anti firearms, anti second amendment dribble.
In the end he won because we were not able to edit or delegate his postings. So the lesson was TROLLS in the early days of the internet were able to control the internet.
I still think locking a tread only invites Trolls to show up again in another thread, this forum has enough members to silane the Trolls IMHO.
ya dipstick I paid to be a member just so I could troll the emerson chat. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you. Get a grip pal

Hale Storm, that's outstanding work, I love it.![]()
To the OP, I honestly don't disagree with all your points. There's plenty I don't like about Emerson knives (plenty I do, though, and some of my complaints seem to have been addressed in recent years), but they are a well established business. You've said you're a business owner, so let me ask you this: If you had so much business that you sold every single product you made, would you screw with the formula? I'll be brutally honest, I think a large portion of Emerson sales are due to silly fanboys, wannabe badasses, etc., but the bottom line is they make a solid product that has sold well for more than a decade.
Personally, I'm just waiting for the wave patent to expire so it pops up on knives that have better locks, better steel and are more realistically priced. I recommend you do the same.
You. I like you. You need to post around here more oftenI'm a lurker.
The Zt is not the knife we wanted... it's the knife you wanted. I want a liner lock with g10 on both sides, not just one as in a frame lock. IMO, frame locks are not tactical, despite the current framelock dogpile.
The quality of this generation of Emerson knives with standoffs is the best ever, and even if Zt/Kershaw can make a decent knife too I will never buy a KAI product. Even though Emerson is collaborating with them and some people here may like the collab knives, I hate KAI as a company and will never buy their knives.
The Wave Patent will not expire anytime soon. Sorry to disappoint.
5 years really isn't that long. I can wait. Only 3 years if it's from the filing date. Either way, it's coming fairly soon.
Trust me, or don't, but it won't expire after 3-5 years either. Do you think Apple will let all of their patents expire? I'll just say that it's not coming anytime soon.
Not to be too contentious, but it's not a matter of letting patents expire. They aren't like trademarks, which can be renewed, they expire and can only be extended under extremely specific circumstances and even then generally for very short amounts of time. If they didn't expire we wouldn't have generic medications around.
