Today it will be the cool Emerson, as much to keep its purchase from being a waste of money, as anything. Blazingly fast opener with the wave feature, it comes out of pocket open, and you can't get any faster than that, speed limited purely by how fast you can get a knife out of pocket, and truthfully a challenge to get out of pocket withOUT opening it.
This is one of the very limited number he made with a thumb stud, I wanted it as easier for me to flick/not-roll open with thumb rather than his typical disc screwed to spine, purely for if closed in hand or dropped in jacket pocket. Otherwise stud (or disc) is purely superfluous clipped in pocket.
His knives show much evidence of handwork, rather crude compared to batch tumbled polished factory wonders, with hand deburr of liners, blade a little rough inside handle, etc, and I rather like that. VERY good and secure handle shape in hand, not near as hard edged as it appears, a guy could work with this one.
He offers more conventional/practical blade styles, but then it wouldn't be the iconic Emerson which I wanted.
