Mr. Emerson is quite upfront on F/F , he puts it where it's a functional need , doesn't worry too much about it in other spots . Kinda like the F/F on my Kline 2000 series linesman's pliers . Works for me .
They cut like Kentucky Stink , he sells all he can make , doesn't advertise - gotta be doing something right .
If ya wan't an emerson at a good price , try the Cove over on the USN .
They aren't for everyone , but I missed mine .
