Don't worry, Gerber will copy it soon.
What now?? What's that fancy knife about then?
It's an Emerson. Ernie Emerson single handedly started the entire tactical knife industry. One handed opening, black blades, pocket clips are all Ernie's ideas.Most of his knife range are a little bit on the pricey side so he really couldn't offer a new knife with more features than the latest CQC model and be significantly cheaper.Def
"I wasn't too excited when I heard about the price tag, especially when you consider that like all MultiTaskers, it will be made in China. While I personally don't have any hangups about the quality of items made in China, I do think that if you are benefiting from low cost of manufacturing you should probably pass that on to the customer".Def

I don't own any newer Emersons, but I would doubt very much that is the case since Ernie actually walked away from Benchmade for that exact reason.Def
Not to drag the point on, but as a matter of interest, Emerson came along in the 90s. Spyderco introduced the "worker" model in 1981 with clip carry and one hand opening. Don't know if Emerson did anything knife-wise before starting his company. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Looks cool, but a little rich for my blood. I mean really, $180

Hmm it's growing on me. I like the long phillips driver, stubby ones fail me more often than not to reach what I want. What is the 'wave' feature of the blade they are talking about?
Ah ok. Was not aware of that. A little off topic here...you remember the show Soldier Of Fortune...also called S.O.F. Inc or something. It was kind of a short lived TV series (not a half bad show at first until they got Dennis Rodman in it). Always had a lot of Emerson's stuff and if I recall right he was one of the shows tech advisors. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
