To be fair I love Harleys and Indians, whiskey is my drink of choice, so I'd probably like Emersons. As far as ergos go, Ernest himself said that his ergos are unusual because depending on the model they just fit or they seem like junk. Which would mean one has to try out multiple to find if any of them fit.I like the look of that A-100 but I'm not sure I'd use it carelessly due to not knowing if there is even the slightest chance of slipping up on the blade.
Well the Wave feature can also open a bottle of beer. They have an appeal to them and to be honest I gravitate more towards those knives than the $400+ ones. But the point stands that with their price there are a lot of options.SARK for instance is an interesting model that has competition but is also oddly unique. I do wish that Emerson did a collaboration with a company like Spyderco to put out a bit of a different twist on his signature style and features
