I don no, remember what Freddy Gray's knife started?

Are you equating me with a criminal hard drug user who would resist arrest? I’m going to lay on my back and show I’m submissive, (humorous way to indicate I’ll cooperate).

Anyone know of a local shop that carries the Emerson Wave? I want one to replace my stainless steel Kershaw Zing.

As a city resident I’ve felt the Zing isn’t that big of a deal. Yeah, illegal, but if a cop sees it he’s going to keep it and add it to his collection before he makes the fuss and have all the paperwork for a little knife. I have a very different attitude about being cavalier about a handgun.

Edgeworks is the only place I can think of that might have some. A few companies license the Wave from Emerson, ZT, Kershaw, and Spyderco are the big ones. I own and carry a couple Emersons, they work well as defensive tools, but have serious drawbacks for any other uses, VERY thick edges and low grinds, mediocre fit/finish, mediocre steel, lots of friction in the pivot. The ZT Emersons are probably the best, basically Emerson's overall design, but FAR better fit/finish, grinds and materials, but most are discontinued. The Kershaw Emersons are the least expensive, but tend to be small, and aren't the same quality as the better makes. Spyderco's Emerson models are probably the best for the money, more useable, FAR better for EDC, good quality for the money, hard to beat a waved Endura for $80.

Nice info. I like all the choices, thanks.
