Except S30V.
Fuck S30V. It seems to have quickly died off as a mainstream choice. Thank goodness for that. |

I've only been impressed by edge retention on one knife. My maxamet pm2 impressed me a lot when I first got it. It seemed to stay sharp forever, until I used it to scrape an adhesive label off of a breaker bar, then I had to touch it up. Everything else seems pretty equal, even s30v. I haven't had issues with it at all. |

ZT may be good at mass production, but they are woefully lacking on creative design. Why would it be OK to pay more for materials, but not for the designs? Emersons are fine for the price.

I have owned a good amount of Emerson knives, but I ended up selling most of them because I ended up finding knives I like better. I still have my Combat Karambit and CQC-10 that were converted to framelocks by Nathawut. I'll never sell those. I still have a Traveler that has slight lock rock that I haven't figured out what to do with. But I haven't found a newer Emerson production knife that would kick the ZT620 out of my pocket. |
