Kershaw-Emerson collabs - enjoy an Emerson for less!

Post by choombak » Sun Jun 08, 2014 12:46 pm

Got 5K and 6K, and boy these are good -- total feel of an Emerson, and absolutely a fantastic introduction to those who are new to the wave, or the ergonomics. The fit and finish on the 5K (green G10) is much better than 6K, mostly due to the frame lock side which is roughly finished on the 6K. The box is a keeper as well. Both blades had lots of oil, and grit in the pivot area (not to mention they instantly started attracting fibers and dust particles). The clip is tiny as compared to the ones on Emerson, but retain the same basic shape. Clip retention is good, and solid (actually these are much better than the other Kershaw and ZT clips, IMO).

Some eye-candy now...

As compared, 5K is flawless...
