Emerson open on NON-Emerson knife

[Vaultman]

I like the concept of the emerson opener on knives. And I really am becoming a fan of the spyderco knives. I checked out emerson knives, and ZT but was curious if there were any other manufactures that have the emerson opener other than the three mentioned (Spyderco, Emerson, & ZT)?

Are you referring to the Wave opener? If so then yes. Emersen has licensed a number of custom and production knife makers the right to use on their knives - Fox is one that comes to mind. Just Google "Wave" opener on knives. Lots to choose from.

Kershaw has a line of Emerson knives with the wave. Considerably cheaper, but I like mine. Not pretty or extremely smooth, but it works.

I did not know it was called the wave opener. When I googled that I found more than googling 'emerson opener'. Thank you. That is more what I am looking for.

I have a Emerson Commander and while the knife is impressive the opener is not...for me anyway. Big knife! I also have as a EDC a 350 series ZT. It has the partially serrated blade and the flip nub the works like a dream. Close to 2 inches shorter than the Emerson it is more carry friendly. I will keep the Emerson though, I do like the way it feels in my hand.

I had ordered my Emerson several years ago from Midway. I actually handled the ZT and fell in lust.

Both nice knives, different sizes, different usages! I'd take either one!

If you put a single wrap of zip tie through the hole of any tip-up Spyderco it becomes a wave.

I have seen that. Thank you for the reminder.
