This explains exactly why I own 1 Emerson and rarely carry it.
I don’t need to pry manhole covers and if I did I would have the correct tool.
154 cm is a more than adequate steel but you may as well use Victorinox steel the way it is treated.
I love Victorinox steel but I won’t pay Emerson prices for it.
And I agree 100% and I’m in the same one Emerson owning boat. The steel is so soft that actually has worse edge holding than a Kershaw made Emerson design using 8Cr14MoV...I actually thought for a time that my knife might have had a defective HT!
