Hello.
I bought an Emerson ETAK some months ago and i love it. But when i read on the forums people are talking about how titanium linerlocks will wear out and how they are not reliable and so on...
But when i hear Ernest Emerson speak on videos and read what he says about his products i get the impression that he is an honest man who takes pride in his work.
So i am thinking like - if mr Emerson is a highly profesional knifemaker and he makes quite expencive knifes which he markets as fighterknifes, then why would he use a unreliable material? It doesent makes sence.
Or does people mean that the knife will break down after some years and thats what people thinks are bad and non reliable? If thats the case, then how long do you think this knife will last if i dont open it often and follow the maintenense guidelines?
I bought this knife as a selfdefence tool but when i read how people says that the linerlock is non reliable i get a little bit worried and i am thinking about buying a fixed blade instead
because i dont want to get my fingers chopped of if the linerlock collapse and the blade closes.
But i really like this design and i cant find a knife i rather have than this one, and if all this talk about the Emerson linerlocks being unreliable is just talk from people who want to show of and be smart can someone please tell me that?
Thank you.
