cool knife. I decided to quit buying any more, as I have several I don't use now.

Nice knife, I'd like to have one but I won't buy a knife with a liner-lock.

If you carry in Condition 3, you have two empty chambers. One in the weapon...the other between your ears.

Kenpo, The liner locks on my other Emerson's haven't failed yet. And from what I hear at the Usual Suspect Network forum, they rarely ,rarely do.

Very cool - enjoy your knife! I have the mini-Commander. How do you like your Wave feature? (It's fun, but it can tear up your pants if you use it often.)

I do tho still want a Kershaw BOA - just ''because''!

Yeah, I know. But I've had too much bad luck with liner locks that I just don't trust them. If I were to buy another one, I'd be constantly waiting for it to fail and that's not the kind of attitude you want to have toward a tool that you may need really, really bad someday.Originally Posted by Justin
That's just me, I'm glad they've worked well for you.

I've kinda wanted and Emerson Commander from the first time I saw it. I'm not too crazy about liner locks though.

I own a Commander and a PSARK; both liner locks fail the "spine whack" (against the heel of my hand!) consistently. I admire the design, but the fitting of the liner locks prohibits my carrying either of them!

I have an Emerson CQB myself. Enjoy!

Bob is doing me damage with those Microtechs; I bought a pair of Terzuolas from him, just got my HALO III, and I think I need another..... :chairshot

Bob is one of the good guys out there for sure. Ya'll keep the orders going into him.

Excellent folder, enjoy!

I've used a Commander on-duty for years and never had the liner-lock fail. Simply an awesome knife!
Array
I've had my Commander for almost a year now and I love it. I've also heard so many negative comments concerning liner locks, that I put mine to the test. So far, I've had zero probs, and it stays locked.
May the Schwartz be with you
