Designed by Emerson, built by Kershaw
For 2014 Kershaw Knives and Emerson Knives have teamed up on a series of knives that combine the precision engineering of Kershaw with Emerson's uncompromising functional design. Each knife in this series features Emerson’s wave shaped opening feature, also known as the remote pocket opener.
The Wave is a hook curving out the top of the knife's blade. When removing the knife from a front pocket the Wave catches the pocket's edge quickly moving the knife blade into the ready to use. The knife can also be taken out of the pocket without engaging the Wave Opening Feature by pulling it straight up and out with your fingers on top of the closed blade.
Both knives features a textured G-10 front scale that offers a secure grip and the handle back is made of black-oxide coated stainless steel. Frame lock. Opens with the thumb disk or Wave opening feature. The pocket clip is reversible/removable with a tip-up carry position. The 8Cr13Mov blades have a black-oxide coating and a hardness of 58-60 Rc.
Coyote Brown G-10 Handle. 3-1/4" drop point blade. Measures 4-1/8" closed. Weighs 4.2 oz. Suggested retail $61.20.

Kershaw Knives
Kershaw Knives was founded in 1974 in Portland, Oregon when knife salesman Pete Kershaw started a cutlery company that would make knives from his designs. Japanese based KAI Cutlery manufactured those designs. In 1978, KAI Cutlery purchased Kershaw Knives and the company, renamed KAI USA Ltd., continues today with three product lines; including the original Kershaw Knives, Zero Tolerance Knives, and Shun Cutlery which primarily markets kitchen cutlery.
Over the years, Kershaw Knives has worked with several custom knifemakers. Cutlery Hall of Famer Ken Onion, a custom knife maker and inventor of the “SpeedSafe” assisted opening mechanism, is the premier knife designer for Kershaw Knives. Kershaw has also collaborated with custom knifemakers Grant and Gavin Hawk, Frank Centofante, and Ernest Emerson. Kershaw has released models that were developed in collaboration with National Geographic, Jeep, Orange County Choppers, the American Professional Rodeo Association, and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.
Kershaw manufactures excellent knives and has built a very strong customer fan base due to their innovative designs and their quality control.
