@@koDaffiI’ve waved from my pocket thousands of time and there’s no damage. And it’s absolutely faster, it comes out deployed. I’d you do it slowly you’ll see it’s not dangerous. To each their own but it’s handy
Not necessarily true, the deployment on this is a lot more simple than with fixed blades and their sheathes across the board. You don’t need to clip it to your pocket/belt, this deploys and locks from your pocket no matter how its resting in it. “Still not as fast as my fixed blade 🤓” like that’s a literal maybe.
@@kakashi1234777 “it’s not what I carry for self defense” is a favorite knife guy line rn and I’ll ask you kindly to spare me it. But yea it will simply vary person to person
@@Jadoreilove do you have a fixed blade? You grab the Handle and pull. Boom it’s out. How is that less simple then grab it twist it slightly so the hook catches the pocket liner and then pull out with the tension popping the knife open. How is that more simple than grab and pull. Yeah some fixed blades (particularly older styles will have a snap. I never have mine snapped when I’m carrying my Bowie and if it’s a kydex sheath then you don’t ever need a snap it maintains plenty of retention. The hook has to catch the line of the pocket to work. So you have to pull it out a specific way so it does matter how it’s resting in it. It’s gotta be clipped using the pocket clip and in the right position. Not going to work right if it’s just chilling in the bottom of my pocket and I just whip it out. Okay a nerd emoji? Yes because all nerds are know for carrying hip mounted fixed blades. A very common stereotype. So we’ll known 🙄. Any knife with an action of any kind will be slower. Because a fixed blade doesn’t have to deploy. It’s always deployed. As a base.

That’s still the case - every knife-order will be age verified when it's placed, but the new law goes a step further. From 6th April 2022, the law makes it an offence to deliver a knife to anyone under 18, at a residential address.

When I was going into middle school my grandfather taught me this. Kids in the great depression, when he was growing up, would do this with their pocket knives and put a piece of folded up plating card in between the blade to hold it slightly open to catch the tip on the pocket. Never needed it but was a big life lesson for me and I know he just wanted me to be prepared.
Ernie Emerson is a fuckin God! If he doesn't do anything for the rest of his life he'll still have done more for the pocket knife than 99% of the knife makers alive today. I mean the guys still putting recurves on knives and they still always sell, thats saying something :).
You even capitalized God too? Why blaspheme the name of the One who sent His only begotten Son down who never did anything wrong to be killed for sinners like me and you? He loved you enough to be flogged and crucified for you. I know nobody is perfect and everyone sins but apologize, because that’s what we are called to do when we mess up.
Oof, I see a lot folks complaining about needing to twist and pinch, and make sure it snags your pocket, and its not faster than a fixed blade......yada yada yada. I have both emerson wave openers, and fixed blades. Every type of knife has its draw backs. I edc a Spyderco Matriarch 2 from time to time. Once I broke it in, it opens fast, automatically, and I almost don't even feel it yanking at my pants (office slacks, more often than not). I love me a good fixed blade, but theres times where I don't want to carry a fixed blade, and an emerson wave is a great in-between for the defensive and survival readiness of a fixed blade and subtlety of a useful folder.

You better get a second job to replace all the pants that you're going to rip the pockets out of if you go this route. I'd rather just adjust the pivot and use a good lube to allow for quick deployment.
@@aaronboo8172 :- Sounds good but the Wave feature tends to grab even when you are trying for a more traditional and slow removal. It can be dangerous and evrn frightening to have it deploy when not expecting it .
I have done it with knives that have a similar "wave" feature over and over again just for the fun of it and it doesn't do anything to my jeans, even to my sweatpants. Everyone that says it rips their pants probably has that hook as sharp as a gut hook, or have pretty flimsy pants.
I carry a nice handmade 7 inch Damascus fixed blade, made a kydex sheith that sets horizontally on my belt so it isn’t uncomfortable while seated and I can access it easily from all positions. If my back is pushed up against a wall and I can’t draw my firearm from my 4 o’clock position I can draw my horizontally mounted knife located at 2-3 o’clock very easily and start poking holes. Also the horizontal mounting position conceals a 7 inch knife very well, most of the time I keep my shirt tucked behind it to make it easier to draw unless I’m in a place that probably would frown upon someone carrying a knife. I also carry a Milwaukee fastback box blade for utility. Don’t wanna mess up that nice Damascus fixed blade cutting stupid shit. Screw folders for self defense. Seems like one more failure point on a weapon that should be your backup. If that knife is getting pulled out it’s because I can’t reach my gun ,I don’t have time to draw or I have a major malfunction of the firearm.
Yeah..but it’s only faster if it’s pulled out “at just the right angle”..if not, it’s slower & you’re f#cked ! 🤷♂️😂😂 .. what it needs is a purpose made clip on sheath that deploys the blade 100% of the time, when it’s drawn..it’s not exactly rocket science !
What matters the most to me is rigidity, and for a folding knife I’ve found no better than the CRKT M16-14. A) It’s always sold under $100, usually around $80. B) CRKT quality material and design, the blade is 4in long to ensure one can hit vitals in a self defense situation. C) It has a double locking system to ensure the blade stays fixed open when you want it to. D) Quick deploying the blade is easy by flicking the short sides that also act as a small guard for your hand. It’s the best knife for EDC that I’ve found so far
“When pulling the knife out of your pocket AT JUST THE RIGHT ANGLE.” I assume there are mor wrong angles than correct ones. Having a design that is meant to snag and catch on material seems like a terrible idea for a self defense weapon.
*robber pulls knife* *knife flicks out immediately* *Victim pulls out a grenade from their pocket* *the spoon flies away* *the pin wasn’t attached when it was pulled out* So you chose cowabunga.
Love my Emerson Sheepdog. Really doesn’t need this because the action is so smooth. Finally wore down the G10 so it doesn’t destroy my pockets. Easy to sharpen and the finger guard means I don’t even have to look at the thing when I’m closing it. Used for work tasks, but I know it’s capable enough in a bind. Just don’t want to use it. Probably use the handle before anything. Hammer fists go brrr.
With any folder except the wave you HAVE to pull the knife out of your pocket BEFORE you can deploy it, this is as fast as a fixed blade, and I would dare to say that a nail nick knife is as fast as a butterfly knife which making a butterfly knife illegal a joke except mabe the length because it's the slowest of them all, very cool and flashy but someone will have you're throat cut before you can open a butterfly knife to get it ready to use especially something like the CIVIVI INSCISOR 2 in a reverse grip with a ring on the knife. Please guys dont get me wrong because butterfly knives are very cool but for in an emergency where speed is of the utmost importance it isn't nearly as fast, the best thing you could do first with it is leave it closed and use it as a blunt force weapon which can be very devastating and if you get the upper hand like that fast could end the altercation WITHOUT someone getting killed or life altering injury. Best thing to do is just to stay away from places and people where that would likely to happen though you never know. Stay safe and God bless.

Meh, I'd loosen em slightly and keep it oiled, flicks open like silk and it don't make that noise that'd warn a wary smart foe, "never let em know you have it till AFTER you've used it" in the words of my grandfather who'd fought the Germans trench to trench bunker to bunker and walked away banged up but whole, "the lessons of war are best taken from those who've fought and won them"
Too bad the tip broke and you guys refused to replace it even know it’s “fully replaceable” as long you follow the TOS which I did to no prevail gooooood company 😉 also the clips destroy your pants
Well it would seem as if having the knife deploy as it leaves your pocket is faster than deploying it after it leaves your pocket… Who woulda thunk it?
I still bet my wrist dagger would get you first. It’s not a assassins creed bs set up that’s fake and bulky and loud and noticable. Has a small retainer. 4 inches. Press the button by pressing your wrist to it flat palmed and it springs a dagger with three finger grips as you’re throwing or winding a punch or just spring it in your hand during a struggle or something. Or you know I could probably just use my fixed blade the same. If I have it on I always rest my hand behind the handle like a shelf for it to relax. And just post up like that everywhere. Like a friend drew a picture of me standing like that with our other friends like it was picture of us all. Kinda cool picture idea.
Imagine just pulling out your knife to cut a cardboard box or something and suddenly not only have you ruined your 60$ jeans. But you also have a deep bleeding gash in your leg
Kinda defeats the purpose of a flick knife though. That quick little wrist flick that you do to open the knife is a great intimidator. The same as drawing a knife from a sheath or a sword from a scabbard. Just having an open blade appear in your hand isn't visually scary.
I can say with full serenity that any foldable knife should have Emerson wave I got my first knife with the Emerson wave when I was about twelve and Emerson wave combat karambit with the g10 scales and let me tell you that has been through my entire life been the fastest opening knife I've ever owned faster than any automatic anyting put out on today's market anything from Spyderco to kingilo knifes
Looks like something i, and no one who actually uses a pocket knife regularly, would actually want or use.. it seems dangerous and unnecessary.. also i love that it says combat position over the karambit 😂 yall play too much csgo
Be faster than fixed blades even. Just gotta move the knife an inch before the blade it fully deployed, vs h/e many inches you have for a blade on the fixed. Marginally faster, but still faster.

Auto knives are slow compared to just slightly practicing with a well designed folder. I love them but they are slower and usually more delicate
Imagine just pulling out your knife to cut a cardboard box or something and suddenly not only have you ruined your 60$ jeans. But you also have a deep bleeding gash in your leg
Kinda defeats the purpose of a flick knife though. That quick little wrist flick that you do to open the knife is a great intimidator. The same as drawing a knife from a sheath or a sword from a scabbard. Just having an open blade appear in your hand isn't visually scary.
English people have quickdraw?
They should make a fixed blade with an Emerson Wave 😂
I can say with full serenity that any foldable knife should have Emerson wave I got my first knife with the Emerson wave when I was about twelve and Emerson wave combat karambit with the g10 scales and let me tell you that has been through my entire life been the fastest opening knife I've ever owned faster than any automatic anyting put out on today's market anything from Spyderco to kingilo knifes
I have ax Emerson butterfly knife and this don’t work lmao
Looks like something i, and no one who actually uses a pocket knife regularly, would actually want or use.. it seems dangerous and unnecessary.. also i love that it says combat position over the karambit 😂 yall play too much csgo
Be faster than fixed blades even. Just gotta move the knife an inch before the blade it fully deployed, vs h/e many inches you have for a blade on the fixed. Marginally faster, but still faster.
Sir! This is the police! Put down your weapon! I said put down your weapon! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! DED
Had my Kershaw emerson for years and it’s still serving me fine. The common Philips and flat head screws make maintenance a breeze too.
