I own a lot of Emerson knives. This is hands down my favorite next to my lefty CQC-6. The Gael is amazing and I look forward to many years of carrying it.
Great piece of steel. Sharp, sturdy and just looks purdy in my hand. Joking aside, this is to replace a dumba** thing I did with my previous one from Emerson. So, buying it a second time to replace the first should say a lot. I like the look, how it feels in my hand and if I ever did need it for more than cutting wood/string/rope, I know it could handle the job as a self defense choice.
Simple zip up no frills hoodie because there not needed, a black hoodie goes with everything and the Emerson branding and design on the back is enough to let everyone know your and Emerson guy without looking like a try hard.
It’s a clip nothing too special. Fits well. Strong. But a bit spendy for what it is.
Love how much easier it is to index and deploy and Even though my cqc7 is non-wave, this .45 button catches on the top of my pocket and automatically deploys it just the same. Am thinking about placing a brass washer under it to raise it up.
Been waiting sometime to get this knife. I wish I would have done it sooner instead of trying out some of the other brands. This is a solid knife that feels great in the hand and operates very smoothly with a great edge.
This is my new favorite knife! Built well, strong, sharp. Very happy with it.
Thank you for nice pocket clip for my CQC 8.
Emerson ddsigned a beauty if a piece to support St. Patties Day. Everyday leading up to the day feels like the luckk of the Irish to carry. It is authentic as can be.
So I ordered the Elvia. Its a nice piece of work that i have added to my edc. How ever I would have appreciated some nicer scales. I also noticed that mine lacked the Ed Calderon logo on the clip that I saw on many others. Im not says she isn't worth the time that was dedicated or the the money I spent. But its the little things.
everything about this folder screams quality. It feels comfortable in my hand, is easy opening and locks solidly. I couldn’t as for more. Many thanks to the team at Emerson. This is my first Emerson, but surely not my last.
First knife I’ve ever bought that feels like a tool in my hand rather than some thin razor sharp pos that chips the blade if you use it other than as a box cutter.
Cool knife; a real pig sticker; great Emerson quality. Due to the design, it isn’t tip heavy, which makes it slightly difficult to deploy with a simple flick of the wrist, but the thumb button and Emerson Wave work just fine. It’s my new left-handed EDC.
Glad to have one back in my pocket. Recent refinements are great (single detent, thumb ramp, new standoff).
I got my Mini A-100 last week and am really happy with it, I love the Thunderstorm finish on the blade.
I find the size to be just right for comfortable EDC and as with all Emersons the quality, fit and finish are outstanding.
Great knife after breaking in the lock stick. This was lock stick like I have never experienced, it was really bad, like terrible. It didn’t take long to get rid of it, just a couple days flicking it. No more lock stick, just a badass knife. I would definitely recommend, thanks Emerson!
This was my first Emerson purchase and they sure do not disappoint! What a great knife, love the wave feature!
I've wanted an emerson knife for a long time and finally got the mini sheepdog. One of the best hard use edc knife in my collection. Thank you
This put a smile on my face seeing this on the tree.
My first review might’ve been zero stars and that is so far from the truth. I love these knives and the quality. So I got me and the wife matching Elvia’s for Valentine’s Day. She loves hers. It’s her new EDC. Not only is the knife amazing but the customer service was exquisite. I asked these guys to not include a receipt because it’s a gift. They told me that all receipts are via emails so not to worry. They want to step further and on the packaging put Bob’s hamster supplies. Not only is it hysterical, but just shows the attention to detail these guys are awesome both as far as the quality of product that they put out and them as people. This is the third LB I bought from Emerson and it will not be the last. Thank you guys again for everything you do.
Since it is not available anywhere in Germany, I ordered directly. Delivered in 3 days. Even some German dealers can't manage that! Great knife, super sharp straight out of the box.
While I'm happy to have an ECA membership, I'm disappointed that my lifetime membership has become an annual membership at the same price. Hopefully free shipping and a discount on tee-shirts will make up for the extra $50 I need to budget for the annual subscription. The good news is that I love Emerson Knives and what they represent. I'm also an OBS member and honored to live up to the ideals espoused by the company's leadership.
I have had the A-100 for only a couple of weeks. It is a sharp sturdy knife, I would not be afraid of hard use. It fits well in my hand. A good purchase.
I saw previous reviews on the sheepdog and their disappointment about the sticky lockbar. I've been slowly working my knife in and it has started to loosen up. The flipper and bearings throw the blade out with authority, so plan for a break in period before you add this knife to your rotation.
