EDC Knives: Emerson Mini A-100

[@BlazeBerger]

I'm sold. Just ordered a full sized a 100 as the minis are currently sold out. As a weekend woodworker I've grown to love a chisel grind on a knife. Being able to lay an edge flat on the primary bevel and get the secondary bevel right where you want it is extremely handy. I'm used to "abusing" my fixed blades but I'm very interested in having a folder that I can use without worry. Love your testing videos, really made me second guess my carrying habits. Thanks for shaking up the EDC community.

So I finally picked up a miniA-100. I think I told you that I grabbed a full size a-100 a few weeks ago. I loved it, but passed it on to find something else. I signed up for the mini a-100 email drop a while back, and got a notification they were in stock a few days ago! It just got here today! It’s pretty awesome!

Love hearing that!

I got 2 mini a-100s that are limited edition, they got some kinda Japanese riding on the clip that is a steel flame clip, I was told it was rare. Also says 50 were made. It also has a right hand chisel edge.

Got one last night. Sweet blade!

[@ericasedc]

Do you like it!?

[@dualsportoutdoors]

@@ericasedc enough so that I’ll probably get another one at some point to throw into a bug out bag or something

[@Leiter85]

I’m jumping on the next drop! Had a large in all black and it was a bit too much. Mini satin looks to be perfect. Thanks for your review! They’re always great!

[@adamlong2732]

I definitely need one of these. Great video

[@qwertyytrewq98765]

Where are the scales from? Did quite catch it in the vid. They are beautiful.

[@Luke-pb4pc]

Just got one of these pos I love them so much

[@bryancbailey]

Just got my first mini a100… would you recommend a toothy edge or a higher grit edge? (I’ve got Diamond stones from 100-2200 grit on my wicked edge sharpener) keep up the great work!

[@knifeaddict1014]

That would be totally up to you and what your gonna use it for?

[@frankmorrelli9409]

Hello Erica , can you suggest someone who does micarta scales for the a100 knife ?

[@ericasedc]

Andrew-Fastlt1nos on Instagram!

[@knifeaddict1014]

Where you get that bead and the scales?

[@johnpaulalbrecht7305]

my problem with this is how soft the steel is.

[@pauljosephbuggle3722]

Very well argued and I buy into the whole concept. I particularly liked the toughness/geometry element. Although I have zero experience with this knife, I am put off by the thumb disc. That knife won't say no, but that disc just might. That's the Achilles heel.

[@Luke-pb4pc]

You can take the disk off and use it without or get a small one

[@knifeaddict1014]

Where did you get the disc?

[@Luke-pb4pc]

Also got a oversized thumb disk in damasteel

[@bobdegutis302]

I don’t get those deep carry clips. I tried it once and the screws under the clip want to tear up my pocket. No one cares if a little pocket knife protrudes.

[@joftongson4247]

Love this!

[@ajacks8007]

You say these are shudder duck scales? I love them

[@ericasedc]

The Shutter Doug! He stopped making them though I think ):

[@ajacks8007]

@@ericasedc all good thanks for the response! I love mine almost as much as I love your videos!👊🏻

[@ericasedc]

@@ajacks8007 you are such a love!!! Thanks for the support!

[@craigmiller8654]

Had one, horrible. Felt like a couple pieces of 80 grit was used for washers. Poor quality, expensive. My Benchmade 970 CQC7'S I carried in the early/mid 90's, far better quality and less expensive. ZT, doin' Emerson better than Emerson does...

[@Luke-pb4pc]

Really mine feels amazing

[@dualsportoutdoors]

Craig, you clearly never actually owned one

[@javiergarza5140]

@@dualsportoutdoors 😂 right!?

[@patrickmccrea3455]

Yeah I just went and looked at blade HQ they dont even list this knife how do I get one?

[@dualsportoutdoors]

They’re available on Emerson’s site right now!

[@kirkveesaert9595]

Neat !

[@knifeaddict1014]

Clip info please!!!

[@deadpoollee9497]

Maybe for 80$. Emerson truly over priced.....I own several!

[@Luke-pb4pc]

Mine is super fall shutty

[@jamescope4831]

I'd give anything to find one of these knives, without paying 500+
