Necessity is the mother of invention!

[@robertrhinehart4779]

Quicker than an auto knife! The wave feature is the best thing to happen to folders….ever!

[@rustyknifelover4463]

Emerson is a class act.

[@quantdoc]

I have a Spyderco Delica and an Endura with the wave feature. My favorite carries.

Years before the Emerson wave Cold Steel had the pocket opener on their Ti-Lite Knife.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I am almost certain that The Cold Steel feature came out after Ernest created the Wave. Everything I could find online supports that. In fact, a lot of people accused Lynn Thompson of copying Emerson's idea. That's the best I could determine anyway.

[@JJ-qi9zn]

@@SurvivalOnPurpose The Ti-Lite came out in the 1990's. Emerson was still working for Benchmade. The first Ti-Lite was titanium handled with an Aus 8 blade.

[@JJ-qi9zn]

Also this is like Tops introducing at Blade Show this year the AMPAT first responder Knife another clone of the Cold Steel AK-47 Field Knife except Tops put a fuller on theirs.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I will defer to your expertise in the subject.

@@JJ-qi9zn The first production Commanders were released in 1998. Development took place before that. I'd be curious to know what the actual date was on the first Ti-Lite...

Ugh... Emerson knives are such hot garbage

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Different strokes...
