How's about this blade another Emerson knife I wish I owned! Emerson developed the SSDS model: a larger, hooked blade with a serrated, doubled-edged spine. This blade's profile resembled the horn of a Rhinoceros and its more popular name is the Rhino. The blade folded below the level of the handle scales so the user could not be cut by this extra edge, a small hole drilled through both handle scales and liners allowed the blade to be held in place so it would not open on a parachute jump and cause harm to the operator. Although the knife functioned perfectly in the field, its final design was too extreme for the Navy

Emerson's knives are featured in mystery, spy, military, action, and adventure novels. At least seven of Richard Marcinko's Rogue Warrior novels (Red Cell, Green Team, Task Force Blue, Detachment Bravo, SEAL Force Alpha, Violence of Action and Holy Terror) prominently feature Emerson's knives (CQC6 or CQC7) as a regularly carried piece of equipment.
The protagonist, Marcinko, uses an Emerson CQC6 or CQC7 on various occasions. On page 175 of Task Force Blue, Marcinko remarks that his CQC6 was a "personal gift from Ernie Emerson, himself".

THE WAY I SEE IT
November 10, 2009
It Was Terror
I am not politically correct. I refuse to be intimidated. I am not scared of Islam, Muslims, or any other group that exists on this earth. It was an act of terror and he was a Muslim. Are they related? You’re damn right they are. And I don’t need all the facts to be in. Knowing what shoe he tied first is just a smokescreen to hope this all goes away as quietly as possible.
This is the way I see it.
1.He was a Muslim
2.He was constant in his opposition against the US and the Military actions in Muslim countries – against fellow Muslims.
3.He glorified the ideal of suicide bombers.
4.He has been listening to the sermons of one of the most radical clerics of Islamic Fundamentalism via the internet in Yemen.
5.He tried to contact Al Qaeda. Two things here; If he’d gotten through do you think they would have told him to stand down? 2nd If I’d tried to call Heinrich Himmler during World War II would I have been consorting with the enemy? And what was the purpose of such a call. Does anyone believe that he was going to counsel Al Qaeda leaders to be kinder and gentler or was he looking for advice or affirmation? You tell me.
6.He was shouting Allah Akbar as he killed those innocent soldiers. Where have we seen and heard that before?
7.If this was because he was despondent about being deployed why didn’t he just shut himself in a room and blow his own brains out? Maybe AWOL would have been a better cowards choice. He was going to commit suicide. Suicide by cop at least. He knew there was no way he was going to escape. So it was an act of Jihadist terror to kill infidels, moreover, the infidel soldiers so he could become a martyr in his death. It just didn’t quite have the finish he was seeking.
8.Whether he acted alone or not does not matter to me. It doesn’t matter if there was not one single other person involved in his act. He was driven by his Islamic faith and by the glory and honor given to terrorists around the world by radical Islam time and time again. We can call a guy who burns a bunch of cars in a parking lot an eco-terrorist. We can call someone who kills an abortion doctor a religious terrorist. We can call a drug cartel assassin a Narco-terrorist. Yet, someone in Washington is scared to death to put the words Muslim and terrorist in the same room let alone in the same sentence.
It’s time this administration man up. It’s time for this administration to accept responsibility. It’s time for this administration to admit that it happened on their watch.
Nidel Malik Hasan was a terrorist.
Nidal Malik Hasan committed a cowardly terrorist act.
It was a Muslim Terrorist Act.
These soldiers, these Americans who were killed and wounded deserve the truth. Anything less is a dishonor to their memory.

Hey Guys...I was talking to a Special Agent from I.C.E. (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) today. When in walks Custom Knife-Maker Thomas Mayo. The Agent was buying a knife from him.
Anyway, as those situations go inevitably the talk comes around to "what are you carrying." When I mentioned I had a CQC-11 Tom says, "I'm seing Ernie (Emerson) in Vegas next month. I say at the USN (Usual Suspects Network) 1st Annual Gathering. He ask if I was going. I had grudgingly say no...the Wifey is smart enough not trust me to go to Vegas alone.
Anyway, Tom volunteers to mention me to Ernie and bring me back something from Emerson. I hope this pans out. Normally I don't "pine" over celebrities or say the "POTUS" Secret Service-speak for President of the United States. But, Knife Community Royalty like Tom Mayo and Ernest Emerson...that's a no-brainer..I would rather talk to them.
I'll let you know what I get...if anything.

The only thing I can think of is adjusting the pivot point but, you probably already tried that. Sorry, haven't experienced what you described...have you gone back to where you got it for an exchange?

"Emerson Knives has a solid granite, if not legendary, status among the world's elite military and Law Enforcement agencies. This is a hard earned and much honored reputation for Emerson Knives. We fought tooth and nail for this reputation every step of the way, and we will not relinquish it. This status is the result of the way that we design our knives, the way we build our knives and the way we do our business. We know that your life, the life of a partner, teammate, or a loved one may depend on the use of that Emerson knife in a time of crisis. Emerson Knives is a serious company run by serious people. That's the attitude we have about our knives, our work, and our responsibility to you."
"I will stand toe to toe with any other company on earth to defend it."
