This year’s knife industry trends appear to be
leaning toward making functionality fun and techie with folding knife
features like the Emerson opening feature leading the parade.
Popularized and patented by
Ernest Emerson of Emerson Knives, the opening feature is a hook curving
out the blade’s spine that catches the edge of your pant’s pocket when
drawing the knife. It quickly opens the knife blade so it’s locked and
ready to use.
The fact there is a learning
curve in using the opening feature makes this trainer applicable.
