Good video,I recently got all 3 models ,the mini ,standard and the super .The mini and standard in the thunderstorm finish,the super is in satin. They were out of the TS for the super
Michael Montalbano Emerson uses Nylatron washers and it’s part of the design. Like Hinderer using Teflon exclusively, until recently. Both are chemically resistant, tough, are not damaged if they’re mishandled or pinched during assembly, etc If you do prefer PB, they’re easily swapped in. Just hit up McMasters
Alchemy_1 mcmasters what? WhTs the site...? and do you see a issue with plastic washers long term? I want to switch out my benchmade 940 for this but I’ve heard there can be some cc issues. Thanks
www.mcmaster.com/ is Lowes, Home Depot, and every mom and pop hardware store in your area combined and then some. If it is hardware related, Mcmaster’s sells it. The washers aren’t plastic. The Emerson washers are closer to fabric than plastic and the reason Emerson chose Nylatron and Hinderer chose Teflon is because of the long lasting qualities both possess. Both require more time to break in than PB, but that’s it. CC issues? Fit and finish? Overblown internet here say. If you can live with Benchmade’s spotty fit and finish, you’ll find any of the Emerson stuff made in the past decade more consistent and a step up.
I ordered one before I finished watching. Great video. I subbed too!

A Ray 👊
great video. like the gray thumb disc.
AL Mowatt Thanks, man 👊
Where you get your disc?
OMG, where do I get this knife?
With a little luck to be honest 😎
Do you still own it? Have been trying hard to get it, but nowhere to be found.
Great video. Is the bevel changed on your old A100? It looks like it.
jmcrawf1 The angle on the 2017 and the 2018 mini’s is lower (the secondary bevel is steeper) than years past.
Centering can be fixed.
C-Note Mac Yeah, the pivot needs a bit of a turn. I just didn’t do it here. The video was already getting long and I didn’t have a screwdriver.
I’d like to buy one of the mini a100 if u ever want to sell one
tap42al Roger that
Back in stock on their website
On the updated version, are they still using plastic washers or are the finally phosphorus?

Are you able to put the “we the people” Emerson clip on a Spyderco Para 2? The holes look similar but would like to know before I buy it thanks:)
No, it won’t fit but they might make similar ones for spyderco on eBay somewhere
nick mitchell Matthew is correct.
GEC Grinlings still available? Please tell me where ?
James Kerlin No sir. I scored this on the secondary last year. I paid dearly 😂😂😂
Would you consider selling one of the mini’s or even trading for it?
peter stow Just replied to you over on IG. 👊
Mail me that Grinlin 😂😎
All they did was back off the pivot screw at the factory. Tighten the screw a hair and it will center!
Thank you. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
Please sell me one the are so Hard to Come by in germany :(
Daniel M. Sorry, man. That sucks. They’re not for sale though.
-1 for not going ahead and centering the blade.
The thumb docs alone is enough to turn me off. Makes the back half of the blade unusable
Pete gray has some great double knurled “normal” size thumb disk
Junk
philsalvage Thank you for the view and comment 🙏
