True to its name, the Emphasis™ takes all the proven features and benefits of the best-selling Efficient™ and "emphasizes" them in a longer, more capable format. At the same time, it keeps the design's “cockpit”—the key dimensional relationships of the pivot, lock, and Trademark Round Hole™—consistent with the original. The knife’s ergonomic design centers around a full-flat-ground drop-point blade made from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel. Its gently curved spine flows seamlessly into the handle, which is built with full, skeletonized stainless steel liners, peel-ply-textured G-10 scales, and a stainless steel back spacer. The handle’s liners form the foundation of its sturdy LinerLock mechanism and anchor a black-coated deep-pocket wire clip that is reversible to support ambidextrous tip-up carry. This workhorse design is available in both PlainEdge™ and partially serrated CombinationEdge™ formats.
