It looks like Kershaw has just copied a Rough Rider knife, and quadrupled the price or more. I doubt they will make it out of a better steel coming from China. Do You???? Kershaw has demonstrated they can’t even come up with their own original designs. I suggest knife owners look at the vast assortment of Rough Rider knives offered at a much lower price tag. Especially look at the Rough Rider fishing knife offered at about $10.00, while case offers it at about $45.00 and up. The Rough Rider is built much more sturdy, and with more features. I, especially, like the serrated fish scaler. Something Case never has offered, and I had to hone to make an effective tool. I have several Rough Rider knives and the steel is of good quality holding an edge well, and easy to tune up with a steel or strop without having to re-sharpen. Can’t do that with many knives, like Case, Gil Hibben, or Buck. The only comparable blade is a Schrade and Morakniv. Isn’t it interesting that the cheapest of knives are the best knives!!!!

Take it from this old American Indian. Go to a Rough Rider, Schrade or Morakniv for a good dependable knife, and save money. Don’t pay for name recognition!!!! Stay away from Gerber and Buck. They are junk!!!!

In reply to Michael. How the knifes profile on the blade , will it keep an edge after sharping ? I'm not a huge fan of most Kershaw knifes because of the steel used . But I'm a Huge fan of Emerson knifes . So im thinking of going ahead and purchasing the the Kershaw/Emerson 6k to see how I like the steel used with the collaboration, until I can further gather the expenses needed to purchase a better high quality Emerson. To add to my knife collection.

I have a half-dozen of the Kershaw Emersons and the 6034 — the 6k — is my favorite of the bunch. The 6034t is the tanto version of this model.

The review is spot on except that the blade is 3.25 inches, not 3 inches.

There is no way you’d mistake the 6k for an assisted opening knife. I much prefer this manual Kershaw-Emerson collab with its smooth-opening nylon washers.

Unlike many of Ernie Emerson’s models, this has no sticky lock and the blade is well-centered.

Highly recommended.
