Greaser, thanks for review.

In my limited experience with Emersons I'd guess that the Kershaw/Emerson collaboration folders, even thought they're cheap, F&F of them would be better than on Emersoms. I got 2, fairly recent manufacture '11 and '12, and was really disappointed with F&F.
Scales and liners were not aligned, the back spacer was sticking out, and the locks of both were barely engaging.
I put in some time and fixed what I could and they function properly now, but in my eyes the're not worth the price.

Recently I got my hands on CRK Umnumzaan, and that is a great knife, F&F is nearly perfect. I'ts on a larger size, might look for a small Szbenza in the future for more EDC size, but it's light and pocketable.
