All my “backup” blades are Emerson with the wave feature. Strong, sturdy dependable knives. The backup backup is now a Benchmade bailout That I’ve “modified” by removing all the grip screws and that stupid lanyard loop. I’ve replaced them with anodized titanium screws and backspacer (gets rid of the lanyard loop). On our digital kitchen scales, it now as modified weighs 2.2oz. It feels a lot better in my hand now and also better balanced than it was. It will be carried “next to the skin” in various places.
No, I’m NOT paranoid, just cautious. Remember the Boy Scout Motto.
