A TACTICAL TANTO DESIGNED BY EMERSON, BUILT BY KERSHAW
Kershaw Knives and Emerson Knives have joined forces on a series of knives that combine the precision engineering of Kershaw with Emerson's uncompromising functional design.
The CQC-8K features a single-bevel tanto blade—which means it is razor sharp. Black-oxide coating protects the blade and makes it non-reflective, too. G-10 handles provide secure grip and a locking liner means safe and solid blade lock up.
The CQC-8K is a manual opener using either the thumb disk or the patented Emerson "wave shaped feature." This opening feature enables the knife to be opened as it is removed from the pocket. By the time the knife has been fully withdrawn from the pocket, the blade is deployed and ready for use. A small wave-shaped tab on the top of the blade is built to catch on the pocket seam, opening the knife as it comes out of the pocket. This instant-open feature is a favorite among military, rescue, and law enforcement knife users.
Features
Manual - There is no mechanical assist, such as SpeedSafe, used to open the folding knife. It opens the classic, old-school way.
Liner Lock - Locks the blade open during use; one side of the knife's steel “liner,” the steel plate to which the handle scales are attached, moves into position behind the blade to securely lock it open.
Reversible - Pre-drilled holes in the handle enable the user to change either the tip position or the side on which the knife carries.
8Cr Stainless Steel
One of the most common budget stainless steels, it maintains a competitive combination of edge retention and toughness in its price range.
Pocket Clip
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
G10 Handles
Formed in a sheet under high pressure by combining fiberglass and an epoxy resin binder. These handles are lightweight and shaped to ensure a solid grip.

Kershaw Emerson 6044TBLK CQC-8K Folding Knife 3.5" Black Tanto Blade, Black G10 Handles
The "Kershaw Emerson 6044TBLK CQC-8K Folding Knife 3.5" Black" is a practical and useful tool,primarily for self defense,camping and handy-man projects (as in DIY) ambitions).The ingenious wave-catch structure allows the knife to be deployed even faster than a switch blades---that l do consider a game changer.One steady motion from the right pocket gets it at the ready in under a second.Switch Blades are illegal in my home state,yet low-and-behold,this darn knife is faster than a Switch Blade! A great overall knife that has a tactical look in their black-version.I can recommend this cool pocket knife to anyone.

Pros: Ease of Opening, Pocket Clip, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: None
Solid
This is a great camp pocket knife, hefty handle that fills the hand great. Not the biggest fan of a single bevell edge but easy to sharpen. Only thing I don't like is the pocket flipper. I've cut my hand a few because it likes to open even taken out slowly. But it's worth the buck to me.

Pros: Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Handle Feel
$40 emerson!
Bam! Deal! Well made, good materials, cheap, albeit linerlock. True chisel grind, sharp as heck, sweet little knife. Would be nicer in satin, frame lock. Thicker blade stock wouldn't hurt. Otherwise0: heaven. I've seen some folk remark that the piece ain't sharp. They just don't know these knives! I got 2, and they are both razors. $40 each! Can't beat it. I carried cqc-7s for about 6 years as primary tactical folder. Still carry a chisel ground Fellhoelter FATF half of the time, lots of custom Hartsfield, Emerson, Horton, Dwyer & Ryan chisel grinds. But $40? Abuse time!
