Kershaw Emerson CQC-7K

The Kershaw CQC-7K is a proven, award-winning design that combines Emerson’s functional style with Kershaw’s precision engineering. Winner of the Blade Show 2014 Best Buy award, it’s built for reliable everyday carry and outdoor use.

It features a modified American tanto blade that delivers strong slicing performance along with excellent piercing capability, making it a versatile option for a wide range of tasks. The blade is made from 8Cr14MoV steel, offering a solid balance of edge retention, strength, and corrosion resistance, while the two-tone finish pairs a satin upper with a stonewashed grind for a tough, work-ready look.

The handle combines a textured G10 front scale with a stainless steel back, giving you a secure and comfortable grip in hand. A solid frame lock keeps the blade firmly in place during use, adding strength and confidence to the overall build.

Designed for quick deployment, the knife can be opened manually with the thumb disk or using the Emerson Wave Shaped Feature, allowing it to open as it’s drawn from your pocket. A reversible pocket clip makes it suitable for both left- and right-handed carry, making it an easy, dependable option for everyday use.
