The Kershaw Emerson CQC-8K is an innovative folding knife that offers military-grade durability and precision engineering. Its razor-sharp, black-coated blade is paired with a rugged G-10 handle to provide superior grip and protection.
Featuring a single-bevel tanto blade that's sharp enough to shave with, you'll have no trouble tackling any task with ease. The black-oxide coating protects the blade and ensures it remains non-reflective in all lighting conditions.
What's truly remarkable about this knife is its patented Emerson "wave-shaped feature." Its manual opening mechanism can be smoothly initiated using either the thumb disk or the wave-shaped tab, allowing you to instantly deploy the blade as you're pulling it out of your pocket. Military, rescue, and law enforcement users love this design, and it proves its worth daily.
The knife's G-10 handle delivers a secure and comfortable grip, regardless of what you're cutting or the external conditions. The liner lock makes sure that the blade stays open when you're using it, with the added safety feature of locking the blade shut when it's not in use.
Specially designed to be reversible for left- or right-handed carry, it's easy to take this knife on the go, wherever you're headed.
