• 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• By the time the knife has been fully withdrawn from the pocket, the blade is deployed and ready for use.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.
• The pocketclip is reversible for left- or right-handed carry.
