The Emerson CQC-7 is very similar in design to the CQC-6, with a slightly larger blade, and a more useful handle. The handle has both a palm swell, and a parrot beak at the butt of the handle, to allow for better control in difficult situations or when you are wet. Of note is the fact that the CQC-7 was chosen by Benchmade as a production knife, that eventually became one of, and perhaps the best selling knives in the company's history. This Ernie Emerson custom, bolstered, CQC-7, features a hand-ground, satin finished blade with a chisel grind, bead blasted titanium bolsters and liners, green Micarta scales, and a black G-10 backspacer. The pocket clip is stainless and set for tip up carry. It also has Ernie's Wave feature, a thumbdisc, a domed pivot pin, and sports the Emerson Diamond logo. This is a hard-to-find model, and highly collectible. The 7 does not come up for sale very often in the secondary market. It was purchased direct from an Emerson Lottery, at a Blade Show a few years ago. It has been stored in a safe since acquired. The lock-up is rock solid, and the blade is perfectly seated for a chisel grind. The blade pivot is a little tight - it really hasn't been opened at all, until these pictures. It is in Brand New, Mint Condition. Comes in the original Emerson box. This one won't last long, folks!
