The Emerson CQC-7 BW 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 BW, features a hand-ground, satin finished blade with a chisel grind, bead blasted titanium bolsters and liners, green Micarta scales, and two (2) stainless steel standoffs as the backspacer. The pocket clip is stainless and set for tip up carry. It also has Ernie's Wave feature, a thumbdisc and a screw pivot pin. This is a hard-to-find model, and highly collectible. The CQC-7 does not come up for sale very often in the secondary market. It was purchased direct from the Emerson Lottery at the 2024 Nashville Custom Knife Show. The lock-up is rock solid, and the blade is perfectly seated for a chisel grind. Comes in the original Emerson box. This one won't last long, folks!
