With an Ernie Emrerson design and a modified tanto blade, the Kershaw Emerson CQC-7K is the perfect everyday carry knife. Made with high-performance 8Cr14MoV stainless steel, the 3.25-inch blade delivers excellent strength, edge retention and wear resistance. The razor-sharp, American tanto blade is designed for a full range of cutting tasks and is coated in both a satin and stonewashed finish for increased protection. Manual opening technology allows swift blade access, while the frame lock secures the blade in place. Designed with G-10 material and 410 stainless steel, the handle is contoured for a comfortable, secure grip. Use the small pocket knife as your everyday carry, or break it out for camping and hiking adventures. Kershaw was founded in 1974 to design and manufacture tools that knife users would be proud to own, carry and use. Whether it's a hardworking pocketknife, a hunting knife or a special collectors' edition, Kershaw always chooses appropriate, high-quality materials and is dedicated to intensive craftmanship.
