Kershaw 6034T Emerson CQC-7K 4.5 Inch Framelock Knife

The Kershaw Emerson CQC-7K is a collaboration with Ernest Emerson, holds a 3.25-inch bead-blasted 8Cr14MoV tanto blade with the signature Emerson Wave feature integrated into the spine, closing to 4.5 inches.

That Wave feature, a small hook on the back of the blade, catches on a pocket edge during the draw, deploying the knife automatically as it comes out of the pocket without touching the thumb stud at all. The tanto blade shape adds piercing strength, a reinforced tip and high point angle that push through tougher material than a standard drop point handles as cleanly. The knife sets a textured black G10 front handle with a 410 stainless back handle finished bead-blast, a durable combination that balances grip texture with rigid structural support. A frame lock secures the blade with the rigid, play-free lockup machined-metal locking bars are known for. The tanto point and Wave feature together make this variant a popular pick among Emerson collectors and everyday carriers alike.

Kershaw backs the CQC-7K with the same limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship that covers the full lineup, confidence in a design shaped around one of the tactical knife world's most respected names. Explore more Framelock Knives.
