Man so many models you guys are saying, it's like asking what's the best episode of the simpsons I guess it all depends on the user and the task in which they are using it
Tom Krein did the zero regrind on the blade and THIS is my fav Emerson.

That is the problem with asking "what's the best" anything. One mans best is another mans worst.
IMO the CQC-8 is "the best" knife Emerson make, it's not my favorite and it's not the best looking but it is the best user.
It has enough blade to be of use in a number roles but isn't so big it gets in the way. The some what "commader-esc" handle is great is any grip position and makes for a nice comfortable knife. The knife is quite long closed but it's slim so it carries well. The blade shape is a classic and has been used for along time. It's easy to sharpen and can handle every thing from bushcraft to kitchen duties to cutting up bad guys.
There you have it, get the 8
