its not one of those but looks very similar. smaller blade? no wave, contoured g10 scales and different screw orientation.I saw that one too. I think its a snubby/ emerson cqc 14. Waveless of course.
the Emersons have the Philips screws for the clip.It's unmarked and has 3 different types of fasteners on it, so it's probably an inexpensive knife made in china.
I've never seen Philips screw on a good knife,plus one of the torx type screw for the scales on one side looks miss sized.
I didn't know that there were any high end knives using Philips screws, so I stand corrected on that point.its not one of those but looks very similar. smaller blade? no wave, contoured g10 scales and different screw orientation.

it appears that maybe its a different variant? would it be a custom? its possible its an inexpensive replica, but im not sure about that myself.
No, it is NOT an Emerson custom!! It looks like a knock off to me.
No markings at all?
Smells knockoff.
Modified blades will often lose markings.They don't stamp their blades ?
If they care about their knives they should make sure they'll always be identifiable.
If it was actually properly stamped and not just etched, I think that there would at least be some evidence on it left as the spot where it would be is still there.Modified blades will often lose markings.
