CQC-10 Passion --UPDATE!--

I actually went to the knife store for the cqc11. It sold just before I got there. I picked up the CQC10 as a fluke. I'm glad I did. It is so versatile.

Got both, love both, carry the 10 more because (a.) more versatile (b.) my 11 is a Krein Regrind and thus irreplaceable.
 
Just snagged another CQC-10 off the exchange (along with my first Mnandi), hopefully it will arrive towards the end of next week. Plain stonewash this time.

This evening I took my black combo down for cleaning (been a LONG time). Wanted a bit more retention, so I was adding some tension to the non-lock-side detente, and managed to pop the little nub out of it. Heard it land on some nearby paper, and after 40 minutes worth of crawling I found it!! Pushed it back in and she's better than new. Really is a fantastic knife. I'd kill for one without the blade hole and with a thumbdisk.
 
Wait, does the CQC-10 come in a version without thumb hole and with a thumb disc?

Thanks guys. Loving the new stonewash. I still have this fantasy about a CQC-10 with a chisel ground tanto blade (with thumbdisk). Unfortunately I have already been turned down by EKI. :(
 
That reminds me I've also been eyeballing the SOCFK. I am really attracted to that blade / handle combination.
 
Great mod all around!The '10 has been on my shortlist for awhile now.I couldn't decide between that & the '13(I love bowie blades),until now.I goota pick one up.Maybe get a framelock conversion(but that's a topic for another thread)That really looks great!:thumbup:

I've already got a pretty nasty CQC-11 (same grip I believe) that's had a Krein Regrind. I do like it, but like the 10's grip better. I'm anxiously awaiting delivery on a Roadhouse, which has some similarity of grip with the 10.

Thanks, here, have some more. BTW, I put a convex (but still chisel) edge on the straight portion of that black one - WICKED sharp!



 
I agree I really like my cqc 10. I traded mine a while back and have another one on the way.

That's a regular cqc 15 2013 model with standoffs didn't spend much time with me though. I got offered a trade on those two Emersons I couldn't pass on.
