3.3" vs 3.5" blade doesn't seem like much difference, but the handles are very diffent in shape. Any preferences and why? Trying to decide which to buy. Only getting one for now, so please don't just say get both. Thanks.
 
I asked the question before, and I was told that the CQC7 would be better for your pockets. The Specwar's handle design tend to destroy pockets. I don't have any personal experiences. I hope this helps.
 
Get both...just kidding. :p

BFM:

Although both knives are very good, I guess your decision would depend on the intended usage. I have both knives. I find the CQC-7 to be an excellent for basic utility chores. I tend to carry for both utility and defensive purpose. Therefore, I lean towards the Specwar for defensive carry due to the hadle configuration. As a matter of fact, my EDC is a PSARK which has a similar handle profile as the Specwar.

Personally, I don't find the Specwar (PSARK) handle configuration too intrusive. It is a larger knife than the CQC-7, but either seats well in a pair of jeans. What I might suggest though, if you are going to go to a Specwar, spend the money and get a SOCFK for the 'wave'. :D

Hope that helps...
 
bfm,It all boils down to what YOU like.I just traded away a SpecwarB and am currently looking for a CQC7B waved.I didn't care for the Specwar's handle configuration.I do like the CQC7 handle.It's less obstrusive in the pocket, feels better in MY hand and I really like the wave feature.Just My 2 cents worth.tom.:)
 
See2 is going to let me try his SOCFK for a few days. If I like it he has offered to sell.
 
Chris (see2):

I had a few questions about a custom 6...do you think I could borrow it for a few days to try it out?!!!

:p
 
Like I said in chat, Ray - I'll loan ya the 6 if you loan ME that rifle with the can on it. :D

B, I think you'll love the SOCFK - it's the best mix of the two (7 and Specwar). Plus, if you DO end up sending it off to Kevin, he'll make it real purty for ya. :D

See ya Monday, buddy! And, I won't tell 'Becca if you won't. Us guys have to stick together.
 
Chris:

Okay send me the 6...I'll se what I can do about getting the AR across the border!

;)
 
Keep it pointed in the right direction and getting across the boarder shouldn't be too bad. :D
