CQC7A-Spearpoint

[silversport]

What are the pros and cons of this knife...I have a CQC7B mini-Tanto but would like any thoughts you may have as relates to this knife.
Thanks.
General cutting, EDC not really for protection but this is what the knife was designed for.

My current EDC is the CQC-7a, and I have no complaints.

It is a very sturdy knife, and holds it's edge well.

I think it's a perfect EDC, as it will take just about anything you throw at it, be it food prep, or some heavy duty cutting task, or something in between. I have carried mine for just about a year now, and it still looks like new.

get one. You won't be disappointed.

It's got the best handle ergonomics of all my knives. I'm not too crazy about the single secondary bevel. When slicing, it tends to vere to one side. Very easy to sharpen due to the single secondary bevel. I'd say the pros outwat the cons. nocomment on the handle since you've all ready got the same one with the tanto blade.

I own a handful of Emersons including the one in question. I like them for what they are, but the chisel grind in general is not my favorite. As a tactical piece they are excellent, but whittlers they are not. I REALLY wish an alternate grind was available but that's not realistic. The parts and ergos are fab. The grip, lock, pivot, etc are great!

I thought the spearpoint "improved" upon the chisel bevel...isn't the spearpoint a vee-grind???
just askin' cuz I don't know...I have never seen or held a spearpoint Emerson CQC7.
Thanks,

My best friend's favorite knife is an Emerson Commander. He loves it and carries it everywhere.

He got it from ME. It just didn't fit my needs. Now, he's a 'hard use' kind of guy and the knife has never failed him.

I don't think Ernie knows how to make knives that DO fail.

If this knife fits your needs, your CQC7-A should last your lifetime.

I think some here are commenting about the CQC7B (chisel ground tanto blade) instead of the CQC7A (spearpoint "v" grind).

I like the 7A and carry it every once in awhile. You cannot expect this knife to slice tomatos as fine as a flat ground kitchen knife; however, if you're "tanto intolerant," and the knife has to be an Emerson, then this is a logical choice. As far as ergonomics, I prefer the "A" blade Specwar but the 7 is a more comfortable carry. I had hoped that Emerson would make a "waved" CQC7A but that is not going to happen due to the low number of interested buyers.
