Can anybody tell what the difference is between the raven & Blackbird.
Also I wanted your opinion on what I should get next the CQC-15 or The HD-7 Heavy Durt Seven and it it's the HD-7 what should I get the Titanium or TheTitanium/G-10 and the CQC-14 Snubby.I founf a great sight that have greatmprices.

Such as The 15 for $
151.77 SFS & HeavyDuty -7 SFS $230.86 and the CQC-14 Snubbt BTS For $132.71
This is a real Company they evenhave some in stock but i can't afford them all at once so the owner she said she would hold them for me at these prices.is thisa good deal or keep looking.

Merry Christmas, Brian! Welcome to Bladeforums

I don't know prices on the newer Emersons, so I'll let someone else chime in on that.

The big difference between the Raven and the Blackbird though is the handle. The Raven has that interesting rounded grip, and it's one of the few Emersons I've kept. It's my "gentleman's tactical", compact, lightweight, and tough.

The Blackbird changed over to their standard G-10, flat handle. I'm sure it's OK, but I'm glad I have one of the original style.

i would get a CQC12 over anything ya mentioned FWiW.

its hard to find a ti/ti HD7 or CQC12 and pricey when ya do find one so i would go with ti/G10 unless ya just gotta have the ti/ti.

dont know much about the raven and blackbird other than i have handled both a few yrs ago and didnt care for either one very much, though they arent bad knives imho EKI makes so many models which are imho anyway, lots neater than either.

between the '15 and HD7 i would probably go with the '15 but i'm not really into tantos much anymore.
