Emerson A-100 or a CQC-7a?

[A.P.F.]

I am torn between these two knives. I think that the CQC-7a is discontinued, but I am not sure.

Any recommendations?

The A was reborn. Good luck. Try to hold both.

Both? Both! Ya, that's it. I was just waiting for an excuse, thanks Lycosa.

When you get that Emerson---give me the low-down. :thumbup:

I would go with the 100 - slimmer profile, no wave, no tanto just fits me more.

I think you'll be really happy either way, tho.

The "A" is not a Tanto.

Interesting, I didn't know that...

Thanks for the heads up Lycosa :thumbup:

I had the exact same issue when I got my 7A a few weeks back. I went with the 7A for the ergo's of the knife. I felt the A-100 was a cool knife and all. But for what I wanted to do with this knife, I felt the 7A would give a better and more comfortable purchase while doing heavy cutting which is exactly what I have been doing with it. I felt the straight grip of the A-100 would be better suited for my day to day lighter stuff when I finally pick one up. I have not been disappointed thus far.

Thats a tough choice, I would probably have to say go for the 7-A but the A-1 would still be a good one to go for.

 

[Lycosa]

Which ever Emerson you will you, ..... it??

Seen as I just recently purchased both, the Q-7 first and then the A-100
love them both
As I also carry Spyderco's, the 100 for me is the Millie and the 7 is the Para.
Which in knife speak, means you will eventually need both,one for going uptown and one for going downtown.

You guys are kill'n me here, but thanks for the input.

I think that I will go for the A-100 SF first, because the knife just calls to me. However, the 7A will be a close second...unless a CQC-11 beats it.

Great choice! That's my downtown knife

 

[Lycosa]

If it calls you...go to it. :thumbup:

This strategy has broke me, but I own alot of cool knives! :thumbup:

I've owned both, prefer the A-100. Utility drop point gets a lot more use than the Tanto does, IMO.

Actually, Joe, I was thinking of the 7A, which is the spear point version, but I fully agree about the Tanto vs. anything with 'belly' issue. Thanks for the input.

In fact, thank you all for your input, as I now have an A-100 on the way!

For your second one the CQC7a also comes in its reincarnated wave-less form,heck by why stop there check out...ready for this....the M-Wave ( Mach ! with the wave ) these are still availble you just have to look.

Thanks, Jim, now you are really kill'n me!

I have a feeling that I will no longer have to worry about savings, because I won't have any. Aw well, perhaps Mary will send me a beanie.
