I have an Emerson custom CQC-5 liner lock folder with OD green canvas micarta handle scales, titanium bolsters, and a two-tone satin finished 154CM chisel ground tanto blade for sale. Ernie Emerson's knives have become legendary as far as tactical/utility folders go, and the CQC-5 is the smaller, more carry-friendly version of his flagship model, the CQC-6. The handle feels great in the hand, and the bolsters are serrated both top and bottom for maximum grip security. This piece does not have the wave feature, but it features Ernie's patented double detent.
I am not the first owner of the custom CQC-5 listed here, but it does not appear to have been been carried, used, or resharpened, and its original zero ground edge from Ernie is extremely sharp. The opening action is smooth, and the lock-up is rock solid.
***TRADED***
The specs:
Condition: Appears mint
Blade length: 2 7/8" from tip to bolster
Overall length: 7"
Blade thickness: Just under 5/32" at ricasso
Blade material: 154CM
Blade finish: Handrubbed flats, machine satin grinds
Edge: Plain, zero ground
Bolsters: Titanium, beadblasted
Handle scale material: OD green canvas micarta
Lock: Titanium liner lock, beadblasted
Backspacer: Black G-10
Clip: Tip up, stainless steel, satin finished
For payment on this piece, I can take USPS money orders and PayPal (add 3% in the US to cover most of the fees, 4% outside of the US). I can also take a personal check if I know you. If you are paying by PayPal, I will only ship to a PayPal-confirmed address. I reserve the right to wait for payments to clear before I ship.
I will consider trades (with appropriate cash adjustment) for custom folders and certain custom balis. I am especially interested in the following makers:
JL Williams
Charles Marlowe
Tim Galyean
Deryk Munroe
Jim Smyth
Kit Carson
Jim Burke
Gerry McGinnis
DB Fraley
Bob Lum
Mike Snody
Sal Manaro
Scott Cook
Ernie Emerson
Rick Hinderer
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
Tom Mayo
Neil Blackwood
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
Flavio Ikoma
I may consider trades for other custom folders or balis not listed above. However, I am not interested in serrated blades, production knives, or fixed blades other than those by John Young or Russ Andrews.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
