I have a near mint condition Emerson custom waved CQC-7 liner lock with OD green canvas micarta handle scales, titanium bolsters, thick liner, 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-7 is one of his most EDC-friendly models ever. This piece features the wave, which allows the knife to be opened by catching the hem of your pocket as it is drawn so that the blade is completely open before it leaves the pocket. The bolsters are also serrated both top and bottom for maximum grip security.
The custom CQC-7 listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and its original zero ground edge from Ernie is extremely sharp. There are a couple of very faint handling marks on the bolsters that should be visible in the pictures, but the knife is in great shape overall. The opening action is smooth, the lock-up is rock solid, and the blade centering is just about dead perfect.
***SOLD***
The specs:
Condition: Near mint
Blade length: 3 3/8" from tip to handle
Overall length: 8"
Blade thickness: 5/32" at ricasso
Blade steel: 154CM
Blade finish: Two tone satin
Edge: Plain
Bolsters: Titanium, beadblasted
Handle scale material: OD green canvas micarta
Lock: Titanium liner lock, beadblasted
Backspacer: Black micarta
Clip: Skull clip, tip up, stainless steel, tumbled
I will consider trades (with appropriate cash adjustment) for custom folders and custom balis. I am especially interested in the following makers:
JL Williams
Charles Marlowe
Tim Galyean
Bob Lum
Sal Manaro
Kit Carson
Deryk Munroe
Gerry McGinnis
Scott Cook
Jim Burke
Ernie Emerson
Rick Hinderer
Jim Smyth
DB Fraley
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
Tom Mayo
Neil Blackwood
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
Flavio Ikoma (balis only)
Mauricio Dobruski (balis only)
I may consider trades for other custom folders 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!
