First Look -Kershaw+ Emerson Collaboration !!! You gotta see these beauties!

The designs look great, I wish one or two were being made in the US with 14C28N though. That would make it a lot more appealing.
 
I plan on buying two cqc-6k's when they become available.

the street prices are gonna be really good seeing as how the msrp is less that $60 for all of these kershaws

I have plans of pimping them already:triumphant:

I plan on buying a couple and trying different things.

A) Acid stone wash the blade and stainless lock side.

B) Polish the flats of the blade so the bevels are the only spots acid stone washed.

c) removed the wave feature and bring the spine back to the third jimping divot.

D) polish washers (only if they are phosphor bronze)

E) custom made titanium thumb disk (made by me)

There's more but Ill save that for later ;)

I'm just curious why everybody beats the piss out of Boker for using 440C on their value knives but I rarely hear anyone complain about KAI using alphabet steel on everything.

I think it is because of the price difference . I think Boker uses their 440c on the Boker Plus line that has a average price of 75-80 .Boker shows their Magnum line as using 440 stainless,so I am going to guess it is 440 a. Now, I could be completely wrong. It would not be the first time or the last......Unless I am wrong about being wrong:D BTW I like Boker's 440c. It is a solid performer.

Yeah their 440C is solid, holds an edge well but doesn't get very sharp in my experience.

There are Kershaw's in the $50-$100 range that use 8cr and the ones that don't use 14c28n, which I would put in the same entry level category as 440C.

Which Kershaws are in that specified range using 8cr13MOV?
 
That CQC-6 looks better than some of the real Emersons. This was a good idea to make a budget Emerson line.
 
Kershaw seems to have gotten the price right on these, which will be crucial to their success.
