So I've carried a CQC7 for years, first a Benchmade and now an EKI version. I really like the size, platform, etc. About 2 years ago, I got an itch and the awesome woman in my life scored me a CQC13 which I also really like, but it's a bit "scary" looking for carry in the city. Last summer I got hooked on a ZT0551 and was carrying that for a while, but lately my Emerson fetish has reared its ugly head again and I'm looking to buy another Emerson!
I want something with EDC appeal that is somewhat sheeple friendly. As awesome as my CQC13 is, it's a big knife and I'm always on "alert" to make sure I'm not drawing too much attention to myself when I pull it out! I live in the city, but occasionally like to head out to the woods for a hike, plus I hunt and fish too so something that would at least be useful in those environments is a plus. I'm kind of torn between my top picks, the CQC10 and Journeyman- but would also consider a CQC8 and maybe a Commander (not sure how I feel about recurves though). What do you guys think of the pocketability vs. utilty of these options? Which would be your favorite and why? Comparison pics of any of those models would also be great!
