It's practically perfect. I wear medium size gloves (7.5) and mine sits perfectly in any grip....giggitty.

The gradual rise of the belly lends itself extremely well to any cutting task. The point, though not as exaggerated as the Karambit or CQC-7B, still pierces with ease.

My first Emerson should be here in a few days. I got the CQC8 as I have a little bigger hands. I cant wait to try it out, it will be my duty knife and EDC. I am already thinking about picking up a combat karambit and CQC7. Just need to put a few knives up for sale first. Have a Busse or two that don't get any use, maybe that will feed this addiction.

Mini CQC-8/Horseman can be a great EDC. Horseman was my only folder for 2 years.

Happy to hear this as I also ordered a Horseman earlier this week!

Agreed.

I will add that the "mini" CQC-8 is as big as a large Sebenza. The handguard takes up quite a bit of the handle, I wear XL gloves and the Horseman barely fits my hand, but it is just big enough to work.

Pretty much, that is what it was made for. It's very pocketable and works just fine.

LOL, I think Ill soon get the Roadhouse mini, depends on performance!

Yeah, the Horseman has the best ergos of the 4 Emerson's I've owned. That blade shape/length is just about perfect for EDC tasks.
