Have you ever seen the Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau? If you have, you will remember that he had a boss who, at the mention of Clouseau's name, would start to physically shake, develop a severe twitch in one eye, start to stutter, and then would usually end up burning himself up while trying to light a cigarette to calm his nerves. I sort of picture the Usual Suspects as experiencing the same condition at the mention or sight of an Emerson, particularly the customs
I have the shake and stutter down pretty well, but am still working on the others, so I am not official yet
The Usual Suspects are the guys who really know it all about Emerson. I thought I knew a lot about the man and his knives until I found this place...now I realize I am a mere tadpole. They have a real REAL passion and ability to find and procure his knives. I have huge amounts of respect for them, and they all treat us young ones with a lot of respect too. Off the top of my head, they seem to be Arkhamdrifter, Tamishigiri, John Hollister, Sniper308, Rosinghal. There are others, I can't remember who else right now. Also, it is not an 'official' association, they are just the ones that seem to have the most knowledge and contribute some of the best stuff to the forum. As opposed to me; I just seem to babble a lot...

Congratulations on your purchase and Welcome. For the record, the "Usual Suspects" are bound by their love of Emerson knives alone. The term was keyed for the folks that hang out here and talk "Emerson". There's no requirements at all.
The 2000 is the year of manufacture of your CQC6. The line between the zeros is just the bottom leg of the . . . "crosshairs" for lack of a better term.
If you take a picture of your new knife, we'll put it up on the Gallery for all to see.

Thank you for the kind words.
From his description it's a custom. The CQC6 are all customs, there is no production equivalent and "Emerson Specwar Knives" is Ernie's current custom logo.
Take care
John

Hey Edge1- That's great to hear. Did you just walk into Paragon and it was just sitting under the glass?? Wow, what luck (and timing). I used to go there alot and check to see what was new but they always seem to have the same pieces, so I rarely go anymore. I think I'd better start going again.
Take care, Donald.

Hey Edge1,
You lucky dog. I use to go into Paragon almost every weekend in hopes of finding a custom Emerson being there. They only had fancy custom folders or production knives there so I finally gave up.
Welcome to the club, but I bet this won't be your last Emerson. Is your new 6 beadblasted, single or double bevel edge? Let us know.

When you go to gun or knife shows and knowledgable people see a CQC-6 for the first time, it has seemed like a religous experience for some of them! 4K is not justified for the Dress CQC-6 in my book! Congrats on you new knife, carry it and use it!

If you look that Emerson now charges $3000 for a new full dress CQC6 at a show, then $4000 would seem "right", allowing for the aftermarket lift in pricing.
This makes the "old" Full Dress CQC6 that Les has seem a bargin - an Emerson for less than the new retail!?!?!

Ed
