Could anyone tell what folding knife the marine had clipped to his Molle vest in the initial helicopter ride into the FOB? It was only a quick look, at first I thought it was a Benchmade 975, but upon reflection (given it's size/width), I think it was an Emerson CQC-11 or 13? It is a quick part of the scene after they leave Camp Pendelton in the chinooks headed to the FOB. The marine has it on the front right (IIRC) of his molle cover of his IBA.

For anyone trying to recall this scene - There is only one quick flash of a marine in the Chinook going into the FOB with a large folder clipped to the front of his vest with flat G-10 scales and a no-frills black solid looking clip. This is right after or during the time the SSG (acting Platoon SGT) is chewing them out and telling them to get their minds right for combat.

As I said above, I first thought it was a Benchmade 975 or Emerson Super CQC-7, but it looked too wide and in the few seconds I had to process it, I changed gears and it looked like a Emerson CQC-11 or CQC-13.

Opinions anyone?
 
I was sent link to their site on another board, but didn't see one that looked like this one. Does ESEE make one that resembles an Emerson make?
 
Emerson? I couldn't tell.

That was my initial impression - Emerson designed 975 or Super CQC-7, then in the second or so it was imprinted on my mind, it seemed wider and the handle shape different and more closely resembled a CQC-11 or CQC-13...I could be wrong, as it was so quick.
 
Sweet flick I saw it last night. I thought is was a commader.

I thought it might be that one too, as so many of the grip designs on the large Emerson folders are close in shape. I think it was definitely an Emerson, but I guess I'll have to wait until the DVD comes out to freeze it and see if I can zoom in and figure it out. (unless Mr. Emerson has seen the movie and can tell us.;) )
 
I think this is a ESEE4 isnt it?

there was a kabar mule clipped to the chest of one of the soldiers, I don't think it was one of the main characters tho, just a guy...

I agree, cool movie :)
