I just got a ferrrk'd cqc6 conversion and it is better than a reese weiland cqc6 I used to own. Im a believer now on how good ferrrk customizes. the materials were better and the cut out handle materials were precise and the liner lock is alot thicker and just overall the impression is that ferrrk made his better. But I don't actually own a real Emerson custom so i cant compare Ernie's and ferrrks together
