Nice, I think Ill EDC my CQC-7 today

 

[Locutus D'Borg]

So what knife did Bin Laden have on him? A SOG, a ZT, or a William Henry

Just found the auction site - great piece of history, especially for a knife guy, but the auction is already out of my price range...

I think it was a Pakistani deluxe premium damascus cable forged by master smiths with 10 generations of smiting.

Something like that.

 

[MRaymond]

Wow. that is cool. The auction is up over $20k now. Good cause I say!

 

[Col Defender]

Sold! For a mere $35,400. Good cause and hopefully a happy new owner! Wonder who he is? We'll probably never know.

for that kind of coin it better have good fit and finish

 

[Locutus D'Borg]

I played with a mini-CQC-7 in a store the other day and could not believe how tight it was. F&F was excellent. I was surprised, given some of the negative talk. It was a very nice knife.

I just saw Zero Dark Thirty yesterday and didn't see them use any knife!

 

[crom]

hehe, I know I was making a joke about the claims of crappy finishing. FWIW, I handled one too, it was a cop's and it was beat to hell and back but it was still pretty tight. The liner was almost touching the opposite side but he said he had it for a long time and it sure looked like it.

Watch you see the guy driving a new Corvette haha.

 

[XiaolongJackson]

Wow. So I guess the SEALs actually do use those things.
