But I am wondering what does a CQC-6 go for today? That seems to be everyones grail.

On the secondary market it's basically the same price as a Rolex. There is a guy local to me that has one and wants to trade it for my watch... for a second I thought about it, lol. Then I gave my head a shake, but that's what they're going for. It's crazy.

I know of one for sale online for 8K. But it's a black blade, black micarta, flipper/wave version. So maybe that makes it even more expensive. I prefer the more standard builds.
 
Ya, once you get into the 1-off customs and full-dress with Damascus blades and such then we're talking art at this point so there is no real upper limit.

I prefer something I will actually use. I use my custom Commander, got it new, and I've already put my own edge on it. If I can ever get a decent price on a used 6 then I'll go for it. I don't think Id ever pay secondary price for a new one.

Yup, Emerson knife porn - right there on your monitor ladies and gentlemen!
 
I think I'll have to add that Tanto to the list. And the Jackhammer. I love the chisel ground tanto types.
 
I was actually looking for a 7 when I got this one but they can be almost as hard to find at a decent price as a 6. I bought the Tanto knowing nothing about it but ended up liking it a lot. It feels similar to an A100.

My next is on a FedEx truck today. Never had this model before, so I'm looking forward to signing that little touchscreen.

Well, don't keep us in suspense for forever. You'll have to let us know what it is later after you familiarize yourself with it.

I got two more Signature Series in yesterday - the Mutant and Kwaiken. The Mutant I like less than I thought I would, and the Kwaiken I like a LOT more than I thought I would. Kwaiken handle shape seems very similar to the Tanto above, and I like how the blade pretty much completely disappears into the scales when closed.

Have something else to pick up at the Post Office totday as well.

The Mutant has interested me for some time. What about it did you less favor?

I'm looking at it now, and I do like it. I just thought I'd like it more. It is chisel ground, tanto tipped, thick - which are a couple of my sweet spots. But it feels awkward. And the Kwaiken is slender, trailing point-ish - not my favorite things. But the Kwaiken just feels better in hand. It's likely why it is now a production knife.

Well, on that last point I completely understand and agree. I also think the Tanto should be a regular production model as well.
