For the Emerson experts ... I found a pair of pre-Wave safe queens in a storage box in my attic. Both are in very nice used condition, with evidence of light usage and what I recall to be only factory sharpened blades. They date to ~ 2000, but I am uncertain of their exact models. I originally thought the larger of the two was a Commander, but the blade lacks the traditional curvature seen on the various Commander models. Any information would be most appreciated. Four photos attached. Thank you in advance.

The image for the larger "commanderish" knife, is the mach-1. The second smaller one is the CQC-7A model. Fun find. Emerson made a waved version of the mach-1 called the m-wave, but I believe that version was an exclusive run for a sporting goods store. Also, your cqc7 should also be drilled for both tip up and tip down carry, which was a pretty neat feature that is no longer done.

Yup that's a Mach-1. Here's mine, same design.
