Rare Vintage BenchMade SpecWar CQC-7

[WillB]

I purchased this when they first came out circa 90s. I'd say 8/10 condition: it was carried for some time (replaced years ago by a different folder), and did minimal light duty work, such as open boxes, etc. It's never done any hard use work. Mostly, just needs a good clean up.

$250 shipped CONUS.

That's the knife that made me fall in love with the chisel ground tanto... I think I was 15.

I'd never seen one 'till that, and like many, read abut it in Marcinko's books, and then read up on it by Emerson and purchased two of them at the time. One I sold to a buddy after BM stopped making them, the other I held onto for a time, but I'm not a collector per se, so if it sits in a drawer or the safe for a few years without use, it gets sold. It's a classic for sure.

I have this in the Satin plain edge. They were made better than the original Emerson productions. Still not up to par with the original Strykers models, but good for it's time. A favorite beater of mine.
