Real deal or ?

[arrowhd]

I recently acuired a CQC-8 in a trade. It's a user but in overall good condition. It came from a reputable individual on the boards here. I've been reading all the information about fakes. This is my first Emerson. To be honest, I can't afford to buy a new one right out. Everything looks and feels right about this knife and I've done a ton of reading about what to watch for. I've posted several photos below. I know there are several folks here that can verify this is the real deal. Sure would like to hear your opinion.

I haven't seen any fake CQC-8 knives out there. There isn't anything in your picture that would make me think it was anything less than genuine. Everything looks authentic (logo, pivot, philips screws, etc).

Haven't heard of any fake cqc-8s, and rest assured your knife is lacking any tell tale signs of being a fake. Enjoy it. Lockup looks great from that pic

Thanks for all the feedback. I just love this knife. Looking forward to putting it to use.

I agree with everyone here, what made you think it might be a fake?

Nothing to compare it to. That and all the recent warnings about fakes floating around.
