The Commander is the most comfortable knife I have ever held. I loved to EDC it when I had one. I plan on picking up another one as soon as I have some money. (damn knives make me spend all my money)

I've owned a regular CQC-7, a mini-Commander, and now have a Super CQC-7.

One thing that I can say is that the difference in "solid-ness" between the CQC-7 and the Super is huge.

I really liked the shape of the mini-commander, and wasn't too fond of the CQC-7, but regarding both, after hearing and reading all the hype about how tough Emerson's are, I have to admit I was dissappointed when I received those two knives. I was expecting beefy, heavy knives with thick liners.

Now, the Super, on the other hand, (as well as the CQC-12 framelock that I owned--but that's a different thing all together!) is that beefy, solid, heavy Emerson that I had imagined.

I've never owned a full sized Commander (although I'd love to handle one), so I can't give you a straight comparison, but I can tell you that the Super CQC-7 impresses me.

If you need to get into places, go for the "7". Although, a Commander with a Krein Grind, will do just that.
Anyone have a tissue?

i would probably go with the '7 i have never been a big commander fan not that anythings wrong with them, its all aesthetics lol, would also rather have a super SOCFK than either, & imho the best EKI is a '12 followed by a HD7, which are both disco'd now and getting hard to find/expensive when ya do.

if you are really going to use it a lot, make sure that you are comfortable sharpening a recurve like the commander blade. I have a commander, great knive, but kinda hard to sharpen imo.

Maybe consider the UTCOM or CQC8?

 

[thankyou_xxx]

I prefer super cqc7 than commander because i alway use tanto point to open hard things such as iron can or wooden box.It seem work than commander but if you alway use knife to slide, cook or camping i think commander would be better than 7.
