Kershaw Emerson CQC-5K Pocket Knife, Small Folding Knife with 3” Stainless Steel Blade

The CQC-5K, a collaboration between Kershaw and Emerson Knives, is a meticulously engineered and uncompromisingly functional pocketknife. Its 3-inch modified clip-point blade is crafted from 8Cr14MoV stainless steel, providing excellent wear resistance, edge retention, and versatile cutting capability. The blade is coated in black-oxide for protection and a non-reflective finish, contrasting with the attractive G-10 olive drab handle scales.

This manual blade is operated using either the thumb disk or the patented “wave-shaped feature,” allowing the knife to be opened as it is removed from the pocket. As the knife is withdrawn, a small wave-shaped tab on the blade catches on the pocket seam and opens the blade, ensuring that it is ready for use by the time it is fully removed from the pocket. Additionally, the pocketclip is reversible for left or right-handed carry, and a secure locking liner prevents accidental blade closure during operation.

Not only does the 3-inch 8Cr14MoV stainless steel blade offer excellent edge retention and wear resistance, but its modified clip-point design makes it perfect for a wide range of tasks, including delicate handiwork, tactical precision, deboning fish, cleaning small game, breaking down boxes, and aggressive animal defense.

The sleek and uncompromising design of the CQC-5K, created by Emerson Knives and precision-engineered by Kershaw, makes it an ideal choice for hunters, anglers, backpackers, hikers, hobbyists, landscapers, and anyone in need of a reliable everyday carry (EDC) knife. Its manual blade opening options, including the thumb disk and the “wave-shaped feature,” are favored by military, rescue, and law enforcement knife users for their efficiency and ease of use.
