I hope you all get to try these Knives. The Steel is Pretty good, holds and edge fairly well. The Wave feature is awesome! I used think that think was ugly and useless, but I was wrong again. I love the wave, it opens the knife as I pull it out of my pocket. One hand box opening and cutting. Thanks for reading.
I have a spyderco with wave feature and I add a zip tie to my other sypdercos to use it similar to the wave. Yes wave is awesome
They are not that expensive either. Thought about picking one up.
I pre-ordered and got it 2 weeks ago. Cool knife for the price.
I've had an Emerson CQC8 in my pocket since 2009, never leave home without it.
This whole thread is worthless without pics, as I won't be nearly as tempted to buy one, without seeing a few members throw up some KNIFE port...
I will post some pics as soon as it arrives, just ordered one! I've been needing a new knife to replace my kershaw chive and this fit the bill. Midwayusa has the CQC-6k for $29 with free shipping HEREQuote:

Wow... big pig stickers. I've never had a need to carry a knife that large(7-3/4" open length). Compensating for something? (easy now, just kidding)
I love Kershaw, but I carry a smaller Ken Onion Kershaw (Chive) Just under 2" Blade.

My favorite knife and it is tiny. I just seemed to have misplaced it the last week!Quote:

Excellent. I pre-ordered a CQC-4k through Blade HQ quite some time ago and I'm waiting on it still. Orders are filled according to the order they were placed, and I had to wait a while to place my pre-order. So I assume I should be getting it soon. I think they've fulfilled some of the orders so far.
I did see Midway has a ETA of 8/8 on the 4K. I would hope you would get yours before then.Quote:

Got an email this morning that they're in. It'll be shipped tomorrow.
Man that was some fast shipping. So far I'm impressed with the knife build quality. Makes a real reasonable way to have an "Emerson" knife, at a Kershaw price. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/03/yhu8u5u5.jpg

I just got 2 of these ZT0620s and I have a Emerson mini commander and the ZT is WAY nicer in every way if anybody is interested in the one that's not in my pocket send me a pm but these are bad ass I love ZT
^^^ Those are sweet looking, I would be interested if I had cash.
I missed this thread the first time around.
Nice looking knives.
I have a mini Commander and Leek composite and like both a lot.
My EDC is a ZT, top notch knives. Wish I had the money to ad this to my rotation.Quote:

Here's an interesting article on Ernest Emerson. I love how the discovery of the wave feature played out.

Looks like some pics were deleted. Here is the trifecta.

I like the Kershaw/Emmerson knives because they are cheap and effective. You can usually find them for about $20 and at that price you can throw them away after they earn their keep. Are they as solid or high quality as a "Real" Emmerson knife? Nope. But then again they are not $200 either. You get what you pay for.
The thing that I really like about these knives is that they are cheap enough to willingly abandon if you have to. I have taken a few of these on international trips, cruises and things like that which usually frown on knives. If it gets confiscated or I have to abandon it in an airport while traveling its not a big loss.
I bought one of the Kershaw Emersons last year. Mostly to try the wave. I love the idea. The 25 dollar version I got is as heavy as a brick. I'm tempted to drill some holes to lighten it up. As it is, its a tool box knife. This is the first non US mad Kershaw I've bought. A bit disappointed, but it was cheap.
I understand the real Emersons are heavy, too. Probably not the best for EDC for a lot of folks, but I don’t mind the weight. It feels, well, comforting.Quote:
