Kershaw Knives: Kershaw Emerson CQC-3K Knife, KE-6014TBLK
The illustrated Kershaw Knife is the Kershaw Emerson CQC-3K Knife, designed in collaboration with Emerson Knives, that features a 2.75" modified tanto blade made of 8Cr14MoV stainless steel. The blade of this Kershaw knife has a non reflective black oxide finish, a notched thumb ramp for secure grip, a thumb disk and a Wave for ambidextrous one hand opening and for open on withdrawal. The handle, 3.75" closed, has a textured black G10 front scale, a black oxide finished 410 stainless steel back scale, a frame lock and a lanyard hole. A side to side reversible pocket clip is mounted at the butt end of this Kershaw Knife. The Kershaw Emerson CQC-3K Knife has an overall open length of 6.50", and it weighs 3.8 ounces. Imported from China.
From the Kershaw website: The CQC-3K features a modified tanto blade for slicing and punching capability. This is a smaller tanto with an under-three-inch blade. Black-oxide coating protects the blade and makes it non-reflective, too. A textured G-10 front scale in basic black offers a secure grip. The handle back is stainless steel with black-oxide coating. The handle is strongly contoured to fit securely in the palm of the hand. For a safe and solid blade lock up, the CQC-3K has a frame lock.
The CQC-3K is a manual opener using either the thumb disk or the patented Emerson "wave shaped feature." This opening feature enables the knife to be opened as it is removed from the pocket. By the time the knife has been fully withdrawn from the pocket, the blade is deployed and ready for use. A small wave-shaped tab on the top of the blade is built to catch on the pocket seam, opening the knife as it comes out of the pocket. This instant-open feature is a favorite among military, rescue, and law enforcement knife users.
