Emerson knives will now be sold directly through Emerson. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Introducing the Blade HQ Exclusive CQC-7, a highly esteemed tactical knife that is now being produced with new features. This model, the CQC-7BW BT Flipper, has a stonewash finished blade with a plain edge and the Wave opening feature. The Emerson CQC-7 is widely recognized as the most iconic tactical folding knife of all time.
When I first designed the CQC-7, I believed it was a finished design. However, I later developed the wave shaped opening feature and realized it made the knife even better, especially in tactical situations where quick access to your knife is crucial. This led to the creation of the "waved" CQC-7, which became our best-selling knife for almost two decades.
Now, I am proud to introduce the Emerson CQC-7 Flipper, the ultimate evolution of the tactical folding knife. This knife features S35VN steel, GTC stainless 440C bearings, and the flipper opening technology. It combines the wave opening, thumb disc, and flipper opening system, giving you three options to deploy the knife in high-stress situations. It is incredibly smooth, fast, and durable. I guarantee it. - Ernest Emerson
