Kershaw

Kershaw Knives and Emerson Knives have joined forces on a series of knives that combine the precision engineering of Kershaw with Emerson's functional design. The CQC-8K features a single-bevel tanto blade. Black-oxide coating protects the blade and makes it non-reflective. The G10 handles provide secure grip and a locking liner means safe and solid blade lock up. The CQC-8K 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 By the time the knife has been fully withdrawn from the pocket, the blade is deployed and ready for use.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.
