An important part of knowing the anatomy of an Emerson Knife is knowing how to utilize it. Using the patented Emerson Wave Feature correctly, you can deploy the knife out of pocket rapidly. It takes some practice to master. See how it's done in the video above.

Ernest Emerson started making custom knives in his garage in 1979. He rapidly rose to prominence as a knife maker due in equal parts to his expertise as a craftsman, (tool and die maker), his artists eye for design, and his practical experience as one of the world’s most sought-after and respected hand-to-hand combat instructors.
Emerson’s work has been featured and exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian Museum. There are only a handful of living artists who can make that claim. As an instructor in hand-to-hand combat and edged weapon skills, Mr. Emerson has taught the most elite warriors on earth, from the US Navy SEALs to the Guards of Parliament in London and everywhere in between.
He is the author of scores of articles, books, and videos regarding tactics, training and combat. As one of the most sought after instructors in the world he is in high demand for seminars and lectures to civilian, military and law enforcement agencies.
He is an inducted member of The Martial Arts Hall of Fame, along with such venerable names as Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris. In fact he is the only knife maker known who also owns and operates his own training facility, the world-class “Black Shamrock Combat Academy Gym” in Los Angeles, California.
At a time when knives are designed by graphic artists and 22-year-olds who never did more than use a knife to sharpen a pencil, the name Emerson and the company Emerson Knives stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Great
I Love Emerson knives, simple effective and you can sharpen one off of a coffee cup if you had to. You can’t say that about a lot of these super steel type knives. 154 cm works it just does. I got the cqc 7 because I love the mini 7. I guess that’s backwards but I wasn’t disappointed at all with my purchase. Thunderstorm finish, Wave, G10, and a Tanto that’s scary as ****. What’s not to love. Get your self an Emerson they just work.
You cant beat the quantity. This is something that you’ll pass on to your kid.
I’m still trying to wrap my brain around the “wave” design. Other than that, my CQB7W is incredible.
This is my second Emerson knife. My first was a Mini Commander I bought in 2013. I love the look of the MComm, but the CQC 7 has always stuck in the back of my mind for its rugged simplicity, and I finally decided to take the plunge 12 years later. I always thought it was ugly but practical, but when it came in and I saw it in person for the first time, I realized how wrong I had been about its ugliness. Its proportions are perfect and it's actually a beautiful knife.
Aside from looks, I also appreciate the practicality of the blade shape. The belly on the Mcomm makes the point too wide for several everyday tasks, and I much prefer the tanto style point. I expect the straight edge will also be much easier to sharpen when the time comes.
I've noticed some subtle improvements over the past 12 years as well. The logo is engraved rather than printed, and the clip now includes the Emerson name and brand. I also remember the lock on my Mcomm taking some time to break in, but this one is strong right out of the box. I may be wrong, but I also think the action is much smoother than it ever was on my Mcomm.
My only complaint may be that the thumb disc is closer to the handle and the blade retention is on the stiff side, making it difficult to open using the disc. I'm assuming that will break in over time, though, and I'd rather have it start out too tight than too loose.
I love the knife. Maybe in another 12 years I'll finally splurge on a flipper. (Sheepdog Bowie...you're up next!)
Just received my CQC7B in stonewash finish after an issue with warranty service. I am very pleased with the knife and highly recommended. Great customer service by Rachel! She was very helpful and assisted me in a timely manner. Great products and staff highly recommended to friends and family. Won’t carry anything else but an Emerson on duty or off thanks so much guys!

First one I had was a benchmade collab. It was my first of the kind. I was a teenager and it was stolen/lost. Then I had a 7A. Indestructible. Then I got myself a 7B for my birthday almost 15 years ago. Then a super in 2013, and later 2 protech collab versions. I've carried these all over the place in multiple duty roles. They can take all the abuse in the world and keep going. The first time I saw one I thought it was the most beautiful folding knife I'd ever seen, but it's looks are more than matched by its function and strength. People that see knives as little more than sharp fidget spinners might not like it because of it's steel choice, grind, simple construction, or shape; however, people who carry knives daily as serious tools will absolutely love that it can be sharpened on any course surface, it is immune to the elements with little care, and can be serviced completely with a multitool or less. Try doing that with an overpriced and overcomplicated pretty looking knife- you won't. It'll break and you probably won't even be able to re-sharpen its overhardened super steel in less than an hour with dedicated tools- let alone in the field with limited resources at-hand.
