How To Use The Wave Feature

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.

I picked up one of these recently. The last emerson that I purchased was in 2013- prior to new changes. I had a 2012 Cqc8 and a 2013 super 8; the former was ruined (long story). Regardless, I wanted a new one. I was hesitant because I prefer backspacers over standoffs and loved the tough black cpating no longer available. I thought the newer emersons would be shadows of the former versions and I was wrong. Somehow the single detent holds the blade better than the double did, the standoffs are stronger than the backspace were, and the thunderstorm finish is even better than the old DLC or whatever it was. The cqc8 is an all-around great knife with the perfect handle and blade design. It easily maneuvers in the hand and carries slim for a larger knife. It is my favorite folder in a lot of ways and I'm glad to have one again. I would also like to thank Emerson for the decent discount I reciev3d for my occupation. I wish I had taken advantage of this years ago, but that was when you could still purchase the knives through retailers. If you buy a cqc8, you will not be dissapointed in it. It also has a great history behind it.

As always with any Emerson, the quality of the fit and finish is there. This knife is extremely well-balanced and due to the ergonomics/materials of the handle, this is one of the most, if not THE most comfortable and natural-feeling grips of any knife I've ever owned. The knife arrived scalpel sharp, and the blade shape lends itself well to EDC cutting tasks as well as self-defense if needed. Wave feature opens the knife lightning fast. Overall, a very high quality and good-looking EDC tool.

Love my CQC-8 Flipper!!! I generally do not carry my knife in my pocket because women's pants pockets are too small, but I still love big knives to keep in my purse. It makes them easier to find.
The CQC-8 Flipper is still slim enough for my female hands but the flipper mechanism allows me to open the knife quickly after getting it out of my purse. It definitely shocks people when I first pull it out but it's a great conversation starter. I love the ergonomics of the CQC-8. It has a slim feel to it but it's still a big knife! I use it all the time at work and when I'm camping.
