## Description

Kershaw Emerson CQC-6K Folding Pocket Knife - desertcart.com

Review: Smooth as melted butter - WARNING! This blade comes with a seriously sharpened edge. Upon arrival I inspected the knife for it's quality given the south of $100 price. For its probable uses this knife gives you an affordable yet high quality components fitted into a smaller EDC everyday carry blade. The D2 steel is favorite of mine due to it's a overall Rockwell hardness rating and it's easier of putting a fine edge on it when needed after hard use. D2 is a perfect and affordable steel when a $400+ blade just isn't practical when children need to eat and buying this years schools supplies is right around the corner. G10 scale is also impressive since most knife makers at higher costs are also using it. Stainless liners and a solid lock up are also a plus. The Emerson Wave feature. Here's where it gets scary. First time out of my jeans pocket I cut two fingers and required bandages for bleeding control. Please, practice the opening carefully with what ever pants, slacks, jeans or hikers you plan on carrying this knife in. It's critical to learn this procedure properly without needing first aid essentials close nearby. My first attempt at deploying the blade was with jeans that a bit of elastine in them and pocket stretches when clipped into place. This caused me to struggle a bit since the knife clip is very tight against jeans pockets. Hence the two slices fingers. Aside from needing to practice the deployment of this blade carefully I'm certain you'll be impressed by this Kershaw addition to its manufacturing inventory. Stay safe!
Review: Great quality and price - Great knife at an even better price. I always wanted the original Emerson wave, but at $250 or so couldn't justify it being another EDC addition. Now that Kershaw has the rights to produce it, you still get a good quality knife at a much better price... especially when you have others and you don't really "need" another knife. Beware, you will have to practice withdrawing this from your pocket to open properly. You will also need to practice taking it out of your pocket and keeping the blade closed! Yes it will open that easily. But practice on older heavy duty pants, to avoid ruining the corner of thin pants/shorts as you need to 'catch the wave' on the pocket corner. You will have to be cautious at first in handling it, and the blade locking feature is my least favorite so needing to adapt to it, as opposed to the Benchmade I used to carry. The blade seems plenty sharp, I'm really really resisting cutting anything and everything in sight to preserve the edge, I bought this a personal defense EDC not a box cutter. The overall size and thickness are easy in all my pockets so far. Two color is great.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference with the 6034 & 6034D2**
A: The D2 is a blade upgrade to D2 tool steel vs the standard version's less than awesome blade spec.  Thus the increase in price.  It's worth the extra cash IMO.

**Q: where is it made**
A: China

**Q: What kind of washers does this use?**
A: They are nylon or Teflon. Some low-friction synthetic.

**Q: does it accidentally open while in pocket?**
A: Has not for me. How ever when pulling from pocket the wave hook can be engaged and open the knife. This is a feature you have to practice using. If you want it to open fast on the way out you pull back. If not you pull forward more to keep it from engaging. Great knife for the money. I have two of these and one original Emerson.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Knife Highly Recommend!
*by K***E on December 14, 2024*

*UPDATE* After carring around for almost a year now, im very use to this knife I don't worry about accidental deployment as much because it just feels second nature to me. The pocket clip is by far the sturdyest pocket clip on any knife I have carried even pricier knives don't compare. I would deffently recommend!!! Extremely sharp and reliable. I like the thumb disc better than a thumb stud after getting used to it. The knife feels to be better quality than the price tag feels a tad heavy in your hand which can be a good or bad thing given your preference. It has a very sturdy feel. The wave feature is amazing. Need to be a little careful when pulling it from your pocket at the end the day because of accidental deployment. But once, use to wave feature this knife is great.
