If you are looking for a good, versatile everyday carry folder the Kershaw-Emerson CQC-6K is an solid choice especially with the upgrade to D2 tool steel for the blade. The robust, clip point blade is at 3.25 inches and offers easy one hand opening via the patented Emerson Wave or thumb disk. Just like the original this version sports a two-tone blade finish, black G10 front scale and bead blast finished stainless steel frame lock construction.

Brand new, direct from Kershaw.

Blade: Made from D2 tool steel, the clip point blade is delivered in a handsome two-tone finish: stonewashed on the hollow saber grind and horizontal satin on the flats. The hollow ground clip point offers solid slicing and piercing performance. An Emerson Wave opener allows the knife to be opened fast on the draw or use the thumb disk for post-pocket deployment. Both features allow for ambidextrous deployment of the blade.

Handle: The front of the handle offers a high traction black G10 scale supported by a stainless liner while the reverse is a robust bead blasted steel frame lock for smooth, reliable and secure operation. Strategic jimping provides traction for a secure grip paired with the index finger cut out. A semi-open construction makes for easy cleaning/maintenance while the partial backspacer protects the blade and enhances balance in the hand. A generous hole is provided for lanyard attachment.

Carries via a reversible (tip-up) stainless steel pocket clip.

D2 Tool Steel: D2 is a cold work tool steel that has been used as a die cutting steel since WW II. D2 has a high chromium content for a tool steel (10-13%) which gives it greater corrosion resistance than most high carbon steels making it semi-stainless. D2 offers a good combination of toughness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance for a good all-around knife steel.
