The knife’s G-10 front handle and bead-blasted stainless steel back provide a durable, ergonomic grip, while the patented wave opening mechanism enables rapid one-handed deployment, making it a trusted companion for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

## Description

Although born a hunting knife, the CQC-10K can handle anything in the outdoors, including camping and bushcrafting, the increasingly popular survivor’s challenge. Designed to reduce hand fatigue during tough tasks of gutting, skinning, boning and filleting, the CQC-10K also helps to split wood, clear brush and start fires. Its handle has a deep curve, and its easily sharpened blade holds an edge beyond expectations. Whether using the patented wave-shaped opening feature or the simple thumb disk for manual opening, owners of the CQC-10K are truly ready for the wild. Field dressing deer, boar, elk or bear seems like nothing when wielding the light, securely locked 3.5-inch blade and its textured grip made from G-10 on the front and rust resistant bead-blasted stainless steel on the back. Yes, hunters and survivors alike can appreciate the affordable, versatile CQC-10K created just for them through Kershaw and Emerson’s famously successful collaboration of expertise and integrity.

Review: These knives with the wave feature are the quickest to open.they open faster than autos and gravity knives you just have to practice with them a little bit. Great knife!
Review: I own a lot of knives from various makers, but I've found myself partial to knives that feature the wave opening feature for work. Being able to open and close a knife quickly one handed out of the pocket comes in handy well outside of just self defense concerns (which really isn't ever one of my primary ones buying a blade, but it doesn't hurt either to be capable in that department) My favorite wave featured knife, also from KAI is the Zero Tollerance 0630. It's a tank of a knife with great steel and very useful blade shape for general EDC tasks. But, there are places I don't want to pocket any knife that climbs abouve the $100 range after having one slip out somewhere during the course of the day. And that is where this knife fits in perfectly. Compared to the ZT, this knife has a slimmer profile in pocket. A big bonus. The lockup is solid and confidence inspiring on line, which is always a worry for me in budget folders. But here, absolutely no problems. This knife does ride a little high out of the pocket. But in my opinion, not so much as to be rediclous or obtrusive, and enough that it's easy to draw. People will be aware you are carrying a knife though with a stock clip. The steel here sometimes gets knocks against it. Personally, while I do like my super steels, I also see the value here in having a steel that will hold and edge fairly well in normal use. It isn't terribly prone to chipping from my use. You will have to touch it up more frequently than a higher end steel, but the trade off that I think gets overlooked is it's vastly easier to do that touching up and won't require diamond stones or higher priced ceramic or glass. So while you do love my knives in M4 and M390, and it's handy to have them during a busy week where I don't have the time or inclination to sharpen them, it's also nice to have steels around you don't need to set aside a large chunk of time to do that sharpening. If you are curious about a wave opening knife, this is a perfect entry model. Consider the blade shape and length of this and the others models in this line for what you intend to do. If you need a solid work horse that won't be a tragedy if it gets lost, this is also a perfect knife for the job. I most likely will purchase the other knives in this line that come abouve the 3.5 inch mark. But as the first purchase I have nothing but praise for this one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: where is it made?**
A: china

**Q: What is the angle to sharpen this knife? 15, 20 degrees?**
A: Emerson Knife Sharpening:To top
If you are confident in sharpening yourself, just follow these simple guidelines:

All Emerson Knives are sharpened to 25° -30°.
Be aware that all Emerson Knives are chisel ground, meaning that that only one side (the logo side) is sharpened, leaving the edge razor-like.
Note that some Emerson Knives are beveled to have a conventional V-Grind but they are STILL only sharpened on one side.
After sharpening, be sure to strope the edge on a piece of cardboard to give it a nice, smooth finish.
If you sharpen your knife a lot, be aware that the more you sharpen it, the more material is removed. Eventually a blade replacement will be required, which we also have available depending on the model of your knife.

**Q: Blade length?**
A: 3.54in 90mm on the cqc-11

**Q: How come hardly any of these say what the blade length is? I'd rather not go to jail if it's too long for my state and I get stopped with one.**
A: Hello. The blade length is 3.5”.  I’m not sure of individual states laws but as long as it’s not fully concealed you should be ok. Even in California if the clip is showing out your pocket I’ve never had a problem in 30 years of carrying.

*by A***R on 6 October 2017*

Good knife at any price; amazing knife at this price. Can be opened easily by snagging the hook on the edge of your pocket, using the thumb disk with either hand, or by "waving" it open (gripping the rear end of the handle and using the weight of the blade and a snap of the wrist to flick the knife open). The bead blast finish on the blade is very classy and resists scratches better than a polish finish or a black coating. The blade finish feels slick (like a Teflon pan), as if it would slide through tough material like hemp or leather without binding. The curve of the blade packs a lot of effective edge into a shorter overall length. It's heavier than a comparable knife of this size because the frame lock side of the handle is solid stainless steel; the other side is thin steel and thick G10. The G10 side feels high quality, like the handles on the spyderco military and barong I've owned. The knife handle feels excellent in the hand. It is thick and heavy at the bottom of the palm, but thin and ergonomic between the thumb and index finger. This lends a fluid and facile feel to the blade; it feels like a scimitar. The knife is heavier than similar sized knives one side is solid stainless, but it's not burdensome. The lockup is rock solid, and the part of the frame that composes the lock is very thick. It's a good knife for EDC if you wear sturdy pants. Otherwise, it would be a great knife for the tackle box, tool box, or glove box. Big downside: you can't use the pocket snag to open beer bottles. I have a spyderco delica with the licensed Emerson opening feature, and it opens beer bottles better than anything else. Doesn't work with this knife because the opener is shaped differently. Not a deal breaker, but once you get used to the spyderco...
