The **Emerson CQC-15-BT** is a solid and large pocket knife. CQC stands for *Close Quarters Combat*. After all, designer Ernest Emerson has a background as a martial arts instructor. This, however, doesn't mean that the CQC15 can't be used as a pocket knife for daily use.

## The Emerson Wave opener

There are two ways to open the Emerson CQC15-BT: you can open it with the thumb disc on the spine of the blade, or you can use the distinctive Emerson Wave. This is the little wave on the spine of the blade. You can use this 'hook' to open the pocket knife when you take it from your pocket. You pull the knife back after which the wave will get caught behind the edge of your pocket opening the blade. Also important: it also functions as a bottle opener. Cheers.

## The Handle

The handle is made from G10 and offers enough grip. This pocket knife almost sticks to your hand. The shape of the scale also contributes to this. Both with the blade at the top and at the base of your fist the CQC15 offers you a wonderful ergonomic grip. The inside of the handle is enhanced with titanium liners. These liners keep the weight of this large pocket knife relatively low.

## The blade

The blade is made from 154CM-steel. This type of steel was designed in the seventies for turbine blades of jet engines, but today it is better known as a premium type of steel. The blade is enhanced with a regular V-grind, but only sharpened on one side. According to Emerson, this makes sharpening in the field a lot easier. The shape of the blade is somewhere in between a clippoint and a tanto, with a massive recurve. As such the Emerson CQC-15 is able to combine the piercing force of a tanto blade, with the smooth cutting qualities of a recurve. The blade is enhanced with a black teflon coating and when opened a linerlock will keep the blade in place.

## History of Emerson Knives

The foundation for Emerson Knives as we know it today dates back to 1979. That was when Ernest Emerson started producing custom knives. Because of his background as a soldier and martial arts instructor, he had clear ideas of how a knife should be put together. In 1996 Emerson decided to scale up his production to make sure more people could start using his knives. He founded Emerson Knives and started producing pocket knives and fixed knives on a larger scale. Today *Emerson Knives* is a family company that focuses on details, but perhaps most importantly: the use and the user come first.
