Is this any good?

Got this as a gift the other day, is it any good? Free stuff is always good nevertheless.

It's a Kershaw CQC 7K.

Dont know this model. But Kershaw makes good knives.
Personally I like thinner blades for EDC. Got my reasons.
But most people like them wider like this.

This is my first EDC. Feels a bit heavy, but not uncomfortable at all. The notch at the top of the blade hooks the top of your pocket as it is drawn, opening the blade automatically.

That's called an "Emerson Wave". It's a patented feature. You'll see on the other side of the blade the word "Emerson" will appear.

I had to choose between a Kershaw CQC and the Scrambler earlier this year. Chose the Scrambler, but I find myself constantly wondering if I made the right choice. Good knives, same manufacturer that makes ZT knives. That knife will probably last you many years to come, as all Kershaws do.

Its a collaboration knife between Kershaw and Ernest Emerson. Two brilliant knifemakers and designers. I been looking to get myself one soon. Enjoy it!

The tanto blade looks good!

I have the same blade. See that little skull on the pocket clip. That means you've got quailty.

Nothing wrong with it at all, mine gets rotated very often because I'm a knife slut.

Good choice.

Stay Bladed.

I have the cqc 4kxl which is a bit larger but same collaboration between kershaw and emerson. At first I was wondering if I made a good choice but the more I carry it the more I like it. I love the wave opening feature and the smooth side goes in and out the pocket very easily and the g10 on the other side gives moderate traction and with a blade just under 4 inches I can carry it alone for edc and emergency tactical. So it's a 2 for 1 for me. And I don't mind the made in china at all because kershaw's quality control is good. Anyway hope you enjoy the knife. Great gift!
