New EDC Folder
 

This is my new EDC folder and it is becoming one of my favorites to carry (I have only had it 3 days!). It's an Emerson designed but, built by Kershaw CQC-4K. Came out of box sharp as hell and quality control is spot on for a $30 folder. I recommend it to anyone looking at a new EDC folder!

Not Bad Caleb,

I like it...nice!

I like it.

looks great Buddy!

Great post for me, Caleb. I have been dragging around a Chinese USMC labeled brick that after a hour or two feels like a weight lifting device trying to pants me. I went shopping (lap shopping). I found it available in several places and connected with the identical twin of yours on an Ebay listing for a cutlery supply company and snagged one at the magic price. Most of the folks, retail and wholesale and auction had the model but with a different darker scale. I like yours because it will show me instantly when it bites me. :D and it is handsome in form and function the spirit of nice tools. Thanks for the great tip. Dennis

Thank you everyone, it's a nice knife.

Dennis, I got mine from ebay as well. I usually look for the cheapest price with free shipping.

I think you will like it. It's lightweight but, solid. The blade comes razor sharp and the spear point is sharp as well. The blade will be a bit stiff to deploy at first. I usually loosen the pivot screw and then tighten it up till the blade has no side to side movement when deployed. At the same time, the deployment is smoother. I will deploy the blade a thousand times during the day with new folders just to break it in. Once the blade breaks in, I will slightly tighten the pivot screw a bit to remove any side to side movement after breakin.

If you are in need of a really light great blade, let me know.......I can send you one of my top three favorites of all time. It is also a Kershaw.

Caleb

That's cool, how they put your picture on the clip.:D

That is a very nice offer but this little guy is perfect for me. What I could really use is tips on how to carry and deploy quickly. I really have never carried a blade except when hunting or fishing or in the woods and they were always fixed blades. I am not sure how to utilize the clip to carry and get it into action in self defense. I will be prowling the internet for manuals or self defense books. Again, thanks. I am pretty fumble fingered with the ones I have now and not getting much better.

You are too funny.

Clip it to your pocket as close to the rear as possible. When deploying, grab with your thumb and middle fingers on either side. You pointer finger should ride on the backbone of the knife. With a semi-aggressive pull as well as a rearward pull the Emerson Wave feature will grab your pocket seam and start opening the blade as you pull the knife out. I will try to link videos here so you can see it easier.

As for self defensive usages, I will refer you to our own Brownie or btbbob. Both great instuctors that can andwer any questions you may have.

Enjoy your new blade.

Here is a better video showing deployment in slow motion

Ok now show us your video of you cutting yourself and your better half slapping the crap out of you :eek::eek::eek: funny funny



Clyde

Uhm, no. Isn't it time for your nap?

I prefer the framelock like yours over liner locks as they don't exhibit near as much potential to release the blade under lateral stresses applied.

What steel is used in that blade? aus8? Nice foe the price, but I can do without the wave feature, though there's no question a lot of people use them

The blade is 8Cr13MoV. I prefer the frame locks as well for the same reason. This is my first blade with the "wave" feature and I actually like it. I also like the "flipper" deployment on my other blades too.

Clyde, you have been paying an uncomfortable amount of attention and chronicle the inevitable. I can promise you will not see a video of any of the several events to come. It is scheduled to arrive next week, no doubt it will happen soon. :eek: "She" is sure I have been way to old for stupid despite ample evidence for a long long time. She is very patient and a supreme if addled optimist. She has never slapped me as she is sure that even after 50 plus years there is somewhere in me a super stud hiding if she is just nice enough. Did I mention addled? :D

Thanks Caleb. Perfect. Appreciate the training vids. If I can work it out without slicing off a butt cheek I will be far ahead of where I am now. :toast: Perhaps I could send Clyde a video of the fair Penelope kissing the band aid on my first butt cheek slice? Probably Ellison is a better choice but I worry, he knows where I live in the early winter.....
