KershawEmerson CQC-K Pocket Knives, Manual Opening Folding Knife with Wave Shaped Feature, Multiple Styles

Best cheap EDC knife I have found so far. The Emerson claw works great for me, just have to be aware of it opening when you retrieve it or when changing pants. Not sure about the steel since I have not yet had the need to sharpen it but thefunction is awesome for one handed deployment.

I have to start off by saying man, this knife is incredibly sharp right out of the box. I found that out the hard way unfortunately, but I can't blame the knife for that. Was using it to whittle a little bit the day it arrived (which it worked beautifully for) and I was a bit distracted (going through a bunch of not great stuff at the moment) and somehow the blade slipped from what I was working on, getting me right in the thumb and right above the webbing in my hand. Didn't share the pic of the gory details/aftermath of that, but you can still see the area of my thumb that's still healing from the incident. To say I immediately knew I done messed up would be an understatement. Again, not the knifes fault. Always respect your tools, or be prepared for a painful lesson. Anyway, outside of the crazy sharp blade, it seems to be incredibly solid so far, as far as build quality goes, and the wave opener is honestly one of the most fun and satisfying ways I've ever opened a folding knife. Ever. I've seen a few reviews with issues such as blade play and all that, but I haven't experienced any such issues myself as of yet. Will update if I do, but as it stands, I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and it's quickly become my EDC of choice. If you're considering getting it, I don't think you're going to find many better knives at this price point, so I'm sure you'll love it.

I had put this family of knifes on my own personal wishlist 3 months ago because I loved the idea of the wave feature. I do not carry or own a firearm and to me a pocket knife should be useful for every day tasks but be ready when necessary for self defense. This does both! The wave feature makes it instantly accessible without any (to the best of my knowledge) illegal features. It is ready to perform ANY task as soon as it leaves my pocket. And I'm so glad I waited for the D2 steel blade, which was a happy accident. I enjoy just taking this knife out of my pocket. It's better than a fidget spinner for idle hands. The blade is razor sharp out of the box and because I just enjoy using this knife I have since taken up whittling. I have now nearly completed a walking stick and the blade will still shave hairs off my arm and don't have a single blister on my hands! I am not a knife enthusiast and I know there are far better knives on the market but for the price you CANNOT beat this knife. My dislikes are so minimal that I'm not even going to bother listing them. If I had paid $100 dollars I'd still be happy with this knife. Lastly, I'd like to give the seller some props because the knife is 30 something dollars cheaper than listed on the Kershaw website and the knife arrived a full 3 days earlier than what the estimated day of arrival was! I ordered it Friday night and it was here Monday when I got home from work and all in original packaging and boxing. If you are someone who cares about function more than trendy styles or just wants a nice edc knife then look no further. This is your new go to knife.Update 6/5/2020 - I just ordered my second knife not because it broke or I lost it but because it is so awesome I don't wanna be without it again. I use it every day, have carved multiple walking sticks with it, cut away tape on metal surfaces almost daily, and only had to sharpen it once or twice. I can't get it back to factory sharp but it is always sharp enough to handle the task at hand and hold it's edge forever! If I have my way I'll buy two more and be set for life assuming I'll inevitably lose a couple along the way!

It looks great, the feature of opening will being pulled from the pocket is great (as long as you're pants are not thin/loose).It wasn't quite as sharp right out of the box as i expected, but I'm not disappointed at all.It feels well built and well worth what I paid for it.

Excellent knife. When you hone it up, you can feel the sharpness and retains it.

Best pocket knife I have ever got

clever designdesigned for say, back or side pocket of jeans (best with jeans, less so with thin material)designed for right hands, though can be redone for left but at a cost to good looks

Been using it and other knives of the same line and they all work well and never give me issues
