Earnest Emerson has made his biggest folder yet. The Super CQC-8 sports a 4.3-inch blade so it feels more like a fixed blade than a folder. Opened, it’s 10.2 inches long. It feels big enough to split kindling wood with. Like its two little brothers, the Super CQC8 is made from 154CM steel and is available in black- or satin-finish blades. It should be available in April and will retail for $295.95. Quotes from the man himself after the break.
"It's the biggest knife we make," said Emerson, owner of Emerson Knives Inc.
It's the third in the CQC8 series. The first was the standard CQC-8 with a 3.9-inch blade; then came the Horseman with a 3.5-inch blade.
"We had the demand from the guys using the knives," Emerson said at Shot Show '09. "They said 'Can you make it a little bigger?'"
