Kershaw CQC-4K Coyote Brown - Black 3.25 Inch Plain Black Drop Point

When you're looking for a dependable everyday carry folding knife that blends tactical design with practical function, the Kershaw CQC-4K Coyote Brown & Black stands out as a solid choice. Designed by the legendary Ernest Emerson, this knife offers the best of both worlds—Emerson’s battle-tested expertise combined with Kershaw’s precision manufacturing. Whether you're using it for work, self-defense, or just everyday tasks, this knife is built to handle it all.

At the heart of the CQC-4K is a 3.25-inch drop point blade crafted from 8Cr14MoV stainless steel. This tough, wear-resistant steel holds a sharp edge while still being easy to maintain, making it a reliable option for daily cutting tasks. The black oxide-coated finish adds a sleek, tactical look while providing extra protection against corrosion and wear. With a blade thickness of .12 inches, it’s sturdy enough for demanding jobs without feeling bulky.

One of the standout features of this knife is its dual-opening system. Kershaw and Emerson have equipped the CQC-4K with both an Emerson Wave opener and ambidextrous thumb discs, giving you options for quick, effortless deployment. The Wave feature allows the blade to deploy instantly as you draw it from your pocket, making it an excellent choice for those who need rapid access in high-stress situations. For more controlled openings, the thumb discs provide smooth, ambidextrous operation.

The handle is another reason why this knife feels so comfortable in hand. The front scale features textured Coyote Brown G-10, offering a secure, slip-resistant grip that performs well in wet or dry conditions. The rear handle is made of black 410 stainless steel, adding durability and a rugged contrast to the design. The framelock mechanism ensures the blade stays securely in place during use, providing the reliability you need when tackling tough jobs.

Designed for everyday carry, the CQC-4K folds down to 4.2 inches, making it compact enough to slip into your pocket without taking up too much space. The reversible tip-up pocket clip gives you flexibility in how you carry it, and the lanyard hole allows for additional customization with a paracord or keychain attachment. Weighing in at just 4.1 ounces, it strikes the perfect balance between durability and portability.

Whether you're an experienced knife user or someone looking to upgrade their EDC setup, the Kershaw CQC-4K delivers top-tier performance at an unbeatable value. It’s built for those who demand a reliable cutting tool that’s as tough as it is functional.
