The ProTech Emerson CQC7 Automatic Knife with Punisher Skull graphics delivers bold tactical style backed by the precision engineering ProTech is known for. Built in the USA through a collaboration with Emerson, this automatic folder pairs a legendary knife design with premium materials, fast action, and distinctive details that make it stand out in both performance and appearance.
The 3.19-inch tanto blade is crafted from durable 154CM stainless steel, offering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and dependable toughness. Its reinforced tanto tip is designed for piercing strength and demanding cutting tasks, while the straight cutting edge provides clean slicing performance. The blade features a striking two-tone finish that combines satin and black coating, highlighting the grind lines while adding extra protection against wear and corrosion. The contrast between finishes gives the knife a sharp, tactical look that complements its aggressive profile.
ProTech’s out-the-side automatic mechanism provides instant blade deployment with a simple press of the push button. The blade fires open with the crisp, authoritative snap the brand is famous for and locks securely into place during use. Pressing the button again releases the blade for controlled closure, creating a system that’s smooth, reliable, and built for consistent performance.
The handle is constructed from black anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, delivering exceptional strength while remaining lightweight and comfortable to carry. The front handle proudly displays the iconic Punisher skull graphic, adding unmistakable character to the knife’s tactical styling. A stainless steel pocket clip ensures secure carry, while the lanyard hole is fitted with a braided cord lanyard finished with a pewter Punisher skull bead for added grip and visual impact.
Measuring 4.69 inches closed and weighing approximately 4.1 ounces, the CQC7 offers a balanced size that carries easily while still providing a solid, capable feel in hand.
