The ProTech Emerson CQC7 Automatic Knife delivers the fast deployment, rugged strength, and precision craftsmanship that serious knife users demand. Built in the USA through the collaboration between ProTech and Emerson, this automatic folder combines tactical performance with premium materials in a sleek, dependable design made for everyday carry and demanding situations.
Its 3.19-inch drop point blade is crafted from 154CM stainless steel, a proven blade steel known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness. The drop point profile offers outstanding versatility, giving you a strong tip for piercing tasks while maintaining a long, controlled cutting edge for slicing and detailed work. Finished in a matte gray coating, the blade has a subdued tactical appearance while adding an extra layer of protection against wear and corrosion during hard use.
This knife deploys instantly with a push of the button, delivering the crisp, authoritative action ProTech automatics are known for. The out-the-side automatic mechanism fires the blade open with impressive speed and locks it firmly into place, giving you immediate access to a ready cutting edge when it matters most. The push button also serves as the release, allowing safe and controlled blade closure.
The handle is crafted from anodized blue aircraft-grade aluminum, offering a strong yet lightweight frame that’s comfortable in hand and built to withstand daily carry. Its clean machining and durable finish provide excellent grip and long-lasting reliability. A stainless steel pocket clip ensures secure carry and quick access when needed.
Measuring 4.69 inches closed and weighing just 4.1 ounces, the CQC7 balances portability with solid in-hand feel. Its compact profile carries easily while remaining substantial enough for real work.
