ProTech Emerson CQC7 Automatic Knife Black Drop Point/Black Aluminum AUPTE7A3

The ProTech Emerson CQC7 Automatic Knife delivers the fast action, rugged strength, and precision craftsmanship serious knife users expect. Built in the USA through the collaboration between ProTech and Emerson, this automatic folder blends proven tactical design with premium materials, resulting in a dependable tool ready for everyday carry or demanding situations.

Its 3.19-inch drop point blade is crafted from 154CM stainless steel, a trusted blade steel known for strong edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall durability. The drop point profile offers excellent versatility, providing a reinforced tip for piercing tasks while maintaining a long, controlled cutting edge for slicing and utility work. The black finish gives the blade a sleek tactical appearance while adding an extra layer of protection against wear and corrosion.

Deployment is lightning fast with the push-button automatic mechanism. A simple press fires the blade open with the crisp, authoritative snap ProTech automatics are known for. Once deployed, the same button functions as the lock release, allowing controlled and secure closure. The system is smooth, reliable, and built for consistent performance when quick access matters.

The handle is constructed from black anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, offering impressive strength without unnecessary weight. Its clean machining provides a comfortable grip and durable structure designed to stand up to everyday use. A stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife secure and accessible, allowing it to ride comfortably in your pocket while remaining ready when needed.

Measuring 4.69 inches closed and weighing approximately 4.1 ounces, the CQC7 carries easily while maintaining a solid, confident feel in hand. Its balanced size makes it ideal for both daily tasks and tactical applications.
