ProTech Emerson CQC7 Automatic Knife Acid Wash Tanto/Black Aluminum with Blue Black G-10 AUPTE7T34

The ProTech Emerson CQC7 Automatic Knife is built for fast, reliable deployment in a compact frame that’s ready for everyday carry or hard-use environments. This version pairs a 3.19” 154CM stainless steel tanto blade with an acid-washed finish that helps disguise wear while giving the steel a rugged, broken-in character right out of the box. The tanto profile adds reinforced tip strength, making it well-suited for piercing tasks and controlled utility cuts, while the push-button automatic action delivers quick, decisive opening with a firm lockup you can trust.

The handle construction is split for both function and visual contrast. The rear scale is black aircraft-grade aluminum, keeping weight down while maintaining strength and rigidity. The front scale is blue and black G-10, adding enhanced grip texture and a layered look that stands out without sacrificing practicality. Together, the materials create a balanced feel in hand, with secure ergonomics that support confident handling in real-world use. A stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife anchored in carry, and its compact closed length preserves pocket comfort without bulk.
