The ProTech Emerson CQC7 Automatic Knife delivers fast, reliable performance in a compact design built for everyday carry and hard-use confidence. This version is fitted with a 3.19” 154CM stainless steel tanto blade finished in a striking two-tone blend of satin and black coating. The contrast finish gives the blade a layered, tactical appearance while helping reduce glare and adding a bit of extra surface protection for real-world wear. The tanto geometry reinforces the tip for added strength, making it a dependable choice for piercing tasks and controlled cutting work, while the push-button automatic action provides quick, consistent deployment with solid lockup once engaged.
The handle brings both visual depth and functional grip through black and tan swirled Burl G-10. The layered pattern gives each piece a unique, organic look while the textured G-10 construction ensures a secure hold in a wide range of conditions. It balances durability with comfort, giving the knife a confident feel in hand without adding unnecessary weight. A stainless steel pocket clip supports secure pocket carry, and the compact closed profile keeps it easy to carry daily without bulk or snag.
