Review: Smooth as melted butter - WARNING! This blade comes with a seriously sharpened edge. Upon arrival I inspected the knife for it's quality given the south of $100 price. For its probable uses this knife gives you an affordable yet high quality components fitted into a smaller EDC everyday carry blade. The D2 steel is favorite of mine due to it's a overall Rockwell hardness rating and it's easier of putting a fine edge on it when needed after hard use. D2 is a perfect and affordable steel when a $400+ blade just isn't practical when children need to eat and buying this years schools supplies is right around the corner. G10 scale is also impressive since most knife makers at higher costs are also using it. Stainless liners and a solid lock up are also a plus. The Emerson Wave feature. Here's where it gets scary. First time out of my jeans pocket I cut two fingers and required bandages for bleeding control. Please, practice the opening carefully with what ever pants, slacks, jeans or hikers you plan on carrying this knife in. It's critical to learn this procedure properly without needing first aid essentials close nearby. My first attempt at deploying the blade was with jeans that a bit of elastine in them and pocket stretches when clipped into place. This caused me to struggle a bit since the knife clip is very tight against jeans pockets. Hence the two slices fingers. Aside from needing to practice the deployment of this blade carefully I'm certain you'll be impressed by this Kershaw addition to its manufacturing inventory. Stay safe! Review: Great quality and price - Great knife at an even better price. I always wanted the original Emerson wave, but at $250 or so couldn't justify it being another EDC addition. Now that Kershaw has the rights to produce it, you still get a good quality knife at a much better price... especially when you have others and you don't really "need" another knife. Beware, you will have to practice withdrawing this from your pocket to open properly. You will also need to practice taking it out of your pocket and keeping the blade closed! Yes it will open that easily. But practice on older heavy duty pants, to avoid ruining the corner of thin pants/shorts as you need to 'catch the wave' on the pocket corner. You will have to be cautious at first in handling it, and the blade locking feature is my least favorite so needing to adapt to it, as opposed to the Benchmade I used to carry. The blade seems plenty sharp, I'm really really resisting cutting anything and everything in sight to preserve the edge, I bought this a personal defense EDC not a box cutter. The overall size and thickness are easy in all my pockets so far. Two color is great. ## Features - EMERSON POCKET KNIFE: A modern EDC built with high-carbon D2 steel and Emerson's innovative manual opening, the Kershaw-Emerson CQC-6K is a durable folding knife made for everyday tasks. - MODIFIED CLIP POINT BLADE: Made from D2 high-carbon steel for increased wear resistance, edge retention and strength.

Thus the increase in price. It's worth the extra cash IMO. **Q: where is it made** A: China **Q: What kind of washers does this use?** A: They are nylon or Teflon. Some low-friction synthetic. **Q: does it accidentally open while in pocket?** A: Has not for me. How ever when pulling from pocket the wave hook can be engaged and open the knife. This is a feature you have to practice using. If you want it to open fast on the way out you pull back. If not you pull forward more to keep it from engaging. Great knife for the money. I have two of these and one original Emerson. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smooth as melted butter *by S***D on August 2, 2025* WARNING! This blade comes with a seriously sharpened edge.

Two color is great. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing knife for the price *by A***R on October 6, 2017* Good knife at any price; amazing knife at this price. Can be opened easily by snagging the hook on the edge of your pocket, using the thumb disk with either hand, or by "waving" it open (gripping the rear end of the handle and using the weight of the blade and a snap of the wrist to flick the knife open). The bead blast finish on the blade is very classy and resists scratches better than a polish finish or a black coating. The blade finish feels slick (like a Teflon pan), as if it would slide through tough material like hemp or leather without binding. The curve of the blade packs a lot of effective edge into a shorter overall length. It's heavier than a comparable knife of this size because the frame lock side of the handle is solid stainless steel; the other side is thin steel and thick G10. The G10 side feels high quality, like the handles on the spyderco military and barong I've owned. The knife handle feels excellent in the hand. It is thick and heavy at the bottom of the palm, but thin and ergonomic between the thumb and index finger. This lends a fluid and facile feel to the blade; it feels like a scimitar. The knife is heavier than similar sized knives one side is solid stainless, but it's not burdensome. The lockup is rock solid, and the part of the frame that composes the lock is very thick. It's a good knife for EDC if you wear sturdy pants. Otherwise, it would be a great knife for the tackle box, tool box, or glove box. Big downside: you can't use the pocket snag to open beer bottles. I have a spyderco delica with the licensed Emerson opening feature, and it opens beer bottles better than anything else. Doesn't work with this knife because the opener is shaped differently. Not a deal breaker, but once you get used to the spyderco... ## Frequently Bought Together - Kershaw Emerson CQC-K Pocket Knives, Manual Opening Folding Knife with Wave Shaped Feature, Multiple Styles - Kershaw Knives 9000841-SSI E-Train Fine Edge Folding Knife Blue - multi, N/A --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/165425814-emerson-cqc-k-pocket-knives-manual-opening-folding-knife-wave](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/165425814-emerson-cqc-k-pocket-knives-manual-opening-folding-knife-wave) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
