If you are searching for a solid and slightly larger EDC-knife, than this is your knife! It's solid as a rock and comes very sharp out of the box. It's not too expensive but never the less the blade is made out of a high quality steel (420HC Stainless). The handle is made of black textured thermoplastic. The locking mechanism is a lockback and the knife is lightweight and extremely durable!!It comes with a lanyard hole for easy access. Carry System:removable pocket clip and above all: made in the U.S.A. by the famous American knife manufacturer BUCK!

WINNER OF THE 2014 BLADE SHOW'S BEST BUY AWARD
Kershaw Knives and Emerson Knives have joined forces on a series of knives that combine the precision engineering of Kershaw with Emerson's uncompromising functional design.
The CQC-7K features a modified tanto blade for both slicing and punching capability. The blade has two finishes: a satin finish on the upper and a stonewashed finish on the grind. The handle's front scale of textured G-10 offers a secure grip and the handle's stainless steel back has a solid frame lock.
The CQC-7K is a manual opener using either the thumb disk or the patented Emerson "wave shaped feature." This opening feature enables the knife to be opened as it is removed from the pocket. By the time the knife has been fully withdrawn from the pocket, the blade is deployed and ready for use. A small wave-shaped tab on the top of the blade is built to catch on the pocket seam, opening the knife as it comes out of the pocket. This instant-open feature is a favorite among military, rescue, and law enforcement knife users.
The pocketclip is reversible for left- or right-handed carry.

This is the best case knife hands down. I'm a hunting guide in New Mexico and I've always used a Trapper. The problem was that it didn't lock and was easy to close on the hand when using pressure to puncture tough bull elk hide. I also never carried it as far as EDC was concerned because it didn't have a pocket clip and it couldn't be opened with one hand. This knife locks, has a pocket clip, thumb stud for one handed opening and has a great blade for cleaning game. Perfect for everything for me. You won't regret buying this knife

Used this knife in the high mountains of Afghanistan 2005. We did not baby this knife in any way and I can't believe how well it looks after the entire squad put it to use. I have no trouble sharpening with the apex edge pro sharpener. Too heavy to carry on body for hikes. I straped mine to my ruck. Be warned, every Marine who held this knife now owns one. Bought mine through hedgehog leather works with one of their fantastic sheaths for it.

Paid $94 on eBay. Was well worth it to me for S3VN, USA made, rock solid lockback and the sick Spyderco ergos (Small to medium hands). I would purchase it again.

Excellent knife. I use it as my EDC knife. Some people say it's a little heavy, but I find the heft to be perfect.No alignment issues and super easy to open. Good edge retention, easy to sharpen and the ergonomics are impressive.

The Kershaw Camber is design as a smaller brother of the s30v Blur. The Camber has taken what was good about the Blur and improved on it. Giving us a deeper ride pocket clip, thicker liner lock, and bigger guard for stabbing tasks. All in all this is a perfect EDC knife at a good price for USA made s30v steel. You will not regret it!

This knife is designed to be a high quality, hard use utility/camp knife. The s30v steel holds a great edge, the ergos are great in a natural grip or a reverse stabbing grip. The design is great for all your utility/camp tasks. Very good fit and finish also.

Sharpest folding knife I own and have ever seen. I don't even carry it because it is so scary sharp. There is no hilt or flipper to stop your hand from slipping forward just the excellent G10 panels. I would be afraid to stab with it because of these facts though slashing would be very effective.

whyd you buy it if you're not carrying it?

I have seen this knife in videos and I immediately wanted one. Ive had it for a few days just carrying it around work, sometimes going out of my way to find something to cut. I was surprised at how smooth and nice the G10 scales felt. The pocket clip isnt tight, but will keep the knife secure in your pocket. I love the smooth deployment. GET THIS KNIFE!!!
