I am no expert,but I do make my own fixed blade carry knives,and my collection of knives by other makers is quite extensive,so here is my opinion for what it'sworth.The CQC7 is an excellent carry folder.I have one clipped in my pocket right now.If you have a choice get the Emerson Knives Inc. CQC.All of it's edges are radiused,and it has a reversable pocket clip for ambi carry.If size is not an issue for you I highly recomend the Emerson Commander.It is what I would carry if legal size was not an issue.You may also want to consider a small fixed blade.They are k.i.s.s. simple,and quick into action.The Boker Bud Nealey Specialist is one outstanding example of the small defensive fixed blade.That is my 2 cents.Good luck,and let us know what you decide on.
