Some years back I wanted an Emerson CQC-7 but as they were quite expensive I bought, and have been very happy with, a Benchmade of similar design. Reading some recent posts I saw that many others also liked the knife so I trotted off to the local gun/knife show to see some of the stuff ya'll were talking about and maybe find the larger version (I've got the smaller one, about3.25" blade and 8.00" overall). Well, the knife dealers said Benchmade no longer made that style but one fellow had the real thing for $100! Fill me in. I'm thrilled to have this Emerson, but why so cheap? Was the original CQC-7 8.0" or more like the larger model that Benchmade offered? This one has a serrated area at the back of the blade, the dealer said he thought the original had no serrations? Thanks for any help.
