Though Emerson knives lack total refinement (some of the machining marks are left in on nearly all Emerson knives), I really enjoy them. The knife that you see in this photo is a "Horseman". It's the smallest in the CQC-8 family. I happen to have the beautiful stonewashed series on the Horseman, standard-sized CQC-8 and the Super CQC-8. I do appreciate how smoothly Emerson knives open and close.
