The Emerson CQC15 is one of the most innovative knives I've ever used. I really find the tantcom blade shape IDEAL. Prior to getting the full-sized Stonewashed edition shown in this photo, I'd been enjoying a frost-finished one...and a mini with the Stonewashed finish. Absolutely wonderful knives. I've said it before, but the 2010 Emerson's are the best. The QC on them is absolutely impeccable and the folding action is smoother than ever. Yep, I'm an Emerson-superfreak.
