Thanks for the nice pics.
You know, I had an emerson kind of like that, it was a prodction CQC-8W, and I couldn't stand it. The chisel grind on the blade made the knife unuseable as an EDC tool. It didn't cut straight, I couldn't cut away from myself, etc. There was so much wrong with it, it made me want to cry because it was so well made, and so well respected.
So I sold it to a kid and got the spyderco manix, which I love.
I'm on the hunt now for a GW with a snakewood handle. I think that would just about be the ultimate EDC for me.
