This tactical tanto is from Kershaw Knives and Emerson Knives who joined forces for a series of knives that combine the precision engineering of Kershaw with Emerson's uncompromising functional design. The CQC-8K features a single-bevel tanto blade—which means it is razor sharp. Black-oxide coating protects the blade and makes it non-reflective. G10 handles provide secure grip and a locking liner means safe and solid blade lock up.
