Product Description
The legendary collaboration between Kershaw’s precision engineering and Ernest Emerson’s functional design reaches a new level of performance with the CQC-6K D2. This upgraded edition swaps standard stainless steel for high-carbon, high-chromium D2 tool steel, a favorite among professional knifemakers for its superior hardness and exceptional edge retention. Whether you’re on duty or tackling everyday tasks, the D2 blade ensures a longer-lasting, sharper edge in a package built for uncompromising use.
The 3.25-inch modified drop point blade features a sophisticated two-tone finish, with a clean satin finish on the upper and a rugged, wear-hiding stonewash on the grind. Designed for rapid response, the CQC-6K D2 features the patented Emerson "Wave Shaped Feature®." This small tab on the spine is designed to catch the pocket seam, deploying the blade instantly as the knife is withdrawn. For traditional manual opening, a textured thumb disk is also provided. The handle is built for a "lock-in" feel, featuring a high-traction textured G-10 front scale and a solid 410 stainless steel back with a rock-solid frame lock.
