下面是USN的Jbravo(Emerson刀具百科全书级人物)给的关于CQC-8的设计来源
Although best known for the CQC6 folder, the knife that Ernie Emerson is often most closely associated with when discussing military units is the CQC8. It has a soldierly background - he developed the 8 with primary inputs from Chris Carracci, a former Navy SEAL. (If you look at the Benchmade ATCF, you'll see the handles are very similar to an 8, also because Chris designed that knife for Benchmade.) It is also frequently mentioned in connection with the REKAT Hobbit, but keep in mind that both folders were developed 15 to 20 years after the war in VietNam, so the Hobbit influence is probably just background 'noise' of tactical knife users having a general idea about it.
It is my understanding that the original batch of CQC8s were deeply hand contoured G10 handles, black titanium oxide coating, chisel grind, and tip up clip. They made their debut in 1994, and the very first ones were presented to the former members of Dick Marcinko's SEAL team for their 'reunion' tour of Viet Nam in 1994-5. These versions remain some of the rarest and most desired knives Ernie ever made. The next version was similar, but with the slick black T coating, and flatter, hand shaped handles. These were followed by satin bladed knives, all chisel ground, with flat black machined G-10 handles. In recent years, he's added bolsters to some, double ground some, and begun to make a production version of the knife.
According to Ernie, back in the '90s, he made a very few with gut hooks of them as special orders from active duty SEALs. These were personal knife orders, though, not issued knives. He has repeatedly stated that the production knives have been issued to members of the SAS as well, but (obviously) the issue story there is unconfirmed! In the sense of its usage and design, the CQC8 is a tactical folder that merits the name. |
