Until further notice, all Emerson knives will be sold directly through Emerson. We apologize for any inconvenience. The Mini CQC-7 came about due to tremendous demand from Emerson's customers for a smaller version of the signature CQC-7 knife. This knife has all of the qualities that have made it the legendary knife that it has become, but now with the lightening quick "wave opening feature". The sub 3" blade makes it legal in almost all locations. This CQC-7 has a stone wash finished blade with partial serrations. Information from Emerson Knives
