mattja Member Joined Jan 2001 Posts 3271 EE Offline CA, USA	Posted: 5/31/2002 4:50:14 AM EDT 58sniper, already have the Mini CQC7B, but I am really considering getting the full size like you said. The more, the merrier. mr_wilson & sitedev, not looking for consumables. Besides, I can hide the knives from the wife better than 2 cases of ammo. he he :) But those Cold Steel's look very nice.

I'm VERY happy with mine. I got one when he (Emerson) was making them at Benchmade. About two weeks after I got mine with the gray blade, they came out with the black blade. I was a little bummed.

The ONLY problem I've had with mine is the belt clip got a little bent. An email to Benchmade got a free replacement.

It's thin, got a "gripy" surface, and strong as hell. You can't go wrong.

I also carry a Timberline spring assisted, a CRKT Kiss (actually 2, a big and a small), and a Cold Steel Kobun. All are nice. I also have a CRKT Bearclaw on my tac vest.

I've had 2 CRKT M16's and they're a nice knife. Two problems I've had with them. The blades are prone to surface rust in a big way, from just everyday carry. I didn't carry them as utility knives, and they were rarely if ever used for such. Also, the liner lock gets sloppy after a while, it's happened on both of mine. Maybe thats because I like to play with them, who knows.

I have an Emerson Commander, a CQC-7Wave, a clip Point Blackbird, and a clip point and a tanto point Raven. Consider a Mini-Commander. The Commander is kinda big but is an excellent knife if you have a lot of carving to do and you have room in your pocket. Be very careful with any Emerson knife with the wave feature. The blade WILL open as you draw it from your pocket unless you take precautions against it.

O3SKILL Joined Feb 2001 Posts 215 EE Offline VA, USA	Posted: 5/31/2002 4:12:45 PM EDT $200.00 = Microtech Auto SOCOM Elite I would recommend the black oxide finish with the partially serrated blade. Very choice!! ________________________________________________ Semper-Fi, 03 out!! [sniper]

mattja Member Joined Jan 2001 Posts 3288 EE Offline CA, USA	Posted: 6/1/2002 12:34:53 AM EDT Dave_G, I believe that. I think some guys are filing them off to be safe. Actually, if they had one without the wave, I would probably feel more comfortable with it.

I'd look around and find a nice Microtech fullsize SOCOM, which can be had for 200 bones if you shop. Best damn knife I've ever owned (and I have an Emerson).

Submariner Joined Jan 2001 Posts 198 EE Offline IN, USA	Posted: 6/2/2002 3:31:22 AM EDT I'd save up another $150.00 and buy a Strider GB (tanto point) or AR (spear point). Thicker than an Emerson and truly bomb-proof.

SteveG Joined Nov 2000 Posts 146 EE Offline CA, USA	Posted: 6/2/2002 4:26:16 AM EDT Emrerson Commnader...or like Submariner said save the extra $$$ and get a Strider GB or AR....I have a GB (#014) and it truly is "bomb-proof" to quote Submariner.... Take care, Steve
