Vemon...I never tire of looking at your knife postings. You Sir,IMHO have very good taste in knives and it is always a pleasure to see what others on the other side of the world have and carry.

I've been carrying a Emerson/Kershaw CQC-6 for about a year. It's so far been an absolute favorite for edc. It's just the perfect size. I do wish though, that it held an edge longer. It'll get scary sharp, but it goes away quickly. Warpig's thread in the lounge had me looking at Emerson's site today. Anyone know how the Traveler SF would compare in size? I only see blade and handle lengths on the site, and frankly sometimes these numbers are a little misleading to me. My first was a micro commander. Now that I'm used to the Kershaw, the micro commander is too big (just to give you my ideas of what's too big). I like not having to remove the knife to get to my truck keys. | |||

When you say "too big" how so? The Commanders are pretty stout when folded. The standard size CQC-7 has about the same pocket presence since the knives are about as tall and thick, even though the -7 is longer by a good amount. Here's a quick comparison showing folded height. Micro Commander in front, followed by CQC-7, then an SOCFK, Mini Commander, and the wide-body in back is the short bladed CQC-14. The 14 is easy as heck to open due to the width and height of the wave, but I'll admit it sticks into the pocket a lot and eats up room for your hand. This is one of the reasons I don't really carry a knife in my pocket anymore. I do at work when there's nothing in my pocket, but daily I use a neck knife or my mini-Griptilian in a custom belt holster Dustin @ Ozarks Holsters made me. | |||

I guess that folded height is the correct value. I'm going to guess that the micro commander and the little Kershaw were both approaching 4" in length, and 1/2" thick. But micro was probable 'guessing here' 1-1/4" folded height and the CQC-6 is a slim (guessing here also) 3/4" The Traveler specs show folded length and thickness, which aren't far off from the micro commander, but the folded height appears to be closer to my Kershaw. That's ultimately what I'd like to know. | |||

I need to start carrying my -7! Right now it sits on my desk at work for odd tasks. It was an abused 2001 model I got cheap and sent into Emerson for a tuneup. Edit: I think a non-waved A might find its way into my collection. | |||

Let me know if that old 7 of yours needs a home. I must have went back at looked at that photo you posted of it 20 times. Maybe I can put non waved in its place. ________________________________ | |||

I sold a newer one in better shape with a smooth pivot to keep this old beat up one. Also, the two new ones came in today. Shown with a Mini Commander for reference. Have to take apart the A100 tonight this thing is TIGHT. Relube, shave the lock side scale at work tomorrow, reassemble. I'll throw on a Grey Precision monster thumb disc first to see if it's really needed though. | |||

Been meaning to order one of the Grey Precision thumb discs. While I have picked up a few recently, I haven't found one that I want to beat up on for everyday use. ________________________________ | |||

I've had two Monsters. Polished and matte titanium. I didn't like the polished one, too much like chrome. I could have probably anodized it or something. The matte looks great on the beater CQC-7. And the polished bronze on a normal size with a SF blade looks great, not sure how it would turn out in a monster. | |||
