I do love me the Emerson "wave" opener. I carried a full-size Emerson Commander for years and have been using a Spyderco Delica with a licensed version of the "wave" since sometime last year. When I saw that Emerson was collaborating with Kershaw to do budget-priced versions of some classic Emerson designs, I couldn't say no. At the last Indy 1500 I picked up this CQC-5K from Brad's Knives.
With its convenient 3" blade, it carries pretty much as easily as the slightly slimmer Delica. I think I'll tote it around for a while.
