Hello fellas
I'm looking at supplementing my collection with the addition of an Emerson. I'm looking for an all around tough EDC knife and cannot decide between the CQC7 and the Horseman. I'm curious if the chisel grind of the CQC or the "v" grind of the Horseman will better serve me on an everyday basis.
The CQC-7 is iconic, the blade shape and just the lines of whole knife are amazing. The chisel grind is intriguing, but worries me for a reason I just can't put my finger on.. (Asymmetrical blade design=OCD??)
The Horseman seems like the logical choice, with the normal-ish blade, but for some reason doesn't seem quite as stout. Another nagging thought lodged in my mind is if I go for the Horseman, should I just step up to the CQC-8?
Which ones do you prefer and why?
Thanks for spending the time to read my post
p.s. sorry if this post is a bit scatterbrained, I don't really have anyone to talk to about these types of (1st world) problems so all my thoughts tend to come out at once.
