Originally the CQC 6 was 3.25" and CQC 7
was 3.45". The CQC 6 had a somewhat narrower and tapered handle and butt. The CQC 7 has a wider and more blunt butt. The 6 was slightly
shorter in length. 7's are rarer to come by
than 6's. Both are excellent knives and represent innovative and cutting edge (no pun intended) technologie for their time. Additionally, some of the 6's & 7's feature excellent file work on both top and bottom of Bolsters. Facilitating a extremely secure purchase/indexing of Knife
They can be found at the larger Knife Shows.
Be patient and persistant! Good Luck !

As with the "armed sentry removal" post, your reply is both impressively imformative and appreciated. You answered a long standing question of mine. I take it you have been a fan of Ernest's work for some time?

Tamishigiri, you missed a minor difference between the two. On the 6, the spine of the blade towards the tip has a distinct angle, while the 7 has more of a radius. I don't know if the 7 would be a drop point or a clip pointed tanto.

Dirk makes a good point. You will notice that sometimes there are anomalies and abberations on the blades. I call it the Hand Ground Human Factor. A number of my Blades fixed and Folders are different,
denoteing the true Custom Made nature of some of the Knives.
