Its G-10. The newer models just have more texture. If you're ever in doubt, just run a lighter under it. Polymer will melt/deformJust got this older 2004 cqc7. It feels very different from the newer cqc7s I’ve owned. I’ve owned about 6 other cqc7 not including my HD7 but this is the oldest one yet.
For one thing it has twin titanium liners. It has a thinner locking liner. The edges around the g10 are chamfered. The g10 feels less textures but that might just be wear. (Don’t think that’s the case though as even under the clip it is relatively light texturing)
Also does anyone know if Emerson always used real g10? It may be the texture but for some reason it almost feels like faux g10 on this old girl.
Most excellent, that is beautiful! I've never really paid much attention to the Specwar, but my eyes are open now.Beautiful Specwar!
I missed out on a black 2000 just like that around a year ago and have been kicking myself since.
But I made up for it; I have a hard chrome 2001 sitting at my brothers place waiting for him to bring it next visit. He forgot last time and the suspense is killing me.
Love the scales on your 7. It looks like blue denim Micarta. May I ask who made them?
Speaking of Denim Micarta, I just ordered some omn Etsy, planning on getting Andrew Charlet to Po'Boy my Gypsy Jack with it.Love the scales on your 7. It looks like blue denim Micarta. May I ask who made them?
