I carry one and love it. You can send it in to protech and they can put a drop pointblade on it for you. The cost is $50.I received a First Run CQC7 Protech from my boss as an Xmas gift. I like both Protechs and Emersons but I'm not a fan of tanto blades. The knife is very nice though. I especially like the knurled handle. What are you thoughts on this knife?
