I bought this knife at a retail establishment and like others here I found the blade to go off center easily due to cheap screws made of exceedingly soft metal. The pocket grab feature is phenomenal but not enough to keep me from going back to my rat II from ontario knives or the HK folder I got more recently.

I own almost all models in the Kershaw/Emerson line and I can confirm that QC is all over the place. Several examples I have operate great, have good centering, and reasonably sturdy hardware, and others don't. A few can only get the blade centered when the pivot screw is torqued to an unacceptable degree, making the pivot way too tight. They are all made in China, but I imagine some may be produced in different plants, or the QC just sucks.
If you're interested, I would recommend a 6054 (CQC-4k) in whatever color suits your fancy. I have several and none of them have any issues.

DepthChargeThat's funny as I have had the opposite experience. The couple CQC-4k I have are complete garbage with horrible actions and centering issues. Their big brothers CQC-4k XL are the opposite. Fantastic knives all around and the only ones the flip open always if you use the thumb disk rather than the Emerson opener. I think I have the 6 and 7 too and they are good but not as nice and the XL.
I think you are probably right that QC is uneven and it may depend from which particular batch you end up buying.

I have a few versions of the Kershaw/Emerson, this one included, and they're pretty much my only EDC anymore. The functionality of the Wave hook thingy is the best invention for pocket knives since the pocket clip. Easy one-handed open/close. Phenomenal value. The steel may not be the best quality ever, but keep your blade clean and sharp and it's perfectly workable.

First a disclosure: I am a knife snob so take my comment with a grain of salt. The design of this knife is excelent adn the emerson wave is the best opening gimic around in my opinion. The problem withthis knife is the cheap steel used on the blade. It will not hold an edge for very long...of course it is only $22 bucks and as $22 knives go i don;t think you could do better than this. I would like to see a drop for a proper Emerson knife. Last I checked they make their knives from CM154 which while not the best, is an excelent knife steel.

...except that you just acknowledged that you're buying a ripped off design from a Chinese company, instead of buying from an American company. If Ganzo starts producing original designs, they would be worth looking at.

Why is this not shippable to Australia? Our import laws allow flippers nowadays and this isn't assisted opening...

Absolutely! Why will they happily ship Kershaw knives, that have a speed-assist opening to Australia, when they WON'T get through, and this will import fine, but they won't ship?!

Hey, MD. Whatever is the reason that you don't have a picture of the reverse side?

Anyone know what kind of washers? I assume Teflon or Nylon.
Other than that another fabulously underwhelming showing from Kershaw. I would gladly pay an extra $10 or $15 if they'd just use some quality steel.
