I don't think benchmade still makes them though.

Unfortunately, Im inclined to agree. Ive also had an Emerson CQC 7 since the seventh grade, though mine has the black teflon coating which makes it slightly cooler than Gregs.
Its a great knife and Benchmade customer service is hard to beat. I once watched a buddy try to cut a live high voltage power line with a CQC 7. Almost melted the blade clean in half. He sent it in. Benchmade didnt ask any questions, just threw a new blade on there and shipped it back.
