This week on Spotlight Series we’re looking at a refreshingly slim and carry-friendly design from Quartermaster Knives: this is the QSE-8 Emmett Doc Brown flipper.

The Doc Brown – yet another quality reference from the pop-culture-happy naming gurus at Quartermaster – is a collaboration project between the company and designer Austin Weiss. The final product retains a rock-solid construction while easing away from the rather bulking, tank-like structure of other Quartermaster models.

The modified wharncliffe blade is three-point-seven inch long and made from CPM 154 stainless steel with either a Texas Tea stonewash or limo tint finish. Its slim, tapered look took some getting used to, especially coming from a company like Quartermaster, but I’ve started to appreciate the understated and utilitarian design.

The action on this thing is crazy fast thanks to the nice-sized flipper feature and smooth movement along the ORB pivot system. Combine that with a great titanium frame lock and you have a knife that is a real joy to open and close. Total weight is just over four-and-a-half ounces, giving the knife a solid level of portability.

Overall, the QSE-8 Doc Brown is a nice addition to the Quartermaster line up, and probably my single favorite design from them so far. You can click the annotation or the link in the description to see more, and check back every week for a new episode of Spotlight Series. Have a great day.
