SureFire commissioned Ernest Emerson of Emerson Knives to create a new, limited edition folding knife that would be sold with a uniquely finished SureFire C2 Centurion® flashlight. The Emerson knife is a production version of what was formerly available only as a custom made piece, the famed CQC-8 that Emerson collectors refer to as the "banana knife" because of its original blade shape. It uses a non-slip G10 grip and is finished with a tough, corrosion resistant coating.

The C2 Centurion is precision-machined from aerospace-grade aluminum with an anti-roll bezel and is protected by a military-specification black hard anodized finish. We have never offered black hard anodizing on a C2 before the Emerson collaboration. It utilizes an ergonomic flat-side CombatGrip design and a patented rubber grip ring so that the light can be operated with a handgun using the Rogers/SureFire technique. Powered by two lithium batteries (10-year shelf life), the C2 Centurion produces 65 lumens of light for over an hour, or 120 lumens for 20 minutes using an optional ultra high output lamp (P61)

As a tactical tool, SureFire handheld flashlights are proven in the field with the very same dedicated operators at a nearby SEAL base where Emerson's blades have received so much real-world testing. Only 1,000 sets with matching serial numbers have been made.
