The QSP Penguin is indeed available in so many different configurations and prices- I happen to have one in “Imperial White” with a black M390 blade, it’s somewhat more pricey in that configuration but still good for what you get. Thanks for a great review!
NIce. My son likes this style of knife so it may end up in his possession. I have enjoyed using this knife and it fits the pocket well. Thanks for watching.
I got the basic D2 one when they first came out. A couple things I noticed that I think make it the best $35 knife out there. 1.) the stainless steel liners are a solid 1-2mm thicker then any other brand. 2.) they have higher end machining a la WE knives and Reate.. which means you’re going to get a well done blade. 3.) piggybacking on 2 a bit.. their grind and sharpened edge comes scalpel sharp from the factory almost guaranteed 4.) maybe the most important, they source and heat treat great quality steel(s). For $35 this is what I’d get if you want something a little more fancy looking and small. For a bigger $35 work knife I’d get a Byrd Cara Cara 2.
I like the looks of those green handle scales and the black blade looks nice! Great review and I like your opinions on the knife. Do you have the parrot too?
@@thecanadianedge1 I ordered the Hawk and sent it back as soon as I unboxed it. The ceramic detent ball was missing and it would not stay closed. I researched the Hawk and others said the same thing happened to them after owning it for a while. I am not sure if other QSP knives have the same problem with losing the ceramic detent balls. I would advise against purchasing the Hawk. I do also own the Leopard and the Gannet so I hope the ceramic detent ball does not fall out of them if they have it!

G10, D2, super price and great blade alignment....What's not to like? Awesome review Brian! Thanks
All good things in a budget knife. Thanks Jay for continually taking time to watch and encourage. It is greatly appreciated. Take care my friend.
At distance the tip and a ways down looks identical to boxcutter shape in my eye.
Very similar and it works well for cutting boxes. Thanks for taking time to watch my friend.
I love mine probably going to pick up another and the mini penguin when it drops, that’s in 14c28n.
I was not aware of the mini Penguin. I will have to watch for that. Glad you are enjoying your knife. Thanks for taking time to watch.

I do have the Parrot and like it a lot. Thanks for the encouragement and for taking time to watch.
@@thecanadianedge1I also have both the Parrot and the Penguin and for the affordable, budget price range I think they are great designs.
@@bladesandmore8833 They are a good price and design. I would like to get the Hawk as well.
