So glad you guys have had that much success with the Penguin and the new variants should continue the huge run of success. I am hoping for a slip joint as soon as I can snag one.
My favorite knife above all else is the regular QSP Penguin, with micarta scales. BUT... what would make it even better is simply making it with a flipper tab and not slapping a premium price tag on it. Keep up the great work, i own 4 penguins and 1 mini Penguin and always recommend it to everyone for a good solid, value for money edc. 🙂👍
Hi David, I received my QSP Penguin button lock, and I love it!! I am A Civivi button lock fan, and I hoped that they would marry their button lock Elementum and their Wharnecliff Elementum, but they have not. Both my Altus and Cogent had very bad lock stick. My Penguin has none. I've never had a folder with both thumbstuds and a flipper, so it took me a few minutes to learn how to hold the Penguin, when using the thumbstud, so that I didn't stop the deployment, by blocking the flipper. My only concern is that a bit of relief chamfer, in the scales, adjacent to the thumbstubs, would be nice (similar to the Altus....not the choil, simply a chamfer). Or, slightly longer thumbstuds. If you can get An Altus in your hands (while no one is looking😉), you'll see what I mean. You now have me as a QSP fan!! Bryan from Nova Scotia Edit: It seems that the access to the thumb stud is just fine. The spring for the button lock was very strong, and now that it has broken in, the function is perfect!!
I will be able to when it comes back in as we currently don't have the penguin button lock. The Swordfish is a larger knife. Thanks for the suggestion.
Is there any update about the regular size button lock?Loved the flipper tab option but that was available only on the Penguin Plus till now.Will be there a chance to get the button lock with S35VN blade?
I think I’ll get the slip joint one first.. the og Penguin still the sharpest knife I’ve received from factory. Hair splitting and kept that edge for like a year lol. $35 very well spent.
They are finishing up so should be available soon, check in with your local dealer, and we will have the direct opiton soon but PayPal is being difficult currently.
Hello, David. Was the Ti 154CM model's hardware updated at some point? It appears that while my QS130-Q has a D-shaped pivot and round standoffs (and corresponding holes in the handles), some hardware like Kaviso's has a round pivot and D-shaped standoffs. Thank you!
It's a matter of preference as the Walk and Talk is what is our newest slip joint standards. We offer a premium Penguin Slip joint and there are some dealer exclusive models.
@@qspknife I was looking at the jigged ti hedgehog in m390 at traditional pocket knives. Any that I get I prefer Titanium or carbon fiber with premium steel like m390 20cv or s90v
Absolutely need a button lock penguin in my life!
Will be coming, production will be started soon.

Agree it has been a very good holo knife for the brand.
As I live in the UK I can’t wait for the slipjoint to be released. So excited about that.
Also kinda want the button lock as well 🤣
Nice they are ready to go so reach out to your local dealer.
QSP does slipjoints pretty amazing.. feels like something that costs $200+

Great thanks and glad the knives are doing well for you. The button lock variant might be a good option when it comes out.

Thanks and sorry for the late reply
I pre-ordered the button lock penguin. Thanks for listening to the customers.
Yeah the support is appreciated, maybe the Canary or Vault will find the same type of enthusiasm.
I'm totally waiting for the button lock variant to come out. I hope they come out in a good color variety. 😊
Pre-order is available on the qspknife.com site
Can you advise when Canadian dealers will have the button lock Penguin?
Thanks 🙂
Bryan from Nova Scotia
Sorry for the long delay, Blades Canada has them in stock now.
need get this channel out there sir
Appreciate the interaction.
@@qspknife that how we got get you out there more I'm trying sir
Can you do a comparison of the Penguin Button Lock and the Swordfish?
I will be able to when it comes back in as we currently don't have the penguin button lock. The Swordfish is a larger knife. Thanks for the suggestion.

They are in production. A premium variant is possible, will see how the model does when it is released.
Love the Penguin, great deal on a knife as well. Do you guys have the same handle setup with a drop point blade?
Not currently as the liner lock Parrot would be more of that style but it doesn't have a button lock.
Not too shabby
Thanks for the comment.

Glad it is doing well, the slip joint action is nice.
Will the button have as many handle options as the currently ones?
It will build up to a wide variety depending on the demand for the product.
Just give a liner lock but gotta get that button lock are they available now?
Button lock is still in production for the Penguin. The Grebe and Swordfish are available now.
Dude im on a slipjoint kick rn. I so want that SJ right now bro.
Also the button lock boutta be a hit. Calling it now.
It's available now and preorder for the button lock on the site
Mini Penguin, Black Blade and Black Micarta... MAKE IT ALREADY!!
Thanks for the input could Frankenstein that set up.
Why no lefty clip on ti models? Thx
It was a design choice, the Plus has a left hand carry, but can look at that for future models.
when will the slip joint version be availible ? (UK)
They are finishing up so should be available soon, check in with your local dealer, and we will have the direct opiton soon but PayPal is being difficult currently.
When will the button lock be released? Thanks, Bryan from Nova Scotia
We are looking at November currently.
When is the button lock is coming out???
Will be in the wave after the one coming out on the 10th. The Grebe is an option for the size.
Gotta get 1
Thanks for the comment and hope you enjoy it when it comes in.

Thank you!
I believe we are still using the round stand offs for the Ti Penguin. The Kaviso one has titanium hardware which is a bit different.
@@qspknife, thank you for your reply. Do you know whether QSP's non-collab knives still use the traditional D-shaped pivot?
Would love a mini penguin button lock please
Thanks for the input.
Is Mini with button lock possibly in the works? Would loove that.
Thanks for the input it is always a possibility.
Please just do it
Which is better the hedgehog or penguin slip ??

@@qspknife I like the blade shape of the penguin better buy the more traditional style of the hedgehog!!!
🐧 Slip joint!
In the works.
Decent knives, but terrible pocket profile when closed.
Thanks for the input the Otter or Parrot might be a good option.
The parrot is better. Why doesn't the parrot get this much attention
Yeah it's one that is a great model, just updated to bearings on the new runs.
