QSP Penguin Slip Joint Folding Knife Reviews

4.8 Rating 19 Reviews

The QSP Penguin has been one of the most popular folders of recent times. It is a powerfully built knife with a wide, sheepsfoot blade capable of a wide variety of tasks. In previous incarnations the blade locks into place but this new model has a non-locking slip joint mechanism. This means that as the blade is under three inches long and not locking it is OK to carry within the UK. Due to its exceptional manufacturing and very sturdy back spine the blade snaps into the open and closed position with reassuring crispness! Plus there is a half stop which will help to prevent accidental closure.
The handle is made from G10 with attractive red liner on the black option and black liner on the white version. There is also a choice of blue or OD green G10. Accessorise your one with a lanyard and add a detachable thumb stud if you wish to enable one handed opening.
Now you can carry your favourite knife for all your daily chores!

“First knife bought on returning to knife collecting. Lovely blade shape and the knife is great quality. Great walk and talk, and strong action on opening and closing. Lovely and sharp too, and the green scales are nice and grippy.”

“I wasn't expecting much for the price, however, Qsp have done it again. Uk legal penguin, with finger choil….safe as houses! Love it! I just hope HH gets hold of the 20CV version… I'd get that too!”

“Let's face it, the penguin has quickly become a surprise classic. I've had one of the original frame locks for a while and love it, just can't carry it. And at last they've brought out a slip joint version. Fit and finish is way above the price point, and ergonomics are better than the original. The long pull/ fuller is a far more aesthetically pleasing and functionally superior choice than the nail nick. 14c28n makes a nice change from the swathes of D2 you see at the moment, and I like this steel for edc. Walk and talk is superb, enough retention to be reassuring but not problematic. A crisp half stop and close. The knife reminds me of the ADV pocket butcher, but way cheaper. My only complaint is the lack of a pocket clip, but given the number of iterations the penguin has seen it's quite possible that QSP will be bringing this out in the future, and I'll get one of them too.”

“Just bought one of these for my daughter's other half for Chrimbo. I had to have a look and a play with it before gifting it away and I was gob smacked!! £50 for a legal folder of superb fit and finish is a total bargain. So much so I want one now ;-) Super service as always by HH you guys are the best at what you do and the products you sell. Hope you all have a superb Yuletide and brilliant New Year”

“I'll keep this review brief, suffice to say that the build quality of the knife itself is very good, the example I had I returned as the blade edge was rather dull. Shame, this could have been a keeper.”

“I was hoping for a UK legal penguin ever since been carrying the normal one from launch, this has not disapointed at all and with the half half choil feels really safe in hand. thank you HH for getting this little gem”

“Another great UK friendly carry from QSP with an "out of the box" very sharp blade. Good fit and form, build quality is to a high standard, It's also at a good price. This is my second QSP as I previously purchased the Hedgehog Denim Micarta and again I'm happy with my choice. HH delivery and service is as ever great.”
