QSP
QSP is a Chinese knife and cutlery manufacturer that's been around since the early 2000s. They started as an Original Equipment & Design Manufacturer (OEM/ODM), but in 2017, they decided to branch out as an independent brand. QSP stands for Quality, Service, and Price - and these values couldn't be more spot-on. They achieve high quality through their wealth of experience, state-of-the-art machinery, and rigorous quality control. Plus, their competitive prices are due to lower cost performance compared to the US, not inferior quality.
At GRITR Outdoors, we've got a fantastic selection of QSP knife models perfect for any task. Outdoor enthusiasts especially love pocket knives with folding blades, as they make the ideal everyday carry, versatile camping gear, and compact hunting knife.
The QSP Penguin pocket knife is a fan favorite. The Penguin Mini features a 2.25-inch blade, 3.0mm thickness, and a total length of 5.50 inches. Its 14C28N steel blade has a hardness index of 59-61, meaning it stays sharp longer and achieves a finer edge, but can be a bit tricky to sharpen. The Penguin Plus is a larger option with a 20CV steel blade, offering exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance, though sharpening can be challenging. To make life easier, consider taking your knife to a professional sharpener or investing in top-notch sharpening tools. Both knife designs come with a ceramic ball bearing. And if you're looking for a happy medium, check out the QSP Penguin Frame Lock with an S35VN blade and a Titanium or Brass handle.
If a super-compact folding knife is more your style, the QSP Hamster series has you covered with its 2-inch blade. Or you may consider the QSP Canary neck knife. For those who prefer larger knives, there's the QSP Osprey folding style, the QSP Parrot with a copper washer (resistant to low temperatures, oxidation, and wear), and the QSP Bison fixed-blade knives. The latter is crafted from D2 stainless steel, boasting excellent edge retention quality.
