I have a Ti Penguin with a 154CM blade and the OG pivot design. It was 100 bucks and worth every penny. One of my favorite less expensive knives. Right up there with my Ferrum Forge Stinger and my TOPS MSF. Super smooth and consistent action and perfect lock up and disengagement. Nice to see a more budget friendly upload every once in a while. We all love the super Gucci Reate OEM stuff and mid techs and full customs but, sometimes you just need a good less expensive option when you really plan on using the crap out of your knife.

love the positive vibes on this channel, the penguin (qsp in general) is great!👍👍👍

I think they did a great job with this line up! I really enjoyed the denim micarta version. I love that you do these types of videos as well. I may wanna snag one of these.

Thank you for showing this company I had no idea about them great deal for the materials used

Jim, I've been added to many of makers books thanks to you. Thank you for bringing us your professional expertise, time and honest opinions. Thanks for bringing us a budget option. I wish they gave you a check out code. I tried Skelton lol. It doesn't work. But thanks again. God bless Jim. Thank you for all the time you give us.

I own the penguin currently and love that little budget knife. I have always wanted a mokuti knife but I'm a guy who usually buys $300 to $350 range knives but once I saw this video and saw the ridiculously low price of the mokuti penguin, I had to jump on it! I finally have a Mokuti knife in my collection! Thank you so much for your videos, and as always, your honesty.

The ti one I like a lot. Big fan of these

I got the Black Jigged Titanium Penguin from Traditional Pocket Knives. I'm loving it and gets tons of compliments.

After gifting a couple of the D2/ denim micarta versions and being impressed with the overall quality and F+F for under 30 bucks i snagged one of the frag Ti framelocks with 154cm blade steel on bearings with the milled Ti clip and once again i was impressed! The action is great along with the machine work and its a nice lightweight package overall. Love the wharnie only small gripe i wish the geometry was ground thinner behind the edge but i say that about almost every production folder 😂. I find myself reaching for the penguin over much more expensive blades in my collection sometimes and find it to be a keeper. Nice to see some budget videos on your channel and i was also unaware you were putting out content still. Many videos to catch up on with your channel!

Love the wardrobe😄

Great review as always sir. Your point about notifications, I get about 1 in 3-4. The struggle is real.

I just got one in today. You’re exactly right the mokuti is a beautiful. Amazing knives for the price.

I got the jade G10 black stone wash Penguin. It is awesome. Came super sharp. Bronze washers and still super good action. That Titanium with purple hardware is so sweet. Done deal.

YT axed my first comment, but I was saying I was amazed that I can now say I can afford something out of a Jim Skelton video, and I appreciate you bringing this to light. The blade shape always interested me but I wasn't moved enough on d2 or 154cm to pick one up. Turns out there are some INSANE versions of this knife for WAY less than I thought, so I pulled the trigger right away. Cheers for making my night, Jim.

Whenever I watch one of your vids...I want to immediately purchase whatever knife you are talking about. You are as authentic as they get! Cool to see you showing some lower priced items on this round.

Just got mine. This thing is surprisingly smooth. I went for the grey with purple accents and timascus clip. Now I'm debating going back for more.

Just wait for more 2022 stuff to arrive. QSP is totally killing it. Their SHOT show booth was banging. Penguin coming in mini, XL, and flipper versions. The Mamba V2. The new foil/carbon fiber “Damascus” scales they’re putting out are beautiful and unique. They had it on a Damascus blade Penguin and a Hawk. Insane. The brand is going places and picking up speed. Civivi has their hands full with competition now, and it kinda looks like they’re just focused on beating the button lock trend to death and that’s kind of it.. well.. along with trying to low key slowly jack their prices up.

Thank you Jim! Ordered one with Mokuti 4 my wife :-)

Thank you! Many reviewers will do a 20+ minute review and never once talk about reverse detent or show the free drop action. Just sit there and fingerbang it over and over. Those are two huge aspects for me and largely determine what I purchase. I have enough good utility user knives, I mostly just buy fun stuff to look at and play with so I want an easy and early reverse detent and drop shutty action. Basically I just want much cheaper Shiros. 😁👍

I love the Qsp penguin on of the best bang for the buck you can I'm buying the timascus one ASAP.

Have been using the budget Penguin for work for over a year . Micata, and D2 steel . Yes very budget. Use it every day not hard use but 5 + times a day . I'm a tradesman so lots of different uses. This knife is my go to for work . Will definitely be looking to upgrade. But will probably still carry the original version for work .

Amazing price for what get worth every penny just ordered mine

I have the d2 cf handle, my first knife and I love it, got also the hawk copper foil it's good but the flipper tab is bad you almost fail it everytime you open it, I missed this one 😔 😢 unfortunately, but thank you for sharing, still figuring out what I like and what not, also learning about quality parameters, also thank you for your high quality, professional pictures you take, ☺

I ordered one and it was out for delivery within 24hrs. Turns out I'm under 20 miles away from Kaviso and I'd never heard about them.

Just picked up the M390 version last week. I have had the S35VN version for a year. I figured that if QSP could do a good heat-treat on S35VN then they probably will do well with M390

I have the frag pattern titanium in 154CM and it's honestly a great little knife that's quite pleasant to handle and use. The thinness with the much more solid sounding/ feeling lockup of the titanium frame lock is great.

I agree, something about Ti and Purple just hits. 🤟🤪✌️✌️

Ordered the silver Ti variant. I might just Frankenstein it with frag pattern scales. Unsure whether I'd keep the blue frag and ditch the purple hardware, or de-anodize the frag scales and keep using the purple hardware. A s35vn blade, grey frag scales, MokuTi clip and purple hardware sounds VERY tempting.

I agree knives with deep Carry clips are a pain to get out of your pocket

I ordered two knives this morning and they have already shipped. Will arrive by Wednesday without paying extra!

I missed out on the mokuti scaled version I hope they make another run of them.

#100 timascus checking in, thanks for the heads up and by the way they only made 100 of the timascus version so should be fairly rare until more are made

Awesome video! Not sure whether to thank or curse you. I now own the purple Kaviso w/mokuti clip, carbon fiber Kaviso, black frag 154cm, and the C.Risner cutlery (TPK traditional pocket knives) jigged titanium m390 versions. Lol I didn't even own a single Qsp knife before watching your video. P.S. Were you aware of the jigged titanium version? Its still available for $125.

I'm liking what I see, but wish there was a four inch King Penguin. ✌ 😃

Got a Timascus version. What a deal. Very surprised knowing the parts and materials. Ordered yesterday at 10ish will be here tomorrow

I'm always looking for a deal and this was too good to pass up. Bought a titanium with the Mokuti clip and the carbon fiber. I would of got the timascus but I just wouldn't want to scratch it.

I just got the full timascus mini penguin for $179 friggin incredible rain drop timascus.

any word on when their coming out with a restock ?

I thought that the higher end penquins used M390 or 20cv? Maybe that was just the white mountain knives exclusives or someone else's exclusive. I do like that timascus, I wonder if they are going to make it a very limited run of the timascus version? I sure hope they make enough so anyone who wants one can purchase one.

I want the Timascus. It does not seem to be available, and I bet if I see one on the secondary market, it’ll be $350 if it’s a penny!

Hey, Jim. Did any of them have detent lash or even a little play in the closed position? Thanks for sharing!

on the comment of deep carry clips, a lot of my pants have high pockets, and when knives dont carry deep they dig into me while sitting. Deep carry isnt so much because "sEcRet AgEnt" its for comfort

I like deep carry clips because it provides more protection to the actual knife. I’d rather scratch the clip then my knife yk.

Hey Jim, on White Mountain's website all the Penguins are 154CM. Do you know what's up with that?

I have one of each variation. S35vn, 154cm, & m390, no d2

Zircuti is zirconium and titanium and mokuti is supposed to be mokume and titanium

Where can you find the purple one? I have one that I bought from someone but don’t have a clue where he got it I lost the chat.

The knives look like a phenomenal deal. The knives seem almost to good to be true. Been burned on some cheap knives in the past so looking at this with a grain of salt.

The knives are cool but where can I buy that shirt?

Why no flipper?! Either way, that’s a cool daily. Not on that Kavis site yet but soon as it is, I’m getting one in timascus.

Too bad about the frame lock… I like the liner lock better!

Where to get them??!! ❤❤

Wow am I first

China is really beating up USA recently with their price and quality of knives

Jim are you bi curios buddy liking that pink. Well if that's the case call me bi curious as well because God help me I like it too. LMFAO!!!

I need steroids right away. I must be low on testosterone. Lol.

They seem like good deals but I cant at this time buy anything from China or made in China.. I purposely set out to buy American-made these days..

Check out Neeves knives on youtube, he is a nice chap who loves knives and knows his stuff with steels and sharpening.
