EIGHT MONTHS IN THE MAKING
The collaborations between Kaviso and QSP Penguins have earned quite a reputation.

SOME POP IN YOUR POCKET
In the whimsical words of Dr. Seuss, theres a wocket in my pocket! Alas, no wockets here, but behold the vivid and lively FatCarbon scales adorning these penguins as a delightful substitute.
Choose between the radiant hues of Mars Valley in orange and red, harmonized by the allure of cyan accents. Alternatively, embrace the victorious, poll winning, Toxic Storm, featuring carbon fiber with a greenish-yellow charm and titanium dressed in a lively green—an ideal companion for the impending flu season!
Concluding the third act is the dashing Arctic Storm, crafted by meticulously vertically slicing a solid block of carbon fiber—an infrequently employed technique due to its demanding precision. These frosty handles are elegantly accompanied by accents of icy blue titanium.

I already had 2 QSP Penguins... both Micarta and D2... the titanium and S35VN upgrade just made this my favorite carry... and it is under $100!?!?! might get the Mini and Plus as well. Can't wait to see other collabs Kaviso does!

This QSP Penguin is really something else. Very cool looking and every bit has been upgraded from the original. The action is flawless and buttery smooth and the blade is very sharp. 10/10

What a beautiful fantastic knife. The scales with the dark glow fat carbon are gorgeous paired with Elmax? An absolute gem of a knife. I got it on sale for $109 too which makes it even better. I highly recommend this!
