lol yes the version with cheaper to produce scales is cheaper. Thanks much.

Brass is more weighty and will develop a unique patina. Micarta wil be lighter, more grippy while wet and also patinas a little due to hand oils. It's ALL user preference.

I didn't say anything about it being special, by any means. The penguin is a great entry level knife. My preference is the titanium handled version. I own knives ranging in value from $10-$1000. I enjoy the customization process most of all. So what makes these cheap decent quality knives great is that if you mess up at all you're not going to be out a ton of money.

For the brass and copper knives I like to "shipwreck" them which is a forced patina which brings out blue and green colors. I have a small tutorial on it in one of my posts on Reddit under the user u/ARGuck.

Brass is SO heavy in comparison, FYI. For the weight, you could just be carrying a much bigger knife. IMO

I have an older knife that has brass handles. It is a "hand me down"' heirloom piece from my grandfather when knives had bone, horn, wood, and brass handles. The brass will turn green in areas and the patina's appeal is subjective so your point is fair, but this being D2 steel and handle materials available now, I wouldn't exactly consider this knife special or even a deal by any stretch.

Props to the OP for sharing an all brass knife option. I Just wanted to mention that Kizer came out with an all Brass Sheepdog version this year early (2024) with 3V steel and it's absolutely amazing. It's a little pricier at $130 but it has better steel, has a button lock which you never see with these sheepfoot style knives (fidget friendly) and the scales are all amazingly rounded and not as boxy as this penguin. If your looking for a new brass knife and this penguin doesn't fit the bill, check it out.

It's metal and one that does not corrode. Humans have always had a special connection with metals of any sort. No big mystery.

I checked out the shipwrecked style. I didn't realize that was the term for when they patina'd brass and all sorts of stuff popped up. Thanks!

I have 3 of them. Brass, Micarta and TI. Yes brass is obviously heavier but it's also awesome. I love the brass one. I have a lot of knives and I love this one. I don't carry any one of them regularly lol. I carry a Spyderco lightweight usually.

It is that human/metal spiritual bond I talked about. Humans just intrinsically/instinctually know that a chunk of metal is a thing of beauty and wonder.

I've been collecting pocket knives on and off for 20 plus years, now. I've had one of these QSP Penguins with the denim micarta handle scales for about 3 or 4 years now, and it's become one of my favorite bargain/bang for your buck knives. The build quality definitely punches above its weight for the price, and it's a useful size without being too big or heavy in the pocket. Additionally, the blade shape tends to come across as less threatening to non knife people.

If you're looking for a good entry-level knife that isn't cheap junk, this one is a good place to start. If you've already got nicer and are interested in a quality EDC knife that won't bother you too much if it gets lost or broken, this one fits that bill nicely, too.

My 16 year old son's favorite animal is the penguin. Since he is older and no longer wants his plush stuffed penguins, I figured that the denim micarta scaled Penguin knife would be a nice departure from "childhood things" to a more mature hobby/item.

Regardless, he liked the knife, but I was really impressed with the quality and how smoothly it opened. So I got a Ti version for myself, as well as the carbon fiber scaled version.

These knives feel much more expensive than the $35 - $60 price. I have CRKs, Spydercos, and Benchmade knives so I have been exposed to "quality" knives, and this one doesn't feel far off of knives costing much, much more.

I didn't think I'd like the blade style, but it has grown on me.
