The thing is that a Parrot or Penguin can be had in D2 blade steel for <$30-$32 [atlanticknife.com], one of the better deals for a quality knife, IMHO. The Penguin in this deal is an upgrade in steel being made out of 154CM stainless, but you have to decide if it's worth twice the price.
D2
EDGE RETENTION: 8 CORROSION RESISTANCE: 2 EASE OF SHARPENING: 3 (ratings out of 10)
D2 is a semi-stainless tool steel that has great hardness for good edge retention, but not a very corrosion resistant steel. That means you can't go slicing lemons with it without cleaning the blade and applying a bit of oil. D2 is one of my favorite higher-end/semi-budget blade steel and I have lots of knives made from it. It's a very popular blade steel and a lot of manufacturers use it. You will need a decent sharpener to sharpen D2, but it holds and edge a very long time and gets wicked sharp.
154CM
EDGE RETENTION: 6 CORROSION RESISTANCE: 6 EASE OF SHARPENING: 5 (ratings out of 10)
A relatively hard steel which is considered an upgraded version of 440C through the addition of Molybdenum. This achieves superior edge holding compared to 440C while retaining similar excellent levels of corrosion resistance despite having less Chromium. It has decent toughness good enough for most uses and holds an edge well. Not too difficult to sharpen with the right equipment. You'll find a lot of quality pocket knives from top manufacturers like Benchmade using 154CM steel.

I too have a qsp parrot in my EDC rotation. Hands down one of my favorite user knives. I mainly use it to open packages (for other knives 😂)
