Same Penguin outline, different recipe: a 3.06" sheepsfoot in 14C28N with QSP's crossbar-style Glyde lock and an FRN handle. That combination drops the weight to 2.93 oz and lists at $56. FRN feels less substantial in hand than Micarta.

Why a sheepsfoot

A straight edge with the spine curving down to meet it, ending in effectively no point. It cannot stab, which is the point: it is the shape for cutting toward yourself, cutting on a surface, or cutting a seatbelt off someone without stabbing them.

1-5 is a relative ranking drawn from published composition and hardness, not a lab measurement. Higher is better on every axis, and no steel is a 5 across the board — edge retention and toughness pull against each other. All Sandvik 14C28N knives
