- QSP Penguin V2 · Sheepsfoot3.06″ blade · 0.12″ spine · 3.28 oz · ~0.8″ tall (derived)
QSP Penguin V2
QSP's replacement for the original Penguin keeps the same 3.06" D2 sheepsfoot, 7.06" overall length and liner lock, and adds ceramic bearings to the pivot. The denim Micarta handle brings it to 3.28 oz at a $45 list price. A sheepsfoot has no real tip for piercing, and D2 will spot with rust if it is put away wet.

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.
Every sheepsfoot here →About D2
Semi-stainless: enough chromium to resist spotting, not enough to be stainless. Big carbides mean long edge life and a coarse, toothy edge.
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 D2 knives
