New Knife - QSP Osprey

That I am quite a fan of the QSP brand may have become apparent by now? Otherwise, it can be certified that this is the case. So you are not mistaken. 

They have a wide range and present good quality at prices that are not hair-raising. In addition, they have recently expanded the catalog to also include a couple of luxury models. In the main, they make extremely practical and useful EDC knives in various variants. However, lately, they have released a monstrous knife called the Rhino, which, alongside some old models, has to stand for the extravagant.

But this knife is found on the other side of the spectrum. Here you have a solid, simple, well-constructed EDC knife. Nothing extreme but most of what you get here seems very well done. It just flew under my radar for some reason. 

QSP Osprey

As you have already seen, the model is called "Osprey", which is "fiskgjuse" in Swedish. A bird of prey that is quite rare over here but not where I grew up near a lake in Småland. There were several nesting pairs so I actually saw them almost daily.

The knife is almost as elegantly built as its namesake. It is a knife that in this case has been given a plumage in blue Micarta. If you don't like blue, there are also brown and green to choose from. In addition to that, no less than eight more variants including handles in brass, copper, and carbon fiber in a couple of color combinations.

The blade steel is 14C28N and the blade length is just over eight centimeters with a thickness of three millimeters. Very reasonable blade, if you can put it like that. Especially as it is a drop point. Nothing extra vagrant, in other words, but well-functioning. Especially as the factory edge was decent. 

Think of this knife as a QSP Penguin with a flipper opening instead of thumb studs and a drop-point blade. It can be added that the blade runs on ball bearings, the lock is a liner lock, and the knife has a wire clip.

The knife will of course be reviewed later on!
