There was little to hesitate about, I must admit. The decision to also acquire the folding version of the QSP Canary Neck knife. That's because I really like the original model.
In this case, we are talking about a fairly simple but straightforward pocket knife. No direct embellishments but at the same time appealing in its simplicity, at least in my eyes.
QSP also seems to believe in this knife as they are releasing a plethora of versions right from the start. It is the handle material and color that have been varied.

| QSP Canary Folder |
This particular model has "Ultem" handle sides. It is A material that seems quite trendy at the moment as it has appeared simultaneously with several manufacturers. For me it is new so I had to try it. In this version, it actually feels like a fairly grippy G10. Good traction in other words.
As is often the case with knives from QSP's less exclusive series, the steel is a Swedish Sandvik 14C28N. A very competent steel for the price range, moreover, with documented well-balanced properties. Especially as this is stated to be in the range of 59-61 HRC, which if true is very good.
A first impression is that Canary Folder feels more exclusive than it is. Not so much for the materials or even design choices but for how well-built it is. It also comes with ceramic ball bearings. The result is a lightning-fast knife whose blade drops in by itself when the lock bar releases its grip.
Otherwise, this is a very thin knife, making it light. It weighs around 70 grams. The folded length is 95 mm and the entire knife measures 167 mm when unfolded. Easy to carry, in other words.
However, the main argument for me to get a QSP Canary Folder was that it reminds me of another small knife I like a lot. But I'll leave that comparison there for the moment.
However, it can be said that the first impressions match expectations well. This is a great knife, I can tell right away!
