The latest knives I have presented from QSP have been characterised as being medium to large and thoroughly practical. I am thinking of the recently reviewed Turtle Punk, but especially the Ripley. Now it gets a little more fun!
This thing is definitely bigger than you might first think. But it is certainly not boring. Let me introduce a fairly new knife called Beetle!

| QSP Beetle |
So far, it is available in five variants. One looks "normal", one is blacker than the night, and three are very colourful. Sometimes a little colour is needed in life, so I chose the striking combination of black and red.
In addition to the colour scale, the knife is recognisable by its slightly chubby silhouette and, of course, by the fact that it is a folding dagger. Certainly not double-edged in the original, but since the entire blade is hidden in the handle when the knife is closed, it is possible to sharpen the other side as well if desired.
About the knife, it can also be said that it is built around a colourful but lightened steel frame with sides of G10. It is a liner lock, and the blade is opened with a flipper. To facilitate this, the blade rides on ceramic bearings.

| Beetle - a knife that is anything but boring |
The blade that emerges is a rather bulging spear point, but if you cover the upper half of the blade, what remains is quite practical. The length of the blade is 75 mm, which is matched by a width of just over 28 mm at most. The thickness is 3 mm, and the steel is 14C28N. A material QSP uses to an increasing extent in its mid-range knives, I have noticed.
The entire knife measures 180 mm when opened and 105 mm when closed. The weight is around 117 g.
Overall, a fun little folding dagger that is anything but boring! It is actually nice to hold as well. I will come back to you with more detailed thoughts about the other properties in the future.
