The QSP Lark stands out right out of the box. The shredded carbon fiber overlay with that blue and black mix is captivating, catching the light in a way that’s subtle but eye-catching. Unlike flashier carbon fiber, the Lark’s handle material has a satin feel to it that’s more refined than flamboyant. It’s backed with G10 to keep costs down without sacrificing structure, and the result is impressive, with QSP living up to its name once again: Quality, Selection, and Price.
QSP has made a few fixed blades over the years, with the Canary being a recent popular addition. The company turned this fixed blade into a folder with slightly different dimensions, nine color combinations, and a price tag under $50. This knife is sure to fit your style and wallet.
The sheer number of knife companies and blades available is insane, and makes shopping even harder. There are some companies that have been under our nose the whole time, and we simply overlooked them. One knife brand that I never thought to give a try was QSP Knives. I've always been a Buck, Kershaw, Gerber, etc kind of guy. Always stuck to the mainstream and didn't dabble too much, mainly because of the unknown.
QSP Knives has been around for more than a decade and have been an OEM for other companies. It wasn't until 2017 that the company started producing knives under its own name. The company's name is an acronym for what they stand for, Quality, Service, and Price. I love a company who's pride and dedication is part of their name.
