QSP Penguin Glyde Lock Copper Folding Knife [QS130GL-F1]

The Penguin profile with an external Glyde Lock release

The Penguin Glyde Lock keeps the family’s recognizable utility blade while changing the operating interface. The external control near the pivot releases the blade without asking the user to move an internal liner aside.

The lowered point and relatively straight edge retain the Penguin’s practical cutting character. Handle materials and blade finishes vary across the Glyde range, so compare this configuration with a conventional liner-lock Penguin rather than assuming the lock difference is cosmetic.

Steel and maintenance

14C28N is a stainless knife steel developed around edge stability, corrosion resistance and straightforward resharpening. It is a practical choice for a knife that sees regular cutting and routine touch-ups.

Handle construction

G10 combines fiberglass with resin. The composite provides a stable scale structure, while the actual machining and surface texture determine the grip’s feel.
