Although QSP (which stands for Quality, Service, Price) didn’t launch their own brand until 2017, they’ve been a knife manufacturer for more than a dozen years. All that experience shows once you get one in hand. The QSP Pangolin is an affordable knife with a fantastic, easy action and a solid feel in hand. You can get one for about $35.
The Pangolin is a manual flipper with a 3.75” D2 drop point blade that rides on a ball bearing pivot. It’s available with either a satin finish or with a black coating. The flipper is positioned for an effortless flip, and it opens with a seriously solid thwack. 
There’s jimping along the thumb ramp for additional control and a steep swedge along the spine.
This linerlock has an open construction which makes it a breeze to clean. The contoured black or OD green G-10 handle scales have finger grooves for an outstanding, slip resistant grip. All the edges on the handle are slightly recessed for a super comfortable feel in your hand. This is a full-sized EDC with a closed length of 4.75” which makes it perfect even for those with a larger grip. It has a tip-up pocket clip and weighs about 5.3 ounces.
