Its a nice knife imo the qsp is way better than a lot of kershaws. FRANKIE'S been drinking hateraid lol.

I'm usually #TeamFrankie on these, but DEFINITELY #TeamBird here. It's a great knife. Probably gonna make my top ten budget of 2018.

Slicey Dicey I agree #TeamBird Idk what Frankie was so miffed about with this knife 😂 Still love you guys though lol

@BirdShotIV 5 лет назад

It would be fine for $10, but not $22 I would take a Kershaw any day over this. At least they have style and personality-Frankie

@TheGamerGuy1981 4 года назад

@@BirdShotIV Personality and cheap CR813MOV Steel at those prices, Kershaw budget knives tend to use twinkie steel. I'll take 440C over 8CR13MOV any day of the week. Not to mention the God awful speed assist on the Kershaws mostly with a few notable exceptions. Personality doesn't make a good tool. I don't dislike Kershaw by the way, but most of their budget options are just... Meh. Cheapest knife they make I like is the Blur, which even that I feel is a bit overpriced for what it is.

@Stassa23 5 лет назад

The Parrot and the Tangram Santa Fe have been my shop knives since they came out the Santa Fe holds a better working edge I’ve noticed but at there price point I love both of them cause I use and abuse them never clean them and they have cut just about everything you can think of when it comes to knife mods and a little knife making from sand paper to deburring g10 and scraping glue residue off of steel I will say i prefer the Santa Fe as far as aesthetics. Well I hope y’all are having a great night talk to you later

@mt_baldwin 5 лет назад

A rare time I agree with bird over Frankie, the "Quality Service Products" parrot is better than the honey badger or budget kershaw, a third less the cost with better materials and equal or superior design and fit and finish. I've had four budget kershaws recently and each one fell apart after a few weeks of flipping them (not from cutting), including the atmos and fraxion.

@BirdShotIV 5 лет назад

That sucks about the Kershaws :(

@KosherCookery Год назад

I picked up a D2 version for $25 off amazon. It was the knife that finally kicked the SW Intrigue out of my pocket and I haven't looked back. Pimped it out with a civivi deep carry clip and some benchmade thumbstuds, filed down some rough edges, and to me it's damn near perfect.

@gustafson74may 5 лет назад

@Pitchenwithagun 4 года назад

I got a QSP Parrot a couple months back. Great blade to take to work (I work in logistics, quite a Dusty environment). The bronze washers work great, it's not a scary looking knife and the 440C seems to hold up pretty okay. Yes, it's a boring knife, but you get a really snappy detente, G10 scales en bronze washers on this. Bought it for 20 euro's, haven't looked back. Bought a QSP Fenix a bit later, liked that one as well. Keep up the good banter video's! :P

@bigd2829 2 года назад

I think it’s because she has such small hands it’s not comfortable for her and yeah the blade shape isn’t the coolest but it does the job. Everyone is different. I think it’s amazing value for the money and a great addition to my rotation! Good vid!

@tghartman321 3 года назад

A couple of years late to the party, I know, but I ordered the parrot a few days ago. I don't get the hate here. I bought it specifically for the way it looks. Most of the knives I own have a more aggressive looking profile, and while I'm allowed to carry any folder with a blade under 4" at work, I've definitely gotten some strange looks from customers and co workers both. The clean, simple, yet elegant lines on this knife coupled with the non threatening baby blue scales on the one I picked should help cut down on the "Oh my God, he's got a knife!!!" factor.

@88chevyiroc 5 лет назад

Frankie is spot on, on these. Great job to you both.

@BirdShotIV 5 лет назад

thank you 88chevyiroc

@kenkelley6579 5 лет назад

Sorry Frankie, you are just wrong, it's a solid knife which flicks open well and closes so smoothly, no lock stick I think you are just trying to corner the market in them so you can hoard them for the future and sell for a premium. It is definitely a Sanrenmu. And blows away your other choices.

@BirdShotIV 5 лет назад

haha thanks Ken

@carlb2727 5 лет назад

I have a few 440C knives including the Ganzo on the table. I have issues getting an edge I like on them. When i get done to the fine grit and the ceramic i have no end of trouble trying to get the burr to come off. I end up spending 30 minutes on the ceramic and strop to get a clean edge. I do not have this issue with nCr13MoV or D2.

@BirdShotIV 5 лет назад

Interesting. It's been over two years since I've sharpened the Ganzo 440c

@carlb2727 5 лет назад

Once you get them there they seem to maintain very well with the strop.

That's quite a jump and uses junk 8CR13MOV Steel. Can't say I agree there, 440C > 8CR13MOV on any day. At the $30 range a rat in D2 is a vastly superior option.
