Is QSP Penguin Better than CIVIVI Elementum?
Is QSP Penguin Better than CIVIVI Elementum?
It’s a great budget knife etc.
and I personally have hopped on the hype train as well and have been using this
for a couple of weeks. But you guys know that I have been using QSP Penguin and
it’s highly recommended in my opinion this is the best budget knife you could
get for under thirty dollars
Honestly I saw a lot of people
recommending the CIVIVI
Elementum and not as many people recommending the QSP penguin I mean
yes there are people who talked about it however that's not as much as how much
coverage the Elementum gets because of CIVIVI Knives
and so because I have both of these on hand I decided yeah maybe let's make a kind
of comparison Review and share with you my thoughts.
This is not a review article but
if you want to read Civivi
Elementum Review then you will find the mentioned article quite
helpful.
Now, I won't be talking about the
Elementum or the penguin because there's more than enough reviews about the
Elementum so you guys know all the pros and cons and everything. So, this
article is going to be focusing on “is QSP penguin is better than Civivi Elementum?”
Do read my opinion at the end of it. Be prepared to read and go through the end
of this comparison.
Blade Shape: Civivi Elementum VS QSP Penguin
I should talk about first or the
most important thing is the blade shape I mean one glance and you can tell
there's a huge difference the penguin features a sheep's foot blade but the
Elementum features a drop point blade. If you look closely at it you could see the
QSP logo and on the back is the steel marking D2 right there and on the Civivi
Elementum there is no branding on the show side of the blade.
On the other side which is the
lock side there's no marking as well except for on the flipper tab you can see
a small little D2 Steel marking here. This is really small and really subtle it
looks like it's really lightly edged in and it is visible when the blade is
both in the closed and deployed position.
Other details about the blade is
that both of them feature jimping up top that is comfortable. When you have
your finger up here or when you hold it in the hammer position and it's resting
on your thumb see for both it's really comfortable up. There it's in a sweet
spot the Elementum features a finger choil now this is kind of like a forward
finger choil. I could have my index finger right there but it's more like a
flat surface area for you to rest your finger against not so much into the
choil itself.
Choil and Jimping
At least, it's still there its
present there unlike the penguin which is just a sharpening choil and it
wouldn't be a good idea for you to rest your finger up here both of the blades
have nice chamfers on the edges. So there's no hotspots along the spine. But
for the Elementum there is a little switch up here and that adds a bit of
character to it. QSP Penguin well, if you really want to call this a swedge
then yeah it is like a swedge but I’ll just call it a chamfer not so much of a swedge
now the penguin features a flat grind.
Grind of Blades is different
While the Elementum features a
hollow grind like many other knives made by CIVIVI Knives
and you can tell because of the way the light is kind of reflecting you could
see that slight curve when you have it in your hand. So flat grind versus a
hollow Grind! Now the blade thickness
they are exactly the same 0.12 inches thick so both of these have the same
thickness in terms of the blade. The Elementum's blade length coming in at 2.96 inches with the penguin's blade length coming in at 3.125 inches but honestly speaking when you look at it like that they look exactly the same now for the cutting edge of course you get a little less of a cutting edge.
