Qvist Bladeworks Variant PE2 Prototype - Differences Explained - Titanium Scales Front Flipper

Published: 2 years ago

Today I'm super fortunate to get to show you this new prototype of the @JacobLundquistDesign Variant PE 2 -- and in titanium, no less! There's four main changes between the PE and PE 2, and we're going to break them all down. Spoiler: all of them are nice upgrades to what was already a fantastic knife!

The pre-order for this knife ends May 6, so if you're watching this and there's still time, make sure you get in on it while you still can -- and while it's $10 off! The pre-order is *also* available through Urban EDC Supply. I personally recommend buying it directly from Qvist if you can, because that will get the largest percentage of your money to Jacob himself. But if you have points or a gift card to Urban EDC Supply, or if there's just other items you want to get at the same time, that's a great option too.

Note that if you're a lefty and want to go through Urban EDC Supply, the lefty clip upgrade (Jacob is personally milling the scales for a lefty clip placement on request), you can still get it that way, too:

If you miss out on the pre-order, you'll still be able to buy the knife at the full retail price (which is still a _very_ good value) once they come in from QSP later this year.
