Overall awesome knife
Has been my first experience with EDC and it's been a smooth experience -- the thumb stud is handy and it's easy to open and close. The design is pretty and frankly I have not much bad to say about it.

Very nice looking and functional EDC with one fixable issue.
This is my initial review of the QSP Puffin Carbon Fiber TI- thumb stud two tone.  Fit and Finish: The fit and finish is excellent. The centering is right on. No sharp edges and the craftsmanship great. Lockup is good.  Deployment: The action is excellent . Snappy opening with the thumb studs and a smooth but not fully drop shut closing action.  Ergonomics: Overall the ergos are great and the Puffin is very comfortable in your hand. I don’t feel any hot spots as I have used it. It is not very grippy but locks into my hand well. I have medium size hands. It is not particularly thin but that gives you a nice grip. Size: This is perfect for an EDC folder. Carry: The clip and carry works well but you need to make sure it is secured. I switched the blade for left hand carry and thought it was secured. It began sliding around as I saw in one review. Some blue Loctite seem to solved the problem. I did let is sit for 24 hours before using it again.  However, carrying it a few days later the clip came off. I was lucky to find it. It am used red Loctite and that seems to have solved the problem, but people need to be aware if it (not a ideal fix but it worked) and the may want to address it in future versions. It carries well in the pocket. It is not big or heavy that helps. Blade: I love the design and S35V is good to go all day. The blade has very nice edge that slices very, well. It handles many EDC task well but it is not designed to be a hard use knife. It came paper cutting sharp out of the box. The thumb studs are in the slicing path. However their placement does make for good and comfortable deployment so I think it is worth the trade off. The only marking on the blade arethe QSP logo and S35VN. The top of the blade is crowned so there are not sharp edges. Appearance: I think the Puffin is a really classy looking knife. I love my carbon fiber version and the overall look is great. The silver and black just look good. I like the two tone blade and the carbon fiber is very nicely done.  Value: This is a good value at $129.  Overall: This is a great looking blade and a perfect size for EDC. It is highly recommend pending more long term use.

Nice overall
I like this one. I chose the version with the opening cutout and am very happy with the fit and finish as well as the action.

Got this to replace my former EDC (kershaw emerson cqc-1k) that had developed a bit of wobble in the blade after many years of carry. Took me a while to get used to opening it one handed (thumb stud version) and cut myself a few times before I got the hang of it. This thing was SHARP out of the box. Action was a touch rough before break-in, but a dab of gun oil and constant playing with it as one does with just about any new knife has smoothed it out considerably. Overall very satisfied.

Close but not quite
Picked up the thumbslot (for lack of a better word) version The Good For the price point, fit and finish is excellent. Razor sharp out of the box Great size and weight for EDC type knife The Bad A little concerned about a pocket clip that is only secured with one screw. Can totally see the pocket clip rotating out one day down the road. The Ugly Has a thumbslot, but cannot be opened one handed for the life of me. Combination of too low profile a blade geometry and a little bit of a detent issue. Installed a Kwik Stud on it and it fires open smoothly, so it’s predominantly a geometry issue. Would leave the Kwik Stud on, but it looks stupid and there is marginally enough steel between the thumbslot and the back of the blade for it to grab on too, and it would most likely come off. It seems counterintuitive to offer a ball bearing pivot with a blade you can’t open with one hand. I guess the lesson there is order the thumb stud version, but it shouldn’t be.

Disappointed
The knife is clean and looks sleek. Comes sharp and stylish but the design flaw tells a different story. The pocket clip is secured with 2 star screws on opposite sides and the first day I wore it (without any cutting or use I might add) it came loose and would not unscrew on the side that secures the pocket clip. I tried to tighten each opposite screw and there remains enough play in the threads to bring the pocket clip loose. What. The. Actual. Eff. How was this thought through!?!
