Black Fox Bean Gen 2 Folding Knife

Bought the stonewashed steel version and am pleased with the look of this little guy-check the dimensions, it’s a small knife. Very unobtrusive and doesn’t raise any eyebrows when I get it out to use - can be a problem in the UK! I’ll probably remove the clip as the knife sits better just in your pocket. Ok 440 isn’t super steel, but it’s perfect for this and takes an edge really easily. A couple of strops and it’s hair shavingly sharp.

I bought the G10 version of this knife and it makes a great EDC carry pocket knife, it is small and discreet with smooth one-handed opening action. The slip-joint was a bit on the light side for me out of the box however it can be adjusted to your particular preference. I'm not sure what the function of the cut-out is for at the back of the cutting edge, it's way too small for my finger and hurts if I place it there. The blade is nice and sharp straight out the box, overall I can recommend this little belter of an EDC knife.

Have had one of these for a year after someone virtually had a panic attack when I got my UKPK out to open a package. Got the black one first as it is small, discreet and easy to hide. Then, as I was so pleased with the first one, I got the steel version for occasional use when I want something less tactical looking. It's not technically the highest end steel, but it is easily good enough for urban edc and strops back to a keen edge in a few strokes. This is, in my opinion, the perfect edc knife if you want something cheap but vert, vert good quality that you can use discreetly in most situations. 10 out of 10 to HH for customers experience as usual.

I can see why this knife gets very good reviews. It's excellent. Very well made, shaving sharp, and feels good in the hand. Looks very classy too. It's an excellent little EDC.

I reviewed the G10 version of this knife in early July having owned and used it for a couple of weeks. I really liked the knife at that time but was finding it a bit of a struggle to open one handed. However, over the last few weeks it's had more use and has loosened up/worn in and it's far easier to open one handed than before. It is a sturdy, well made and useful legal edc knife and now I'm not struggling to open it one handed I've upgraded my rating of it to 5 stars. Good value and recommended.

I've had this knife for months now and I absolutely love it. It's tiny. Just slip it into your pocket and you'll never really know it's there. The blade is only made of 440C which isn't the hardest wearing, but then again that's not what the knife is made for. For every day tasks like opening parcels, letters, cutting ropes and anything else your EDC knife might be used for this is the best I've found. I have the G10 variant and frankly I'm glad I went for it. It feels nice and grippy in the hand and it fits in with everything else I own. The knife is easy enough to open with one hand (you can adjust the detent tension with the screws on the side in order to make it tighter, or looser on opening. I have mine set to be as stiff as possible, but it's still easy to flick out with your thumb. Because the blade is fairly small it's not going to cause much uproar if you get it out in a public place - even the tacti-cool G10 isn't exactly alarming to weald. I find myself fiddling with it more than I'm proud to admit to. The clunk it makes when it snaps open is addictive. Others have already remarked on this, but the pocket clip is a bit of an annoyance, firstly it's probably too tight to actually attach to your pocket easily, it also leaves the knife poking way too far out of your trousers which looks odd. I've removed mine now but it's a tough little bugger and took some real force to undo. The screws holding it in are coated in Loctite and my god it works. As an EDC knife it's brilliant, with the pocket clip removed I couldn't ask for better. Are there better metals? Yes. Do you need them? No. Are there larger more 'useful' blades? Yes. Do you need those? Again, probably not. I'd highly recommend you pick one of these up. It won't disappoint.

I want to start this out by saying this was my first order from Hennie Haynes and the delivery time is phenomenal. Ordered midday on Monday, arrived Tuesday morning. Now for the knife. After arriving this knife fell apart after two hours of opening. I say opening because all I had done was flip the knife open a few times and carried it. I hadn't even cut anything. the bottom screw had come out and wouldn't screw back in. i later found the hole for this screw hadn't been drilled properly so i pullout out my hand drill and did it myself. I thought this could have been a freak error or something but i then ran into my next problem. the knife had no edge. Not blunt but simply not properly machined so it had no sharp edge. I have spent hours with a stone re profiling the edge but its still not all that sharp. I'm pretty sure the screw should be longer so there was no risk of the first issue happening but idk what happened with the second knife. My experience with this knife is that it is not built to last but given how popular this knife is I suspect mine was simply one that slipped past quality control.

A small pocket knife that would be forgettable (it is small in hand and pocket) if it were not so useful. A UK friendly knife that i bought on a whim due to the design (zebra wood) and i have found that I EDC it. So much so that I have also bought the G10 so that I can leave them dotted around. This is not a knife for heavy work or suited for long tasks. The clip isn't deep carry and it is 440C steel. None of this matters given what it is. It is perfect for dismantling those never ending packages, is not offensive to use in (knife wary) public and is suitable for most household tasks. Great little knife. Trying to convince myself i don't need the steel one, to complete the set.

G10 version. A well made, sturdy and useful sized pocket knife. Blade sharpens easily with a Lansky blademedic. Feels good and grippy in the hand. Only downside is that it's a little tricky to open one handed, it is possible but not as smoothly as some of the other one handed openers I have. Overall a decent legal edc .
