We’ve been selling knives and outdoor gear for more than 30 years. In that time, we’ve seen plenty of brands come and go, products become firm favourites and supposedly brilliant bits of kit disappear without much of a fight.That experience shapes the outdoor gear brands you'll find at Heinnie Haynes today.We stock established knife brands, EDC makers, torch specialists, multi-tool manufacturers...

That experience shapes the outdoor gear brands you'll find at Heinnie Haynes today.

We stock established knife brands, EDC makers, torch specialists, multi-tool manufacturers and bushcraft brands from around the world. Some have been around for generations. Others are much newer. What matters to us is whether the gear is genuinely worth owning and using.

Brands We Know and Gear We Trust

There are names here that need very little introduction.

Spyderco and Benchmade have earned loyal followings for their approach to modern knife design. Leatherman has become almost synonymous with the multi-tool, while Victorinox has been putting useful tools into pockets for generations.

But we're not interested in stocking something simply because the logo is familiar.

The more interesting part of Heinnie has always been finding the specialist makers, unusual designs and bits of kit you might not come across in the average outdoor shop. It's why our range stretches from internationally recognised manufacturers to smaller EDC brands and specialist makers doing something we think deserves attention.

And yes, we're fussy.

We want to know what steel a knife uses. We care whether a torch's claimed output stands up to scrutiny. We notice the hardware on a bag, how a multi-tool feels after repeated use and whether a manufacturer actually supports its products when something goes wrong.

Those details matter when you're spending your own money on gear.

Browse the brands below to see everything we currently stock, or narrow things down through our Knives by Brand, Everyday Carry, Bushcraft Gear and Pocket Tools collections. You can also explore Knives by Country if you prefer discovering makers by where their knives originate.

Found a brand you've never heard of? Don't let that put you off. Some of our favourite bits of kit started exactly that way.

And if you want to know what we think of something before you buy it, ask us. That's what we're here for.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best outdoor gear brands?

Some of the strongest outdoor gear brands stocked by Heinnie include Benchmade and Spyderco for premium knives, Leatherman and Victorinox for multi-tools, Fenix for portable lighting, Petromax for outdoor equipment, Maxpedition for hard-wearing carry gear and Stanley for outdoor drinkware and equipment. Morakniv and Fallkniven are also established choices for bushcraft knives. Our Popular Brands collection brings these manufacturers together with the wider range of brands we currently stock.

Which knife brands are best for bushcraft?

Morakniv and Fallkniven remain two of the most respected bushcraft names, thanks to their practical designs, dependable steels, field-proven heritage and the honest relationship between specification and price they consistently maintain. Brands such as Hultafors and Brisa offer further options depending on whether carving, general camp work or heavier outdoor use is the priority. Our bushcraft knives collection and Swedish knives page explore those differences in more detail.

Which brands are best for EDC?

The best EDC brands depend on what you carry every day. Leatherman and Victorinox remain favourites for multi-tools, while BIGiDESIGN focuses on compact precision tools and modern materials. Titaner and Dango cover titanium accessories and wallet systems for those building a more considered carry. Our EDC guide can help you build a setup around how you actually use your gear.

Why should I choose premium outdoor brands?

Premium outdoor brands often cost more initially because they invest heavily in materials, heat treatment, engineering and long-term product support. In practice, that means equipment that lasts longer, performs more reliably, remains easier to maintain and can hold its value better than cheaper alternatives. Our knife care and knife steels guides explain why those details matter.
