Gifts For The Heinnie Fan

Gifts For The Heinnie Fan

Gifts for survivalists work best when they solve a real problem, not just look the part under the tree. This page is for the gear literate: the ones who check a steel grade before they check the price tag.

Finding the best gifts for survivalists

Buying for someone who already owns three knives, and still wants a fourth, takes a bit of thought. That's what makes good gifts for survivalists different from the rest - a numbered edition they'd have bought anyway, with a bit more story behind it. Take the Real Steel Heinnie Haynes® Exclusive Barlow, available with a Spear Point, a Sheepsfoot or a Clip Point blade, each in titanium with its own serial number. Want something they can carry without a second thought? The CRKT Squid Compact Heinnie Haynes® Edition takes CRKT's frame-locking original and rebuilds it as non-locking, in our signature red.

These are gifts for knife lovers who spot the details everyone else misses. The Craighill False Book looks like a battered old engineering manual, until a hidden magnetic catch pops it open to reveal a microsuede-lined cavity inside. The Holme & Hadfield Watch Deck Pro displays a watch collection under a hinged acrylic cover, built from wood rather than the plastic most organisers settle for.

Outdoor survival gifts and Christmas gifts for Doomsday preppers

Know someone who talks bug-out bags at the dinner table? The PDW SPD EDTC Case holds a folding knife, a watch or a pair of glasses inside a shell tough enough to take a knock in a packed bag. For something that raises an eyebrow, the Boker Plus Heinnie® Exclusive OTF Auto Comb shares its mechanism with a genuine out-the-front knife, but there's no blade in it at all. It's fully UK legal.

Every piece carries our own read on UK knife law, never a guess. Buyers of anything with a blade must be over 18. Get in touch if you're not sure what suits them.
