Manly Wasp 18

This looks a plain-Jane in the photos. Simple blade shape, featureless handle. But it's really impressed me. The lock up and 1/4, 1/2 stops are excellent. OK you can;t flick it, but it's UK legal so why would you want that? The stops are all firm and make it pretty hard to trap you fingers without being totally careless. The full open position is the strongest lock up I've ever seen on a folder. The blade isn't lock but is relatively wide and thick enough to feel strong. Mine came absolutely shaving sharp and so far hasn't dulled a bit. From all reports, it's likely to be a fair while before it needs a sharpen. Sits unobtrusively in a jeans pocket with its nice little clip. S90v and UK legal for £65 (in Green). Excellent pocket knife.

Find cheaper in s90v. Solidly opens akin to a lock knife it's that solid once opened. Prolly earlier ones may hav been a tad shoddy, not by 2024 - this thing is 'the' bargain at £65 & ive also noticed a Real Steel in Nitro-V for even less that will be taking my money soon enough, but I bet it won't open as solidly as this; a very nice attribute for a UK EDC knife.... & Super Steel for beer money. Win win!!!!!!!

S90V steel for under £100, UK Legal Carry and quite a stiff slip joint so it doesn't close too easily. What's not to like. Great service again by HH

Very pleased I purchased this knife. UK legal with an S90V blade for a great price! My new favourite cardboard destroyer. Workmanship is ok for the price but it's all about the fantastic blade. No blade wiggle and it has four firm lock-out points as you open and close it with a nice firm final lock-out in use. No hot spots after prolonged use. Great service by Heinnie Haynes as always.

Your really can't go wrong with this very high edge retention s90v blade, you know it's going to be cutting like butter for a long time. Very sharp, but not super sharp and we all know there a real pain to sharpen but for the price this should last a good while if edge retention and cutting is your use. If your looking for a tough knife though maybe look elsewhere like a Glock knife, they go through brick with a hammer. All in all great EDC knife and fantastic service from heinnie, which keeps me coming back time and time again.

Order this and a real steel titanium both went back for defaults found on £1 shop folders. Massive gaps in this on scales bare in mind the price you pay! The real steel went back for completely stripped screws out of the box! Back to back both knifes 2 separate orders and I was left empty handed for a few days! Sent back a numbered 141 and asked not to give me a higher knife number if that was the case just send back mine with repaired screws...got sent back 300 plus! With emails and phone calls back and forth dosnt seem like a was valued with all the money iv spent. Abit of QC and check over the knifes before hand. Oh and the 300 plus numbered luna iv had back still has 1 stripped screw! I give up.

Beautiful knife, fabulous blade, quality control could be a little better, but the blade is perfectly centred, scales could fit a little better and the indents mean the opening is amazingly stiff…. But once open it’s beautifully balanced and sharp. Possibly my favourite edc.

I''ve used this knife under the hardest conditions camping etc and put it through a great deal of pressure . It never failed me once, and because of the way the knife opens and closes I felt completely save. I've hade a great deal of expensive knives fail at some time on me, but never this one. And at this price-it's a steal.

Very robust feeling well built knife,was going to talk about other stuff like fit and finish,ergos and the like but lets cut(geddit)to the chase.Without doubt the sliciest,sharpest blade with the best edge retention ive ever exoerienced.Once your used to the stiff opening and stops its no problem to use.Only drawback for me is i dont get to sharpen it as much as id like.Truly amazing steel for the price,thanks HH
