Real Steel Heinnie® Windmill

The backspring broke on mine too, and after very little use. This is a shame because this is a great idea, and would have bene a very practical tool. I nearly didn't review it, as I want Hennie to do more like this,- just without the snapping. Although the other big problem is something I hate, that Gerber also like to do too, and that is scissors that don't open out to let you sharpen them - why do they exist? SAK scissors have been about forever, and are just about perfect, and easy to sharpen. I have no idea how I'd go about sharpening these. At least the scissors start out sharp, unlike on my Gerber (purchased elsewhere). If Real Steel can sort out those backsprings, and tweak the scissors so they can be sharpened, I'd be recommending the pants off these.

I stupidly sharpened the scissors on my SOG Snippet and ruined them so needed a replacement. After looking around and seeing that the Snippet was out of stock & Leatherman no longer make the Micra I was not sure what to do so I called and was recommended the Real Steel Heinnie Windmill. It is awesome, really well made and a absolute bargain 5 Stars

Nice price and concept, blade and scissors, the most important EDC tools in my opinion but has a serious flaw. The back spring on mine snapped off after a few weeks of very light use. I see that others have had this issue too. Wouldn’t recommend. Possibly the Atlas version is better?

The HH Windmill is a very well executed EDC for the masses... It arrived razor sharp and is very easy to sharpen, the scissors are proportional and actually work. Last but far from least its UK friendly, this knife is now my go to EDC and I am very attached to it...

Brought this as a general daily use knife as it so far hasn’t let me down, still fairly new so haven’t put it to much use but so far it’s sliced through my salami with ease. Cut through cordage and plastic packaging. This scissors are a good size and comfortable to use.

First off perfect HH service as always, ordered quite late in the day delivered 12:30 following day ! The knife (took) itself 10/10 for this money it’s terrific value. Shaving sharp out the box, good blade shape and size for around the house and out.and about. The scissors are excellent too, useful size and sharp too. If it had a bottle opener it would be 11/10 !

Been desperately after a HH branded knife for ages and money being a frustrating concern, I've been unable to get one, I was intending to get one with the red HH handle scales but couldn't afford one previously to this purchase. Then I caught an HH email for this low budget set of EDC chopping sticks (as I like to call knives sometimes) and the price was right. Xmas around the corner I bought two this one and another without the scissors as a gift. So, the product, out the box the knife was folded in a red crepe paper wrapping and upon opening the quality of the knife was awesome especially regarding the price. For the basic simplistic style of the knife I couldn't say anything bad about it. Opening the blade (being one of the obvious first things to do) I immediately brushed my thumb gently sideways (not along the blade!) across the blade in order to get an idea of the sharpness and instantly I could tell it was super sharp with the blade being quite thin especially at the cutting edge side I would say it was very similar to razer sharp! The mechanism was right but not difficult to open and the blade snaps nicely and firmly back into the handle. Other reviewers have said the blade doesn't have a half stop position which it doesn't and I agree it would have been better and slightly safer for it to have one so just be slightly careful when closing the blade. Like I said, for the price it's an unimportant minus point. The handle is all metal and simple in design with a nice touch of a HH cutout and reversible deep pocket clip, again for the cost and regarding handle grip comfort, it's ideal for the purpose of just having it in your bag etc for mostly emergency 'out in the field' type situations. The scissors are a massive improvement from the fold out scissors I have on a very old Swiss army knife and I was very impressed with the folding mechanism and cutting ability of those, esp for the price yet again. There's a lanyard hole (or holes) through the top so I immediately weaved a paracord key fob through those :) Genuinely this is a fantastic budget knife that's super sharp and feels strong and firm in use and being an HH and EDC I'm fully please with my purchase as it suits my needs for a EDC sling it in a bag and forget it until needed situations even if that's just for opening boxes. I like it. As always the delivery speed was fast and email confirmations etc were all good.
