The Spyderco Grasshopper is one of the best selling UK-friendly carry knives that we sell here at Heinnie Haynes®.
Non-locking folding knives aren’t a new concept. They’ve been around for centuries without much change but continue selling among a sea of modern locking knives. The reason? While many knife buyers appreciate the traditional aspects of a non- locker, more want this type of knife because they live or work where laws prohibit carrying and using a locking pocket knife. Spyderco perceived a gap between traditional slipjoints and modern locking folders and created a product line called SLIPITS. SLIPITS offer reliable and sophisticated non-locking folders that open with one hand, have a finger choil for comfort and safety and are conveniently accessible.
As the overall SLIPIT line expands, a subcategory of micro-sized SLIPITS with stainless steel handles is populating within and Spyderco calls them Bugs. The first Bug was matter-of-factly named, The Bug. Its non-locking blade is just barely over an inch long. Next up, a two-inch blade called the HoneyBee followed by the release of a larger one yet, The GrassHopper.
The GrassHopper’s size is closest to that of a true penknife with its blade over two-inches. Its PlainEdge 8Cr13mov stainless steel blade stays open when you’re cutting, held by resistant pressure at the knife’s pivot area. GrassHopper handles are chamfered with no squared-off edges to dig or bite into a gripping hand. The handle is also stainless steel with a laser engraved Spyderco bug and enough blank area for a small amount of engraving or customization as jewelry or a gift item. Handle lanyard-hole welcomes a chain for wear around a neck or a keychain.

Add to BasketAnother top EDC slippy from Spyderco, this knife fills the gap between the 'novelty' (but very useful) bug, and the sometimes-intimidating UKPK. You won't be building a log cabin with this knife, but the needle thin point and flat ground blade makes short work of plastic packaging and cardboard, and is great for fine work- ie. all the things you *really* need a penknife for...
There are very few UK legal carry knives that are very cheap, excellent quality and don't look like traditional penknives, and the Grasshopper is one of them! Big enough to be truly useful rather than ornamental (unlike the Bug and Honeybee) and the bigger Spydie hole makes it just barely a capable one-hand opener. The point is sharp and so is the blade, fits great on any keychain and it's very secure. Get one.
Very good EDC for UK customers, easy to sharpen, paracord fits lanyard hole, slim design, very well made.
And definitely not my last. I'd always been put off with the prices of Spyderco stuff, so when this came along I decided to get one to see what all the fuss was about. I can see now why their knives are so popular. This is fantastic. Very very sharp right out the box, been using it in work for over a week now. Brilliant!
Great little knife for those EDC jobs like cutting string, paper, cloth and cardboard. Would get 5 stars if it could be opened one handed (it can be done but not very easy).Too small and frail for the heavier stuff like cutting rubber but a nice knife all the same.
