Spyderco Grasshopper 18

I'm really in conflict about this little knife. I bought it as a treat for myself with no real purpose in mind, and I am very impressed by the solidity and build quality for the money. It opens beautifully (I can do it one-handed, though not as slickly as on some YouTube videos) and the blade is, yes... sigh, sharp enough to shave the hairs on the back of my hand. I really tried it and it really does. Against it, it has a rather lethal look and the point on the blade is truly wicked. I accidentally managed to slice through a thin lanyard with the back of the blade just by opening it. God knows what damage the sharp end could do. As an edc I'm not sure I don't prefer my trusty Victorinox Pocket Pal, which is only 22g (against the Grasshopper's 40g), has two blades and is just as well made without looking so, er... stabby. I am going to carry it for a few weeks and, if I still have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs by the end of the month, I will be happy to give it at least one more star.

Bought this awesome knife for my Dad for Christmas. I had to have a quick look before I packed it away :) Super sharp with a strong backspring. I couldn't believe it was so cheap!

The sharpest folder ive got out the box, and still holding.Blade shape is similair to the Para-Millie, cuts really well for its size, with a real pointy tip. Handle would benefit being a bit thicker. With a larger thumb hole and maybe even a pocket clip it could be opened one-handed. Still 5stars, usual superb delivery from HH, long may it continue!!

This is a brilliant little knife it came razor sharp and the build quality is superb from china. The service was outstanding from HH and will be purchasing more. Brilliant product

This knife is the best one I own. The non locking blade is good and tight and will not close unless you hold it in an unsafe way. The knife has a nice weight because of the ss handle, it came very sharp and cut cleanly though paper. I would recomend this knife to anyone who wants to legally carry in the UK, it's my EDC for life.

Good little knife and well made too. Be careful as the steel is not fully stainless - forget to wipe it down after peeling an apple and it does etch badly.

Very good quality, shaving sharp out of the box. Perfect for EDC (my work colleagues think my Byrd Wings is a bit scary). I can't work out why this is not found in the UK legal section. Super fast free delivery - ordered 7pm Thursday evening, delivered Saturday morning. Thanks Heinnie.

If your looking for a sub-compact key chain knife, this is it! For the price the quality is excellent. Knife comes razor sharp and for a non-locking knife the blade is very secure when flipped. Only bad point is the blade steel, GET A SHARPENER, but tied a paracord loop around it, knotted it up and slip it into my jeans pocket, easy to reach and reliable! 10/10 £14 Get one! Heinnie, service is unbelievable, Will be using many times again!

I've had one of these on my keyring for over a year now and it's perfect. I had a Spyderco Bug first, but the bigger Grasshopper is much better. The exrta bit of size means you can do a lot more with it. It hold a great edge too, 30 seconds with a DC3 or DC4 and a quick strop and tha'ts it sharp for about a 2 or 3 weeks and I like my knives VERY sharp. It has a very useful point too. I've lost count the amount of times I've used it to make pilot holes in things.
