Spyderco Heinnie Haynes® UK Penknife G10 18

Great uk friendly pocket knife

Materials,cost and functionality combined make this the perfect UK EDC knife.

So, I feel compelled to write an update after a week of fiddling around and using the knife at every given opportunity. The blade is superb. The S30V is strong and maintains a very sharp edge after even robust use in situations such as impromptu gardening, slicing through thick, thorny and tough bramble branches and even bamboo stalks nearly an inch across. Dig into the bamboo stalk and twist and the blade does the rest, cutting the bamboo off. That was when I realised the knife was a step beyond the usual pocket knife offering. During this task, it lost not one jot of sharpness and was ready to practically shave with, after only a cursory wipe down and rinse to remove sap, mud and crud. Back to gardening and my bulky gardening gloves lost purchase at a funny angle when trying to slice a really stubborn root. The blade slipped and went tip down onto some brickwork at the garden border. Cue a sinking feeling in pit of my stomach and cursing myself for a being clumsy idiot. Take look at the knife. Not a scratch. Not even the slightest chip. A little brick dust and with one wipe, a pristine edge remained. Amazed, I look at the brick. The knife has just laughed at it and took a slice out. I highly doubt that the steel on the standard UKPK would stand up to that kind of idiotic, accidental mistreatment and I don’t recommend going at bricks on purpose, but it goes to show, this knife and steel are no joke. Oh and of course, trying to be clever when closing the blade on my leg by hitting the spine on my thigh, I manage to misjudge the higher stiffness of the spring compared to the old ukpk and therefore bring the tip ever so slightly against my chinos. There is now a perfectly straight and neat half inch gash in my chinos. Luckily they were hanging loose at the time or else I’d have a nice little gash in my leg too. Be blooming careful with closing the blade! This one hell of a tough and sharp knife. My first experience with S30V and I am very, very impressed.

Absolutely love this knife. Waited more than 2 years. Don’t need say anymore as it’s said already

Its so good My only gripe is the colour of the scales. I wish it was the same as the othe HH knive scales. But this is a top UK Knife love the extra 2nd lock incase it folds on you 11/10 4 star because I instantly looked for new scales

UK legal EDC with strong lock and single handed opening, this lightweight knife has a slim profile and ticks every box in a quality package. I've struggled to leave it alone since it arrived and haven't found one thing I'd change, excellent...

I never normally write reviews but I think it's important to with items like knives. I have both the original UKPK and the Heinnie edition. The Heinnie version takes the original UKPK to a whole new level. The G10 scales give a much better grip, the original with the spider on the handle just looks cheap compared to this. The handle on the heinnie edition has great grip, the colour is more of a maroon with a slightly translucent look to it. I will say this though, be very careful with it, as the half stop is so strong that if your finger gets in the way then say goodbye to it (as with most knives). This knife is awesome, it's like they listened to the peoples problems with the original UKPK and used that info to create this product. I love that the removed the spider on the handle and in general really impressed with it. Great service from Richard and Marie too, thanks.

I’ve had three Hienne UKPK’s now . I gave the first to my dad and modded the second . My third is like the last two I bought . Perfectly centred . Lovely fit and finish and hair shaving sharp . I wish Hienne would do a collab with the drop point . This is better than the S110 . I’ve got one and this is much better value . Can’t see why anyone would buy the standard over this . An extra £10 gets you so much more . The finest uk legal slip joint . No . The best out there at present . I’d say so . At least until the UKPK Salt comes out .The usual impeccable Hienne service .

Absolutely great knife. Way stiffer than the original UK Penknife thanks to the longer back spring. Feels great in the hand. Definitely buy this knife before it goes out of stock again!
