Spyderco Urban Heinnie® Edition 18

How much? Really?..... As soon as you hold this knife it makes total sense. Light and strong. Great action. Beautiful to look at. Safe. Great fiddle factor. It's a lovely lottle thing! What more could you want from a pocket knife?

Top Knife and very fast delivery.

Fantastic U.K. legal pocket knife, perfect to take camping too. I found the edge retention great, needed some use to make it loosen up so that you can open easily with thumb, but this happened after a few days regular use and a bit of oil

The mechanism of the blade had a manufacturing defect, a protrusion of metal making the mechanism feel like it’s full of sand. Even after sanding down it’s still a poor opening and the blade was fairly blunt out of the box. Not what I came to expect from reviews of spyderco knives. Especially at this price.

Very handy, non threatening little knife with blade from a top tier steel. Fit and finish are good, just not in love with the colour of the scales. The colour is just not right for a high end knife. It makes it look cheap. Black would have actually been better.

The knife appeared on my radar when HH offered 10 percent discount at Christmas last year. After having read most of the reviews and also the chat at the Spyderco forum I hesitaded a little bit but finally pulled the trigger… I haven’t regret! The guys at HH had promised me to check for good F&F and they had done so. After 2 weeks delay at German customs it finally arrived last Wednesday. First inspection results: blade razor sharp (my first S90V!) and almost dead center, the backspring (very stiff resp. safe, feels like a backlock) nearly overall flush with the scales, which are in fact on the rough side (very „grippy“), but well finished and showing this wonderful burgundy colour. Then I decided to change the clip to the short version (Dragonfly clip) because in my opinion it fits better and also has no side-to-side play. Doing this I noticed that both the pivot screw and the clip screw were loose and had to be fixed with blue Loctite. I smoothed the scales a little bit using a Scotchbritt. The same I did with the edges of the blade’s back and the hole using a steel tool. Perhaps I will do more work on the scales in future, but for the moment I’m fine with it. In summary I can really recommend this HH special for anybody who is a Spyderco collector (as I am). It seems that the manufacturing quality has become better and better in the timegoing. Ask the HH guys to check for good F&F…they will do so. The support service at HH was perfect, thanks a lot and again kind regards! Now I will carry my Heinnie red knife with pride!

I gave a good rating because was a must fill but have not received. Everything I have bought from HH has been great

I bought this knife during a holiday in England and will be using it as a travel knife when I am not sure about the local knife legislation. I love the red G10 scales of the HH edition, and that the blade steel is S90V is an extra bonus. Grinds are spot on, blade centering is almost perfect, and I really luke the wire clip.

Bought this to replace the ELMAX Squeak for EDC. Great steel in S90v and G10 scales (although the scales are a little on the rough textured side). The dark red handle colour is nice. Especially with an acid etched blade! It is an upgrade over the Squeak if only in size but may not see much use because I've just ordered a Lil Native too. You can't really fault Spyderco Slipit's. The usual excellent service from Heinnie Haynes. I've been buying from these guys for 25 years and have never been let down, not once. They are and always will be my first port of call when shopping for an addition to my collection. Great knife and fantastic service from a world class company.
