Nice looking edc knife, anyone tried it?

[Samon]

Found this simple looking knife on hh http://www.heinnie.com/product.asp?s...ID=0&P_ID=7215 (no connection etc) and it looks like a nice one, has anyone used one or even own one?

It looks pretty good and actually states what steel is used unlike most of the edc folders with their 'stainless steel'.

any thoughts let me know!

cheers

Its a neat knife. I've had a couple of knives by that manufacturer and they are good for the price.

Have you considered getting a Sheffield made knife for a similar price? There are some on the Heinnie site made by Arthur Wright. I find them to be good knives and its supporting local industry.

I did look into his knives but I heard on reviews they weren't great, I haven't seem one in the flesh but hearing things about quality control and general quality is a bit worrying.

that knife is my EDC blade, its great for general cutting tasks. its easy to sharpen and takes a good edge.

Ah ok, how is the steel compared to other common stainless steels?

Is the build quality good?

[Siberianfury]

build quality is pretty good, as for the steel its better than the steel the buck knives use, better than most stainless steels around. probably equal to the steel on the SAK's in terms of edge retention and sharpening.

sounds pretty good, any chance you could do a wee review for us? single bladed slippies are popular and I only saw that knife this morning.

That looks nice.

7Cr17MoV Stainless Steel is used by various chinese branded makers - its okish for light tasks its no 440c or high spec SS but as usual you get what you pay for...
