UKPK S110v & Heinnie Haynes edition

[@Horusfour]

Nice one. Very through and fair. Spring tension is one of the key points of interest for me, so thanks for that too. Really handy to see the internals and learning the blades can be swapped over. Cheers

[@davids9549]

Well I just got mine (the blue one), my first Spyderco too - just had to see what all the fuss was about. First impressions very good - all you say about it is correct, and I'm most grateful to you for this video which helped me decide which version would suit me. Ultimately, the lighter weight swung it for me, even though the price is a bit silly. I'm looking forward to seeing how I get on with this knife, which is nothing like anything else I have in my lineup. It joins my Enzo PK70 (Black G10) and Manly Wasp S90V (Digicam) to complete what I think is a modestly fine UK-legal modern trio. I'll always favour my traditionals, but these make an interesting occasional alternative.

[@Valheru808]

Adding a sharpening choil is fairly easy. You can use a 3mm diamond file, or a Dremel if you're very careful. Ive done this to all of their knives that I own, and it does make a large difference in sharpening

[@tonyhoodlass1846]

Thanks guys, great review speak to you soon

[@colchesterritter8992]

I have both these and like them a lot. UK Legal 'friendly' but maybe a bit too big for me to be comfortable with carrying. The Urban is a bit better but I find myself carrying the Byrd Tern over all of them. I highly recommend it. Not the best steel obviously but easier to bring back to a screaming sharpness. Thanks.

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

I'll have to get around to the Urban and the Tern, the steel is fine on both, especially for the price!

[@Naptosis]

I'm pretty okay with knots etc, I've put a quick and very effective lanyard (fob) on my UKPK. Perhaps I should put it online so other people can do it too. I was on the design team, so maybe I have a little more experience with the UKPK. Not that there's much more to say after your comprehensive review.

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

On the design team! Nice job! And please do upload! Sharing knowledge is a fundamental block of the internet as a whole, I'd definitely watch it!

[@davidroberts1816]

Just got the HH one I’m very very pleased

[@ERRORFACE1]

i got the hh edition . nice u picked on the shine clip . i don't like it either . what I done is i get it off and heated up with a torch and dipped into used engine oil . now its looks like very dark bronze ish non reflecting . even in black jeans hardly noticeable awesome also looks neat with the red g10

[@Horusfour]

Good idea

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

I shall very much have to try that, thank you for the tip!

[@mattg6136]

Hi, Got 2 of each red s30 and 110s my grey bd1hollow grind i have convexed and I also have the titanim scaled s30v which also has ph washers, full back spring the blade is slightly thicker though. Used the frn b1s for work nearly every day for years, rarely oiled never stripped, usually cleaned with kitchen towl. The action is like new maybe a hair lighter and smoother same with back spring resistance, has no blade wobble, centering still good ever so slightly to the left looking at it closed tip down down because I r/h open putting thumb pressure in that direction. Yeh, I have tried a few other one hand openers Suru Fox, Rat 2 for work. Bestech Junzi looked promising but I think the Carbon Fibre inlay will catch, no other designs, looks, materials, no ball bearing pivot racers for me or review wise interests me, Suru was last go but for me the UKPK is still the best, feels so natural to use, very very rarely use pocket clip only at home. Usually sits in front right trouser pocket on it's own to proect and for easy access and boom it's open and ready to use 1 second after pulling my hand out. Awsome uk edc blade a big fan of the UKPKs. O and not having a sharpening choil doesn't bother me as they can catch when cutting, you could always put your own in there. Best UKPK review i've seen. Well done mate. ATB.. from Manchester

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

Cheers to you Matt! Great read, I must admit, I haven't seen the titanium UKPK, interesting that they chose a thicker blade stock. Your point about the sharpening choil rings true, I certainly have had them catch material at work, and it's great to hear that Evan after many years, the knife is still solid. Thanks! -Al

[@sryslyuguys]

The S110V is nearly £120 now, and the HH has been out of stock for some time :(

[@peteg22397]

Wow, I just looked at HH and it's £150 now. Crazy that it's gone up almost 50% since this video was released 4 years ago

[@iDTecKt]

@@peteg22397 Just bought 1 on Amazon for £60

[@psykobuilds]

I have the black one and I really want the blue one with the upgraded steel. Considering the bright green handle salt edition. It is expensive for what it is and the bdn1 steel is still very good

[@Johnnyfandango1]

There's a crkt knife at 15:45, anyone know the name of it and if it's still sold??

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

That was the CRKT Liong mah #5, it is sadly no longer sold.

[@Johnnyfandango1]

@@UKLegalCarryKnives That's a shame, looks like CRKT aren't selling any decent UK EDCs and Boker plus now only have the XS when they used to have the UK sub com and the UK trance 42. Looks a bit like the industry has forgotten about the UK market lately

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

I have both the leaf ctsbd1 and s30v hennie, i love them both but am a bit scared to carry them in public just because of sheeple. i would hand my victorinox to someone to use but no ones touching my spydies, my mates are not knife guys and would just ruin the edge by misuse. nice comprehensive video :)

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

I know that feeling! I carry a Statgear ledge to lend out to friends and colleagues! Cheers

[@iDTecKt]

So why would the half spring make a difference?

[@requiscatinpace7392]

What’s S110 like to sharpen? I’ve heard it’s a nightmare.

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

It's not too bad if you have good stones, Paddy's potato peelers made a video with this very knife about sharpening S110V it's definitely worth a look

[@paddyspotatopeelers2154]

Great review and editing skills. I fancy the s110v version but im happy with the g10 one for now. Atb paddy. 👍😊☘️

Thanks Paddy! Love your videos as well, you come across as a very knowledgeable and friendly chap! You were the one that convinced me to splash on the Hinderer XM slippy!

[@umwhat1574]

Great vid mate, defo looking to get one of these. So these are completely legal to carry in the U.K. right ?

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

Absolutely, there are a few stipulations such as no pubs/clubs/schools/football grounds and being discreet but totally legal to edc in the UK

[@umwhat1574]

UK Legal Carry Knives nice. Cheers for the reply

[@ErnstKruger]

Great review! I wouldn't worry about the washers or lack thereof as it's not needed with FRN. It's kind of built in. Also, I think it's worth noting that BD1N on the standard UKPK is a massive step up from the CTS BD1 that it replaces and is probably a much better value than it was before.

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

To be fair, I was harsh on the BD1N which I have heard is great from spyderco at least.

[@RibzRobins]

Great video, very in depth and informative, I am new to edc and don't own a spyderco or any knife for that matter. I'm looking for the best UK legal knife, after watching your video I think the choice Is clear! But would you say that it is the best choice for people in UK?

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

Honestly could be in my opinion, reasonably priced, uk legal, won't close on you, comfortable, good materials, clip/one hand opening, it's a great choice! I do prefer the Liong mah traveler or Slippy slicer but they're over triple the price!

[@RibzRobins]

@@UKLegalCarryKnives I do agree, it is a great knife, especially in this edition that I've only just found out about watching your video. Going to order mine tomorrow 🙂

[@Roland_4012]

I also own both versions, but like the HH version better. Blade steel and scale material aren't the reasons for that, but the spring. I like the full spring of the HH UKPK much better than the shortened one of the S110V version.

[@iDTecKt]

Is it that much more noticable?

[@rickkerans8485]

Wish I had gotten one. Probably can't get them now even if could probably not able to ship it.

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

Looks like not for a little while at least

[@Horusfour]

Just remembered. How does the cutting geometry compare to that of the Manly Wasp?

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

They're very close, both flat grinds of course with the UKPK being a smidge thinner but also 1mm shorter on the edge so there's honestly not much in it between them, all I'd say is that because of the gimping and finger choil, you get better control over the Spyderco as you can choke up on the actual blade.

[@suttonmatthew]

The wire clip is one of the most popular pocket clips on the Spyderco. I never heard of a broken clip.

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

It's been mentioned on reddit and other forums online about the occasional wire clip break, a quick google search will yield results. It is though, most definitely functionally fine, and I absolutely focused too much on it's occasional breakage in this review, a problem that nearly all users will ever encounter.

[@randomreviewz2628]

I just picked up the s110v version (from Paddy). I love it! I've always wanted the HH one too. Do you still have and use both these? It seems like you favour the HH one in the vid. Just interested if you changed your mind.

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

I do certainly prefer the g10 version as I prefer the scales, the steel is better on yours, as it happens, the one you got off of Paddy is very likely the same one in this video, I traded it to him a while back. Still carry the HH version around with me a fair bit and its a staple size comparitor in my full reviews.

[@randomreviewz2628]

@@UKLegalCarryKnives It's probably the same knife. The action feels smooth as silk. Way nicer than I was expecting.

[@benm4290]

It is nice. Spyderco do, in my opinion, make the best UK EDC knives. Have you tried the Urban? Best one for me.

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

I've yet to, it's a hard sell right now though, lot's of exciting things about, I will review the urban at some stage however!

Flippers aren’t legal in the U.K. so you might struggle finding reputable places. Only know this cos I asked Heinnie a long time ago about the large Pilar.

[@speckledjim_]

@@nathski22 perfectly legal to sell.

[@ThomasConnolly]

I never understand why the Heinnie Haynes exclusive edition of the UKPK has a CPM S30V blade. S30V is a good blade steel, but it's nothing special. At the time the Heinnie Haynes exclusive originally came out, you could buy a standard production UKPK lightweight with an S110V blade from any online knife dealer. I also don't understand why only the Heinnie Haynes exclusive Spyderco Urban has an S90V blade and not any of their other Spyderco Exclusives🤔

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

for me G10 completes an already fantastic UK cutting tool, I have an ordinary UKPK and for the extra ten pounds you get G10 a slightly more resistant lockup and better blade steel, I bought one :). Your cameras brilliant by the way, what are you using to film?

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

Thank you for the kind words! My camera is just my smartphone, Razer phone 1, it's good in light conditions but it's terrible in low light, very grainy quality.

Custom handle scales with a custom pocket clip ( that's what I want)

[@John..18]

I have both of these too, the blue one is miles better than the red HH one, imho,, I would be very upset if I lost the S110v version, but, just mildly annoyed, if I lost the red one.. I use the red one, where I don't want to "spoil" the best (UK) knife in the world... I'd advise everyone to avoid the HH version, it's heavier, and seems crude by comparison to the S110v version,, ps, anyone want to buy my HH ukpk,,???

Sure, I'll buy

[@slick_slicers]

Have you seen the clip on the SOG Terminus? It shouts "look at me, I have a scary, deadly, murderous weapon here! Be afraid, be very afraid!!!" This (the UKPK) is a great knife, but it slipped out of my edc rotation very quickly because it’s red and pointy. Just not my style. Great video though, thanks!

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

I'll be getting the terminus soon, looking forward to the murdery clip 😂

[@slick_slicers]

I’m not sure I’d recommend it. It’s more show than go and, to my mind, it’s a wee bit too attention grabbing.

[@Thomas-dz4eg]

Silver works best. Just looks like a pen. No black clips with flaking paint for me!

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

DLC would be my choice since that doesn't flake either but a fair point, many might see it as a pen, although I carry my pen in my shirt but I know those who do use their pockets.

[@MDM1992]

I don't get why people care so much about the deep carry, it can't be seen or recognised approach. I prefer a bit sticking out the grab and get out easier, and frankly, as long as the knife is unlocking and 3 inches or less people can bitch all they want it's fully legal. Worst that happens is it makes for an interesting argument when a pcso notices it and starts claiming "your not allowed to be carrying that" but it's always funny watching them walk off with heir tail between their legs when you tell them the legislation says very clearly the opposite and you should know that more than I do given your profession. They usually try and twist and omit parts of the legislation in their favour so I memorised the important/relevant bits to shut that down immediately. The law says we can have them so why be so bothered about hiding them.
