Speaking of UK Pen knives

[greencobra]

my buddy is going home to the UK for the holiday. I've given him money to pick up a couple of these pen knives for me. Now he's not going to London this trip but spending time in Yorkshire and Wales. New Years will be in Amsterdam. The big question is, anyone know where he can find the Pen knife in those areas? Do most well stocked knife shops stock it?

from my experiance and i have worked all over the UK good and well stocked knife shops are not common
you guys in the US are lucky in that regard
but your in luck if your friend is going to wales then one of the better ones heinnie haynes (and he has UK penknives in stock as far as i know)
is in wales just south of cardiff
heres the site with the address

Heinnie Haynes
Unit 210 Vale Enterprise Centre

now i have never delt with him but loads of guys on the british blades site have and i have never read a bad word
it may not be the easyiest to find but it will probaly be your best bet enless someone else knows some where better ??
the price is even reasonable for that knife as well :rolleyes:
take care

As Jon says, Heinnie's are good to deal with. The other option would be Joe at Extreme Outdoor Gear, also based in Wales:

Depends when your buddy's going to be here - according to their website they're closed over the holidays. Probably worth an email though.

Good luck in finding a UKPK. It's a really sweet little piece - you'll like it! :D

I've dealt with heinnie haynes for a number of years and they could not be more helpful. Try e-mailing Linda with your friends route/stopping places I'm sure she will help. I've also prchased from Joe @ extreme outdoors, again he seems to be a helpful guy.

Heinnie Hayes will serve you well. I can't comment on picking up the knife in a shop (I've never seen a shop in Britian stocking anythign more than a couple of Leatherman models and the mandatory display of SAKs ), however I'm sure if your friend puts in an order it will arrive easily in time to get it back to you, they're very quick, mine arrived the very next day (though I did order fairly early in the morning).

Good luck, I hope you get the chance to use use one as they are superb knives :)

I got mine from heinnie before anyone else got it in stock, with heinnie you pay top wak price for top class service but with the strength of the pound against the dollare if your planning on buying from the states you may want to look else ware.. EOG has been mentioned and is cheapest but http://www.outdoorcode.com/ is doing them for £50.95 and only £1 postage over the christmas period, so he may work out cheaper when delivery to where ever your buddy is staying is factored in, i have had serivce from Andrew at ODC just as good, if not better that that i got from heinnie haynes!

our dutch friends always refer to a very good shop in Amsterdam, the Old Man or something like that... He might have a chance to get one there I think or a at least a DKPK, but UKPK would be better.
