Spyderco Grasshopper
Description
The Spyderco Grasshopper is one of the best selling UK-friendly carry knives that we sell here at Heinnie Haynes®.
Non-locking folding knives aren’t a new concept. They’ve been around for centuries without much change but continue selling among a sea of modern locking knives. The reason? While many knife buyers appreciate the traditional aspects of a non- locker, more want this type of knife because they live or work where laws prohibit carrying and using a locking pocket knife. Spyderco perceived a gap between traditional slipjoints and modern locking folders and created a product line called SLIPITS. SLIPITS offer reliable and sophisticated non-locking folders that open with one hand, have a finger choil for comfort and safety and are conveniently accessible.
As the overall SLIPIT line expands, a subcategory of micro-sized SLIPITS with stainless steel handles is populating within and Spyderco calls them Bugs. The first Bug was matter-of-factly named, The Bug. Its non-locking blade is just barely over an inch long. Next up, a two-inch blade called the HoneyBee followed by the release of a larger one yet, The GrassHopper.
The GrassHopper’s size is closest to that of a true penknife with its blade over two-inches. Its PlainEdge 8Cr13mov stainless steel blade stays open when you’re cutting, held by resistant pressure at the knife’s pivot area. GrassHopper handles are chamfered with no squared-off edges to dig or bite into a gripping hand. The handle is also stainless steel with a laser engraved Spyderco bug and enough blank area for a small amount of engraving or customization as jewelry or a gift item. Handle lanyard-hole welcomes a chain for wear around a neck or a keychain.

- Nice little knife but. ......Review by Charles

The one really outstanding aspect of this little knife is the sharpness of the blade straight from the box. Others have commented on this but I’ve often been disappointed and it seems that other people’s ideas of sharp is somewhat different to mine. Not in this case. It really is wickedly sharp and an example of what can be achieved on a factory edge. Some very expensive knives aren’t this sharp! I suspect that the steel may not hold this edge for too long but it should be easy enough to resharpen.
Great service from HH again. Sometimes I wish they weren’t so good then I’d stop spending my money with them. Just ordered a Puma IP off them. :) (Posted on 10 November 2017)

Now to the knife. For £20 notes, you can't go wrong. Ideal size to put on your key ring, and not so small to be a unusable novelty. Plus its a Spydy! (Posted on 3 October 2016)

In recent months it has developed a very slight wobble to the blade, but as I've used it most days for years, I have absolutely got my money's worth and I can't complain.
When my current one finally gives up the ghost I will definitely be buying another. (Posted on 4 March 2015)

Quality of construction seems superb with no blade play, firm blade lock both extended and retracted and razor sharp out of the box.
Excellent, fast dispatch and delivery next day with standard postage option.
All that remains is to see how this little bug stands up over time but with Spyderco I am confident that this little hopper will be with me for a good long time.

As mentioned by other owners, the knife came hair-shaving sharp out of the box. I have it on my keys, and I mostly use it to cut relatively thick cardboard at work. After about 3 days of constant use, the blade has dulled to the point where it won't slice through 5mm cardboard with a clean cut. This is a softer steel so touching up the blade requires no effort.
The blade is a very decent size, not too large to be conspicuous, but large enough to get most jobs done. The handle is very comfortable with a 3-finger grip.
The build quality is great, the all-metal construction really has no play and is solid, the heft is pleasant too. The hinge came a bit stiff at first, but after adding some WD40 and after a few days of use, it's turned very smooth.
Overall I'm satisfied with this purchase. For the price, it's good value. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a small UK legal pocket knife. (Posted on 9 June 2014)

- Shaving sharp, straight from the box, (the box, I might add, is also pretty cool itself). A little stiff to open but not a problem at all. Fits very well in the hand regardless of size. Fantastic little blade! I will definitely get more! (Posted on 16 February 2013)

- Friends at lastReview by Bret Collins
- In the unlikely event that anyone was worried about my fingers (see Oct '12 below), I can report that I still have the usual number, despite carrying this as an edc for more than two months. It is just lovely to hold, very secure when opened, and gets put to all sorts of use. The most manly thing to date has been peeling the Christmas potatoes and yes, I did just nick my thumb with that wicked-looking point. (Posted on 26 December 2012)

I had a Spyderco Bug first, but the bigger Grasshopper is much better. The exrta bit of size means you can do a lot more with it.
It hold a great edge too, 30 seconds with a DC3 or DC4 and a quick strop and tha'ts it sharp for about a 2 or 3 weeks and I like my knives VERY sharp.
It has a very useful point too. I've lost count the amount of times I've used it to make pilot holes in things. (Posted on 23 March 2012)

The lock is very strong, which can make opening a 2 handed affair, but it keeps it open quite securely.
For the price I'd recommend you buy one. :) (Posted on 15 February 2011)

I came across this knife, and can't be happier. It was dispatched on the same day, and delivered promptly (considering Christmas congestion...)
It's small but won't get lost; has a sharp edge upon opening; and can just about be opened one handed (I'm not the most dextrous...)
Great value, looks good, works well. What more can I say?
I will be buying from here again! (Posted on 30 December 2010)

The blade is suprisingly big and excellent for cutting, the backspring is stiff and you can get a good grip for such a small knife, only problem is its hard to open one handed. (Posted on 20 November 2010)

You won't be building a log cabin with this knife, but the needle thin point and flat ground blade makes short work of plastic packaging and cardboard, and is great for fine work- ie. all the things you *really* need a penknife for...
