You still haven't told us what knife it is!!
Don't know about everyone else but i am intrigued,go on spill the beans
okenest:
I guess I've spent quite a bit more money with Heinnie than most people have, and I've had experience of their service when things haven't, er, gone quite right.
I'm sure if you're fair with them they'll be more than fair with you.

Yep......i'm intrigued to know what knife it is too......
Not massive logs, saplings to make arrows.
HH are very good...
Knife is a colt tactical.
The guy for HH said send it back, he was really helpful.
That knife looks really uncomfortable to use!

Good bargain, though but a bit "tacticool" for my liking

From looking at that image it seems like one of the screws may just have been loose, not Heinnie Haynes fault, more than likely the manufacturers. Just my thoughts.
Aside from that, I've had excellent service from Heinnie Haynes, extremely fast delivery and brilliant customer service.

Yet the folk who have them review them pretty positively on HH site. Go figure....
Like a lot of things in life 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'
You want a cheaper knife than that £20 piece of crap!!! Really??
If you buy a tactical, stabby, faux fighting knife like that and expect it to actually perform as a bushcraft type knife then you really haven't a clue.
And to openly admit you made the wrong choice and fancy a refund so you can buy something else is almost fraudulent. Heinnie Haynes isn't a library or book exchange. You should learn your lesson right here, in public, embrace the suck and get yourself a decent working knife, not that mall ninja tinpot rubbish.
Hold nothing back there!
The knife is almost a "fantasy action type thing" More show than substance. If you want something tacticool maybe look at JonathanD`s review of the BG stuff, they all seemed to hold up well to mucho abuse.
We were all there one day when looks and tacticool was more eye catching than a true working knife, give the guy a break.
Also you may want to spend a few quid on a saw and if you want something for roughing stuff out then look at a billhook but for shevus sake be carefull, whole lotta cutting edge there.
Mines a pint... It Friday, is 9:40am too early?
Ha ha, you tell em!
There are knives cheaper than £20 of course and we all know they work well. Go for a Mora NikolaTesla and batton away to your heart's content. You can get a couple for that and have one for Sunday best and one to rally. No torx screws to fall out and no uncomfortable handle to induce hot spots and blisters either.
I'm looking at the Mora 911 quicksnap
Still one of my faves is the classic I got for £5. Brilliant stick tang once you make a sheath for it! Enjoy the 911.
How did I miss that?
I agree with the sentiments ... but you seem to be using more "forceful" than "tactful" wording
