HOO DESIGNS LIMITED trading as HOO KNIVES was founded in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2021 with the goal of offering premium, British-designed folding knives at fair and competitive prices.
Since then, we’ve expanded our range to include a variety of unique models, each utilising high-quality materials, ensuring durability and top-notch performance.
With a focus on non-locking sub 3 inch practical and safe use folding knives, we’re proud our products are used by professionals and enthusiasts worldwide. We continue to engage with our customers through social media and strive to deliver exceptional performance in every product, alongside a high degree of customer service.
In relation to our name, HOO KNIVES, many may be curious about the connection to the Sutton Hoo site. Sutton Hoo is a significant archaeological site located near Woodbridge, Suffolk, England, known for its medieval cemeteries dating back to the 6th and 7th centuries. The site is famous for the discovery of an Anglo-Saxon royal burial ship, and it has played an important role in British history and heritage. Our name pays homage to this rich historical connection, reflecting the craftsmanship, heritage, and timeless quality that we strive to embody in every knife we create.
Our logo was inspired by the Sutton Hoo helmet, one of the most iconic artefacts from the site. The helmet is part of what is widely regarded as the greatest treasure ever discovered on British soil. We chose to incorporate elements of this historic symbol into our branding to reflect the heritage, strength, and craftsmanship that define HOO KNIVES.
As we build on four years of history, HOO KNIVES continues to evolve and refine our designs. What started in 2021 with a vision to offer premium, British-designed knives at accessible prices has grown into a trusted brand among knife enthusiasts. With each model we release, we aim to offer a product that blends quality, functionality, and class while maintaining a focus on the needs of EDC users in the UK and around the world.
We’ve built a reputation for our commitment to design, performance, and customer service, and as we move forward, we’re excited to continue expanding our range and sharing our passion for knives with an ever-growing community. Every year, we learn, adapt, and strive to improve.
