Month: October 2023

With the popularity of the V3 and after some amazing feedback from The Sharp Show we have decided to proceed with a small test run of fully Stonewashed Hoo V3s.

These will be initially limited to a small number of pieces until we get an understanding of how popular they are. As such, blades will not be numbered but instead feature the blade steel M390 on the blade.

We expect production to be completed around late December with orders to be fulfilled sometime Early – aiming for Jan/Feb 2024. This could be subject to change, we will always keep everyone updated via social media and emails. 

The reason we are able to have these made at a much quicker pace than normal is that our manufacturing factory is already currently finishing off work on the Timascus V3s and as such has materials to make blades etc.

PRE-ORDER: Hoo Knives V3 – Fully Stonewashed

It’s with great pleasure we can today announce Hoo Knives has started the production process of a limited run of 100 Timascus V3s.

The results of our poll are clear to us, the demand definitely exists subject to price. With that being taken into account we had some tough negotiations with suppliers to allow us to offer the best end price to customers.

The Timascus V3 will have a pre-order price of £359.99 and retail for £369.99 once pre-orders move onto regular orders, a significantly lower price than we first expected to be able to offer.

Pre-order are now available on our website and production is expected to take 90 days.

All going well we hope to be able to dispatch the first Timascus V3 orders to customers before Christmas 2023. Each Limited Editions Timascus V3 will feature Roman Numerals 1 to 100 as opposed to the #001>#250 numbering on standard production run models. You can Pre-Order a Timascus V3 below:

Number Requests:

Want a specific Roman Numeral for your Timascus V3?

The Hoo Knives team will be trying to accommodate as many people as possible and will fulfil number requests whenever we are able to.

In cases where a number request overlaps with another customer(s) request, an alternative number may be issued. 

You can make requests at the bottom of the checkout page under ‘ Order Notes ‘ as shown below. If possible we ask you to give us a first and second choice as an alternative. 

To track number requests we will keep a note and mark off each number as it is requested and share this on the progress tracker for everyone to see. 

Shown below is an example of the kind of Timascus pattern we will be using known as Raindrop.

The Hoo Knives team wanted to say a major thank you to @the_sharp_show_uk and all the hard-working organisers who helped ensure it took place smoothly and safely, it was absolutely fantastic to meet so many of you and we can’t wait until the next one!😁
